Running Coaching

HERE TO TEACH

...for a healthy mind AND body!

EVERY RUN HAS A PURPOSE

Coaching sessions can vary in duration depending on what elements are included. As an example, a 60 minute session might include a warm-up, technical drills, a 5k interval session and stretches/cool-down to finish. A shorter 30 minute session is more likely to focus on technique and drills, exercises to practice/reinforce correct posture and running style.

Focused training plans can vary in length but 8 weeks allows the benefits of new training to be realised and changes in technique to become habitual. A training plan can be created based on information gathered from a Pre-Assessment Form, however this is best combined with the initial assessment to ensure the plan focuses on technique more effectively as well as targetting your running goals.

NEW OR RETURNING TO RUNNING

While some people will have good ideas of what their running goals are, for others this may be less clear. If this is the case for you they can be discussed during an initial assessment so they can then be factored into your training plan.

STRETCHING VIDEOS (See my YouTube videos, links on the right)

Your legs take quite a pounding when you're running so it's important to stretch the 4 main muscle groups, see image below, to prevent soreness.
