Description
This conventional run training is for runners who don’t consistently experience running injuries, feel their form is adequate for their level of running, and want to improve their speed, endurance, and resilience. We will train in the areas of running form, gait and tempo analysis, run-specific body conditioning, goal-pace running, speed work, and resisted running.
– Running Form, Gait, and Tempo: A detailed video analysis of the runner, at full speed and slow motion, will be initially conducted to use as a baseline to determine progress throughout the training program. Once the runner’s video has been analyzed, a specific form-improvement plan will be implemented to improve efficiency, reduce the chance of injury, increase resiliency, and increase speed. Improvement of Form, Gait, and Tempo will be conducted through all other aspects of run training.
– Run-Specific Body Conditioning: A combination of body weight exercise training and dynamic strength training with dumbbells and kettlebells. It lightly trains the whole body since running is a whole-body sport, but explicitly trains the parts of the body most involved in running, such as the posterior chain. Run-specific dynamic strength training also enhances and increases mitochondrial function in the parts of the body most responsible for running. The enhanced mitochondrial function will result in more power output, efficient oxygen utilization, and energy production.
– Goal-Pace Running: This technique teaches the runner to run at far faster speeds for shorter distances, building up to the target distance. This training will build dynamic muscle memory, build instinctual optimal pace through repetition and increase muscular/cardiovascular endurance.
– Speed Work: This training will increase the power output of all running-related muscular systems, increase mitochondrial density/efficiency and dramatically enhance oxygen utilization.
– Resisted Running: This training will be combined with Speed work to further increase the power output of all running-related muscular systems, increase mitochondrial density/efficiency and dramatically enhance oxygen utilization. Resisted running also tends to improve running form through the entire gait cycle.
This training is $95 per hour, but significant discounts are provided when three or more sessions are purchased.
If you are a beginning runner that would like to start your running journey outright or if you are a seasoned runner plagued by running injuries and pain, then Natural Running Training is a better idea. Natural Running training focuses on form, biomechanics, gait, and tempo, and building lower leg resiliency.
