What you can expect
The Run Strong programme consists of a 90 minute in person workshop led by Coach Nicola, a UK Athletics running coach and personal trainer, and a 4 week online strength programme.
The 90 Minute Workshop
A small group workshop, no more than 12 people, that will get you moving effectively, teaching you movements to improve your running strength, mobility and agility.
All exercises in the workshop are simple body-weight exercises that can be done at home. You will also be shown how you can make the movements more challenging with and without adding weight or equipment.
You will also be shown how to improve your running technique using easy running drills that you can add to your running warm up or cool downs to make you runs more effective.
4 Week Online Programme
Following the workshop you will be invited to join a 4 week online programme.
Each week you will be given
- two strength workouts lasting up to 30 minutes which builds on the exercises learnt in the 90 minute workshop
- a mobility or stretching session
- a running workout to help improve your technique, your speed or your endurance
At the end of the 4 weeks you will have a solid foundation of running specific strength.
