RUNNING

Do you remember how you used to run around the garden or park when you were a child? The freedom you felt and the ease with which you could do it? How many of you reading this now are wishing you could still run and feel like that? Well, with some help and a bit of hard work you can.

Whether you want to run for enjoyment, to get fit and healthy, to enter the next local 5k 'Race for Life' or to run next year’s London Marathon, I can help you achieve this.

If you have never run before but would like to start then what better way than to have somebody show you how. And think of the calories you’ll burn too!

I can design a programme for you whatever your running experience. If you’ve never run before then we will start with a gentle walk/run programme and I will be with you every step of the way.

'Running doesn't care what size you are, it doesn't care if you go red and wheeze trying to get from one lampost to the next - it only gives you encouragement to progress every time you move one foot faster than a walk. Running can be my greatest joy and my greatest sense of achievement.' Sharryn S.

If you are a seasoned runner and want to improve your form or speed then I can design a programme to include tempo runs,interval training and other drills. If you are planning to run a half-marathon or marathon we can train with that goal in mind and make sure that any other complimentary training you are doing is going to enhance your performance. Please visit my Pilates for Sport page and TRX Suspension Training Page for more information.

Why run?

Apart from making you feel fantastic, running can improve your health and is a great calorie burner…
