Fit to Run

The 6 week course that helps you strengthen, mobilise and connect with your body from the feet upwards, to improve your running performance, reduce your risk of injury and get you running confident that your body is ready. Maybe you have had injury after injury and want to work on your strength and technique before running again. This is the course to help.

Did you know?

  • For women over 35, who run, their most common injuries are foot and ankle related? Working on your feet, legs and glutes is therefore essential.
  • Over one quarter of the bones in your body are in your feet, so if they’re not happy, nothing else will be!
  • If you’re leaking with running, it may be more important to work on hip mobility rather than isolated pelvic floor ‘clenching’!

This is a six week programme, delivered by your HCR coach that is going to give you a good foundation – literally from the ground up! – to get you back to running. It’s a programme specifically designed for women (because women are DIFFERENT and need bespoke training!)

We’ll cover foot and ankle mobility and strength initially, and over the course, we’ll work together on building resilience in your calves and shins, improving your knees and hips, gain mobility in your spine and pelvis and show you how to put it all together. We’re not guaranteeing you’ll never pick up another running injury but we want to show you how to ‘control your controllables’ when it comes to the most comon injuries women who dun have to deal with.
