As a Physiotherapist I have been working with runners for almost 20 years to diagnose and treat their running injuries and help them return to doing what they love.
​
Running can be a risky business, especially if you are taking on the challenge of the longer distances of a half marathon and further and sadly injuries are common.
​
50% or runners get injured every year to the extent that they need to take a break from training. That doesn't include all the little 'niggles' that people ignore and keep on training through. From my extensive experience and research I discovered that men and women respond to training differently and have more prone to different types of injury.
​
Women are NOT small men.
​
To get the maximum benefit from our training and to reach our full potential our training and nutrition should be designed to work in harmony with our female hormones.
​
This is especially important for females age 40+ as our female sex hormones and the health benefits they give us decline. After the age of 40 we need to adapt our training to accommodate our changing hormones. The training and nutrition strategies that worked for us in our 20s and 30s are no longer ideal.
​
I trawl through the research and the scientific jargon so that you don't have to. I provide science backed running related advice on training, nutrition and injury prevention and rehabilitation.

I hope you enjoy my content, and Happy Running!
Who Am I and Why Listen to Me?
I'm Nicky Edwards and a Physiotherapist of almost 20 years. I am mum to my two gorgeous children age 7 and 13. I play hockey and am a crazy runner who loves a race medal and running for charity. I've run the London marathon 5 times, the New York Marathon and the Berlin marathon. I have been part of the medical team at the London Marathon, so have experienced marathons from both sides of the fence.
I've worked with the London Marathon, speaking at the 'Meet the Experts' day and on the Centre Stage at the Running Show. I speak about how to prevent injuries, marathon training, female specific training, perimenopause and menopause as well as how to stay safe while running.
​
I volunteer for the charity Children with Cancer UK supporting over 1200 marathon runners to ensure everyone gets to the start line of the London Marathon every year.
So many women I meet have the desire to run but are too afraid and just don't know where to start.
This FREE eBook answers the 10 most common questions & fears I get asked by female clients.
