Running
Running never gets easier, you just get faster. The key is finding the path that works for you. With the combined knowledge as a member of the Society of Sports Therapists and UKSCA Accredited Strength & Conditioning coach, that pathway can be found. whether seeking performance gains or recovering from injury. A running clinic with Push Pull Jump will be able to assess, test and get you back on track. My clinic is based from Viking Strength Gym, Ossett, Wakefield, and provides a great space to train.
Running
As runners increase mileage out on the road to push on performance it can open them up to issues such as achilles tendon pain, runners knee and IT band syndrome. By assessing training hours, intensity and history, movement, load tolerances, asymmetries and understanding of the potential contributors to injury, we can help the injury recover initially and then find a movement and load starting point in a rehab programme to get you back to your running.
An injury prevention approach can also focus on improving the body's ability to deal with the forces running put on it. A mixture of education around training progression and targeted exercises to promote tissue adaptation to deal with the impact and volume of run training can be an effective way to keep your running progressing.
Running focused strength programme
While many runners may avoid the gym and prefer to be outside getting the miles in. A well structured strength programme can go a long way to making those miles quicker. A running focused strength programme that fits around run training can help to create a more robust athlete and improve stride power and stability, making every step count. Progress can be measured alongside your running to ensure everything is moving in the right direction.
