Running Form Clinic, Aurora. 9th March 2013

We all work on our swimming and biking technique but rarely on our running so we are pleased to announce the first of our Running Form Clinics this March. This Clinic is open to ANYONE of ANY ABILITY. Any questions then please email us at coaching@athelite.net or book online at http://www.athelite.net/running-form-clinic.

Most people can run.  However some runners look smoother, more efficient and more powerful than others. Good running form is not always a natural product of being able to run.
By spending a small amount of your training time on drills you can improve your form while also decreasing your risk of injury.
Running with an efficient, effective and balanced form is a skill, one that can be learnt and developed.
Muscle strength, co-ordination, and proprioception can be developed and improved  using a range of exercises that focus on co-ordination and balance, strength, and reaction time. The benefit is it will make you more efficient, improve leg turn over, increase speed, decrease the onset of fatigue, and reduce injuries. 

The goals of the workshop are:
  • Educate you on the value of good running form and how to improve it
  • Give feedback on your own running form
  • Teach you how to do running drills and strength work
  • Explain how to incorporate form work into your training programs
  • Improve Running Efficiency
  • Enhance Running Performance
  • Develop Running Speed
  • Reduce Impact Loading & Soft Tissue Stress
  • Reduce Risk of Running Injury
  • Tips to improve posture and breathing for easier running
  • Advise on footwear choice

With the correct analysis and coaching, you can optimize your running technique.

This is a practical session including running and drill sets.  This workshop will take place outside so wear suitable running clothing and footwear.
