Marathon ready with Holland & Barrett

Preparing for a marathon demands more than just endurance; it requires comprehensive care for your joints, bones, and muscles. Holland & Barrett offers a range of products to support your training and recovery.​

Joint and Bone Support
Maintain strong joints and bones with supplements like glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, and collagen. These ingredients are known to support joint health and flexibility.

Hydration and Nutrition
Proper hydration is crucial during training. Ensure you’re drinking enough fluids to keep your joints lubricated and muscles functioning optimally. Additionally, a balanced diet rich in complex carbohydrates and proteins aids in energy supply and muscle recovery.​

Rest and Recovery
Incorporate rest days into your training schedule to allow your body to recover. Post-run, consider gentle stretching and massages to alleviate muscle tension and promote circulation.​

Blue Cross: Debunking Common Myths About Adopting A Pet

BLUE CROSS: DEBUNKING COMMON MYTHS ABOUT ADOPTING A PET

“All pets in rehoming centres are broken.”

Many people think rescue pets come home with a whole host of problems or behaviour issues. Actually, the most common reason for pets needing our help is that their previous owner no longer had the time to care for a pet.

“You don’t know what you’re getting with a rescue pet.”

In fact, it’s the opposite! You’ll know more about an adult pet in a rehoming centre compared to a young animal as their personalities are already formed.

“I won’t be able to adopt a pet as I don’t have a garden.”

We don’t have any fixed rules because we know every pet and their needs are different. Dogs will need an outside area to toilet, as will the vast majority cats, but this doesn’t necessarily need to be your own garden.

“I can’t adopt a pet if I work full-time.”

Our tailor made rehoming looks at each case individually and we’ll work hard to find a pet that’s the right match for you and your lifestyle. Working full-time will not prevent you from rehoming a pet, provided that their needs are met.

“Rescue dogs will always be a crossbreed.”

Pets at Blue Cross rehoming centres come in all shapes, sizes and ages; some are crossbreeds, and others aren’t. But choosing the right pet goes much deeper than appearances.

“Rescue pets and children don’t go together.”

It’s actually quite the contrary! Our teams assess all pets to find out if they’re suitable for a family with young children, so we can find you the right match.

“I won’t find a puppy or kitten at a rehoming centre.”

We often have puppies and kittens looking for homes at Blue Cross, and we regularly need to rehome them.
