BRAVE Running
By Ben Russell Fitness Coach

The month of June will mark 12 months since I took on my first online coaching client.

Before that I had a few reading plans from PDFs (you know who you are).

I am now embarking on a journey to be fully immersed in the world of Athletics and have had to make some BRAVE decisions to get here.

Do you want to be BRAVE with your running?

Reach out and I will help you embody the BRAVE ethos and become a better runner.

Find out why we decided to start Mini Athletics South Birmingham

MEET THE PEOPLE BEHIND

We are Ben & Rachel Russell, a married couple with two energetic children aged 2 & 4.

After visiting the National Running Show at the NEC and falling in LOVE with the taster class we enquired about bringing to our local area and Mini Athletics South Birmingham was born!

We have a strong background in sport. Ben is a running coach and Rachel has a degree in Sports Science & Sports Nutrition but most of all we love to see our daughters having fun in sports!

At Mini Athletics we take what children love to do the most (running super fast, jumping high and throwing far) and mix it with imaginative themes, learning to follow instructions, making friends and developing gross motor skills.

It is the magical combination of imaginative play, sport and burning energy!

If this sounds like FUN to you and your children then we would love to see you in class.

Details of all the venues and timetables are coming very soon!!

Cambridge Half Marathon 2023

You were a blast. I emptied every bit of energy I had for a PB of over 1 min.

Thanks to for supporting me as always.

I have nothing left right now.

Interviewed Team GB Olympian at Tokyo last year Adam Burgess. A really nice guy. Very interesting interview for anyone who wants to take their fitness performance to the next level…. Regardless of the sport you do.

Stress + Rest = Growth

Think about this the next time you are wondering if you should take a rest day because you haven’t had one for a few days.

We have all been there. Worried that having a day off will make you lose fitness.

You need to see resting as training. It is part of the process.

Did you know if you factor in adequate rest days you will actually grow quicker than you would if you trained every day.

You can try and out train your competition but you will probably suffer burnout leading to physical injury or emotional fatigue.

Train smarter not harder.

- yes it does, but so does a fu***ng rest day!
