Strength & Conditioning for Runners – Take Your Running to the Next Level
Whether you're a beginner looking to build a solid foundation or a seasoned runner aiming for a new personal best, strength and conditioning can transform your performance. As a Level 4 Strength & Conditioning Coach, I’ve helped runners of all abilities unlock their full potential with tailored, running-specific training.
Why Strength & Conditioning for Runners?
Many runners focus solely on logging miles, but adding structured strength training can bring huge benefits:
Injury Prevention – A stronger body is more resilient. Targeted exercises improve muscular imbalances, reduce overuse injuries, and enhance joint stability, keeping you running pain-free.
Improved Running Form – Strength training reinforces posture, stride efficiency, and running economy, helping you maintain proper form even when fatigue sets in.
Increased Power & Speed – Stronger muscles generate more force, translating to better acceleration, improved endurance, and faster race times.
How I Can Help
I create personalised training programs designed specifically for runners, focusing on:
Core Stability & Postural Strength – Essential for maintaining efficient form
Lower Body Strength & Power – Stronger legs mean better propulsion and endurance
Mobility & Flexibility – Prevent stiffness and improve stride efficiency
Plyometrics & Explosive Movements – Enhance speed and running economy
No matter your experience level, I’ll help you integrate effective, time-efficient strength work into your training plan—so you can run stronger, faster, and longer.

Stretch & Relax Classes – Move Better, Feel Better
Looking to improve mobility, reduce tension, and enhance your recovery? My Stretch & Relax classes are designed to help you move with more freedom and feel more balanced in your body.
Similar to yoga, these sessions focus on deep stretches, mindful movement, and relaxation techniques to improve flexibility and mobility. They are especially beneficial for runners and active individuals who want to release tight muscles and prevent injury.
The class is suitable for all fitness levels and abilities – whether you're new to stretching or an experienced athlete, you’ll find movements tailored to your needs. Expect a welcoming and supportive environment where you can unwind, reset, and leave feeling refreshed.
