Strength & Running

During each foot strike the joints of the lower body can endure up to six times your body weight - there’s no doubt about it. Running is a high impact movement, broken down, it’s a series of small jumps

It’s no wonder so many of us suffer from running related injuries but this doesn’t mean running is bad for us. It simply means our bodies are not primed and ready for running

Compliment your running with a thought out strength programme that includes unilateral and mobility work

‘Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime’

There are endless amounts of fitness methods out there. Methods we blindly follow because it’s in our programme for reasons we may or may not fully understand. It’s just what our coach has given us. Which is absolutely fine, but when it comes to training, we need guidance and self empowerment. Seek help and advice when you need it, but learn to understand your body and your movement patterns.

The principles of training have and always will remain the same. Understand the principles of training and you’ll learn to create your own methods
