Jasmin Paris on life after the Barkley Marathons

2 weeks ago | livefortheoutdoors.com | Lily Canter

Lily Canter manages to keep up with Jasmin Paris long enough to ask her some pressing questions... I’m flying down a hill on Dartmoor, legs burning and lungs pumping, trying to keep up with Jasmin Paris - watching the master at work. The sun is out, the trail is soft underfoot, and the woman in front of me just happens to be one of the most iconic endurance runners in the world. We’re at The Way of the Runner retreat organised by author and runner Adharanand Finn.

5 ways to improve your running (without actually running)

2 months ago | runningmatters.substack.com | Lily Canter

We are all looking for that quick fix in life. The product that will make us instantly beautiful, the routine that will give us abs in a week or the training hack to smash a PB. But when it comes to running (and most things in life) the truth is much more mundane. Doing things consistently over a long period of time leads to results.

How to gain control of your bladder while running

2 months ago | runningmatters.substack.com | Lily Canter

Bladder leakage is a problem that affects millions of women worldwide, often interfering with their ability to run, jump, and maintain an active lifestyle. According to the NHS, around 14 million people in the UK suffer from bladder problems, with women being disproportionately affected - especially after childbirth and menopause. Despite this, many women suffer in silence, either too embarrassed to seek help or believing that treatment options are invasive, time-consuming, or ineffective.
Breast milk proteins show even more promise against bladder cancer, cystitis in new trials

2 months ago | scmp.com | Lily Canter

A potential cancer cure that uses a replica of a protein found in human breast milk has even greater results when given in higher doses, new clinical trials show. Alpha1H is a drug synthesised from alpha-lactalbumin, the most common protein in human breast milk, bound to a fatty acid known as oleic acid. In a recent study, it showed complete or partial response in triggering rapid tumour-cell death in 88 per cent of early-stage bladder cancer tumours.

How technology is revolutionising sports bras

2 months ago | runningmatters.substack.com | Lily Canter

For decades, sports bras have relied on high compression and rigid structure to minimise movement, often at the cost of comfort. But the latest research from Professor Joanna Wakefield-Scurr at the University of Portsmouth shows that innovation in fabric technology is changing the game. I spoke to Joanna about how new fabric technology, rather than structure, is altering the way sports bras are designed.

Getty/peakSTOCKBy Lily Canter Breast cancer screening rates remain slightly lower than pre-pandemic levels, with nearly a third of invited women not attending their appointments.
