BHAC Wellness Afternoon, 10 May 2026

On 10 May, Blaydon Harriers members came together for a fantastic Wellness Afternoon focused on helping runners stay healthy, strong, and injury-free.

We were delighted to welcome Rachel from RJ Performance Nutrition, who shared valuable insights into running nutrition and recovery. Rachel's session covered the importance of fuelling training effectively and highlighted practical strategies to support performance, recovery, and overall wellbeing.

Following the nutrition talk, Sarah from Tyne Physio Pilates led an excellent Pilates and stretching session. Members worked through a range of exercises designed to improve mobility, build strength, enhance flexibility, and reduce the risk of injury, all key components of sustainable running.

The afternoon was both informative and enjoyable, giving members the opportunity to learn from experts while spending time together away from the usual training sessions and races.

A huge thank you to Rachel and Sarah for sharing their knowledge and expertise, and to everyone who came along and made the event such a success.

We hope everyone took away some useful tips and exercises to support their running, and we look forward to hosting similar wellbeing events in the future.
