RUN COACHING
Need a little extra feedback on your running or some extra encouragement?
One-on-one sessions will be personalised to you, your level and your individual goals. They will include a combination of running drills, interval training, stretches and some strength exercises, all designed to boost your performance.
Cross-training is vital for injury free running and bespoke personal training sessions work alongside your running to build your levels of strength and flexibility. Running injury-free is the basis of all my training programmes.
Guided runs are also a good option if you’re marathon training and finding it hard to motivate yourself on the longer runs or need new routes.
VIDEO ANALYSIS
If you want to run faster, further, and with less risk of injury, an analysis of your running technique will benefit you. ANY runner from beginner to elite can improve their movement patterns. by targeting:
Arm & elbow positioning
Core rotation
Hip stability & knee control
Heel lift/knee drive
Lateral and vertical motion
Heel strike & foot landing
Stride patterns & cadence
Forward lean
EVALUATING THE DATA
Our run analysis is a combination of visual video analysis (with the all-important 'before' and 'after ' shots) and the evaluation of collected data designed to critique your run technique at different speeds.
The analysis covers: ground contact time, ground contact balance, cadence, stride length, vertical oscillation, and vertical ratio. For serious runners, this information is invaluable in making improvements in areas such as pace and form.
ASSESSMENTS

I can assess your running in varying environments, distances and types of running. Perfect for those recovering from injury or just wanting to improve their technique.
