25.01.2022 First run around the bridges since the Quay has been completed..so much more enjoyable now that you don't have to contend with a construction site! For all my running enthusiasts why not mix up your workout and add some intervals into the run. The stretch towards the bell tower is dotted with light posts spaced evenly apart making it easy to schedule your intervals. Today I sprinted for the length of 3 light posts ~90m and jogged for the length of 2 posts ~60m and repeat until you get to the end and then ease back into your usual running pace to continue the loop..definitely got the heart rate going!!

Ingredients For the Doughnuts:... 1 cup/90g blanched almond flour 1/4 cup/45g Norbu or Natvia 3 tsp Tapioca Flour 3/4 tsp Baking soda 1/8 tsp fine sea salt 2 each Large eggs 2 1/4 tbsp/45ml mild flavored oil 1 tsp Vanilla Extract 1/4 tsp white or apple cider vinegar For the Chocolate Frosting: 1 each large avocado skin and pit discarded 1/2 cup/90g Chocolate chips melted pinch fine sea salt Servings 6 doughnuts Directions For the Doughnuts: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Lightly grease a 6-compartment doughnut pan and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, tapioca flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, then whisk in the oil, vanilla and vinegar. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and whisk until batter is smooth and evenly combined. Divide the batter evenly between the 6 compartments of the prepared doughnut pan (each should be about 2/3 of the way full). Bake for 14-18 minutes until the tops are domed and the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring doughnuts to a wire rack to cool completely. For the Frosting: In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the "s" blade, pulse the fruit of the avocado a few times to chop. Add the chocolate chips and puree until smooth. Taste and add a pinch of salt

04.01.2022 Do you suffer from Vertigo, Dizziness or Loss of Balance? There are many different causes of dizziness and Physiotherapy can be extremely effective in helping to determine the cause and treat your symptoms. Physiotherapy treatment is particularly helpful for common causes such as BPPV and inner ear conditions resulting in vertigo.... BPPV: Treatment of BPPV is with canalith re-positioning, a simple procedure that involves your physiotherapist maneuvering the position of your head. The goal is to move the loosened particles in your ear to a place within your ear where they won't cause dizziness and will be reabsorbed into your body's fluids. The success rate of this procedure may be as high as 90 percent. You may need to have the procedure repeated. Inner ear conditions: Balance retraining exercises (vestibular rehabilitation) are used to treat acute vestibular neuronitis or labyrinthitis. These are exercises you learn from a physiotherapist and then do at home. This rehabilitation involves movements of your head and body to correct loss of balance. So if you feel like your whole world is spinning get in touch today!

02.01.2022 As the weather is getting colder and days are getting darker it can be difficult to get motivated to run outside..so is running indoors a good substitute? treadmill running and road running are not quite the same. Running on the treadmill is easier than running outdoors, for a variety of reasons. One reason is that the treadmill belt assists leg turnover, making it easier to run faster. So most runners find that their pace on the treadmill doesnt correlate to their road pac...e. Also, some of the soft tissue conditioning or hardening that occurs with road running does not occur with treadmill running because the plate or base on the treadmill "gives" more than road surfaces. And, obviously there are no weather conditions to deal with when running indoors. However, the treadmill can be a great training tool. Because treadmill running is easier, use it for speed-work. Use the treadmill to help you run faster by speeding up the pace for short intervals and then slow it down for recovery intervals. This is a very convenient way to get in some speed work or tempo runs in a controlled setting. HANDY HINT: set the incline on the treadmill to 1.5 or 2 to mimic the gradient of the road and ensure you are engaging all the right muscles!!
