Always getting running injuries but not sure why?
A clever coaching app and insoles set may help you
find out – the app gives feedback on how you’re
running, as you run, identifying problem areas and
giving insights on how to improve. The NURVV
Run will also stop you overtraining, based on your
stats. You can run phone-free, and connect to Apple
Watch or ANT+ (Garmin) to receive live, in-run
alerts. The technology fits in all running shoes, is
rain, mud and puddle proof and has a five-hour
battery life. You get two ultra-thin insoles with 32
sensors in each, two lightweight GPS trackers and
access to the free NURVV Run Coaching app on
iTunes and Google Play for £249.99; nurvv.com.RUN BETTER

Follow her four-pronged attack:1
‘Think small-range movements
that burn. Barre-based moves
such as the narrow V – a narrow
plié on your toes – and gluteal lifts,
where you lift your leg behind you with an
exercise band round your thighs, are
great. Keep pulsing!’2
‘Do cardio interval training (for
example, high-tempo moves,
such as curtsy fireworks – curtsy
lunges where you hold weights and lift
your arms) for full-body results.’3
‘Work on active mobility for
flexibility and strength (think
pliés for hip opening and the
mat-based, glute-strengthening
Pretzel move – Google it!).’4
‘Try body-sculpting moves.
The pelvic tilt, kneeling and
standing gluteal lifts and the
prone-position swan lift (lie on your front,
hands under forehead and lift your legs,
reaching long through your toes) perk
up your derrière, for example!’EXPERT
