STRONG RUNNERS IS BACK

The majority of running injuries happen from doing "too much, too soon". My goal with Strong Runners is to help you become more resilient, stronger, and less injury prone runners through strength training.

If you are new to running, want to run but haven't started yet or are looking for a fun group workout then Strong Runners is also for you!

I have always been frustrated with online/home exercise programs that require obscure equipment so Strong Runners will require no specific equipment to keep this class accessible. Modifications will be given to include equipment if wanted.

** Please note the price is inclusive of all 6-weeks and all classes will be recorded for you to complete when you can

STRONG RUNNERS Strong Runners is a 6-week online strength training program designed specifically for runners or all levels!

Happy Long Weekend! 🥂🥳✨

Low back pain is not cause by having a “bad” back. You don’t have weak discs or muscles. Your body is inherently strong!

Low back pain is multi-factorial. Often, a combination of lifestyle factors, ergonomics, biomechanics, nutrition, sleep, and recovery play roles in low back pain.

Ok, so you have pain.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You know it will not ago away on its own so you seek care.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Two weeks later you feel so much better. But then you have a flareup. What gives?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pain and healing are not linear. Having a good days then bad day is a normal pattern of pain. This does not mean you can never do the thing that injured you in the first place, it just means taking it slow, focusing on rehab exercises, and modifying movements in the short term.

✨COMING IN AUGUST✨

In the next few weeks I will be starting to offer personalize running gait analysis.

The majority of running injury I see that are not from training errors come from muscle imbalance, joint mobility restrictions, or poor muscle firing potential.

Knowing your gait, compensation patterns, and imbalances can be the key to preventing injury and improving performance.
