Is This For Me
I Am New To Running
New to Running? Back after a long layoff? Don’t know where to start?
Well, this is for you if…
- You are completely new to running
- You’ve tried before but it didn’t work out
- You have no idea where or how to start
- Been injured and feels like you’re starting from scratch
- The thought of running fills you dread, but you’ve signed up for a race
- You tell yourself and anyone who asks, your knees can’t take it (spoiler…they can!)
You don’t need experience.
You don’t need to be fit.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
Your age is not a barrier to your success, that’s your mindset.
You just need a starting point — and the right approach.
This is about building things gradually, in a way that works for you, so running becomes something you can actually stick to, feel like you’re making progress with and you actually enjoy.
Everyone starts somewhere — this is your starting line!
How Do We
GET STARTED?
First thing to know is you don’t have to be a gym goer, it call all be done at home. We focus on…
- Bodyweight and Weighted Strength Work
- Core Stability
- Single Leg Strength (Key for Runners)
- Mobility and Movement
- Plyometrics
To build running strength you do NOT need more miles, you need focused strength work that supports the miles you do.
What Might
Your Journey
LOOK LIKE?
Along with consistency, just as key is your form, which means doing the exercise correctly, meaning posture and timing.
All plans are delivered with in-depth information either via email or What’s App along with a video call to go through each exercise until you are fully happy that you are able to do them correctly. They are updated on a regular basis as you progress
If you are a gym goer, strength plans can be provided for you to do at the gym.
Common Q&A on
STRENGTH & CONDITIONING
I have never done this before, will it not be too much with running as well?
We have to make sure any plan fits to your ability and your lifestyle, so it’s carefully constructed to make sure it’s all very achievable for you to do on a consistent basis.
I am not a big fan of the gym, can I do this at home with limited equipment?
Yes absolutely. We are not building muscle with heavy weights, we are focusing on strength to assist running.
I have never done Plyometrics, what is it and how does it help me?
Plyometrics are short but high intensity and explosive exercises to increase power and strength. Without going into the science of it, it teaches muscles to fire and is incredibly good for runners.
Do you provide S&C plans for runners who are not on your plans?
Yes and quite often, it’s especially popular with casual recreational runners, or runners who attend a running club.
This is the part of training that keeps everything else working, ignore it at your peril!
