Summer is where a lot of athletes either quietly build momentum or slowly drift away from the habits that support performance.

The goal does not need to be a perfect programme. It needs to be a repeatable one.

Keep some strength work in. Keep some running, sprinting or change of direction exposure in. Keep one or two basic recovery habits in place.

That alone makes a big difference when training ramps back up later in the year.

The issue is rarely one missed session. The issue is doing very little for weeks, then trying to jump straight back into full training in September.

A simple summer plan, done consistently, beats a complicated one that never happens.

This week's recipe is a plant-rich chilli con carne, containing half the fibre you need for the day in one serving.

Serve with rice and top with fresh coriander, a spoon of sour cream or Greek yoghurt (for extra protein) and a drizzle of lime for extra flavour.

Your lower legs take a lot of load in sport.

They also lose capacity quickly when training volume drops.

This calf circuit helps maintain stiffness, strength, and spring.

That supports running, cutting, landing, and repeated change of direction.

Do 2–3 rounds.

* Single-leg calf raise — 12–15 reps each side
* Bent-knee calf raise — 12–15 reps each side
* Wall calf iso hold — 30 seconds each side
* Pogos — 20–30 contacts

Use full range on the calf raises.

Keep the pogo contacts light and quick.

The isometric hold builds tolerance.

The bent-knee work targets the soleus.

That muscle is a major contributor in running and field sports.

Let's bust some more myths about fuelling around training. What do we really need before exercise to help improve our performance?

Trinity Term is demanding.

Train hard when you can.

Use small doses to keep the body ready.

This hamstring circuit helps maintain posterior chain strength.

That matters for sprinting, acceleration, jumping, and injury resilience.

Do 2–3 times per week.

* Single-leg hamstring bridge — 8–10 reps each side
* Hamstring walkouts — 6–8 reps
* Single-leg RDL reach — 8 reps each side
* Long-lever bridge hold — 20–30 seconds

Keep each rep controlled.

Feel the hamstrings working.

Do not rush the bridge or RDL work.

A short session can still support good training habits during busy weeks.
