My strength sessions focus on functional movements and glute activation to build the foundation you need for every kilometer. ## Photos and videos - [Video: A High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) session in action.

These sessions are about fixing the imbalances that cause common injuries like shin splints and runner’s knee. We use loop resistance bands and bodyweight exercises at HSR Layout Stadium to target your glutes, hips, and core, ensuring that when you hit the road, your body is ready to hold its form. Running is a high-impact sport, but the impact should not break you. Many runners neglect the accessory muscles, leading to premature fatigue and setbacks. My goal is to build a robust runner, not just one who logs miles. Glute activation is non-negotiable. If your glutes are dormant, your lower back and hamstrings compensate, which is a one-way ticket to chronic pain. We use lateral walks and clam shells to wake these muscles up. Whether you are prepping for a marathon or just starting your journey, these exercises provide the stability you need. We focus on form, as proper posture during a squat is more important than the weight you move. We use resistance bands because they provide constant tension through the entire range of motion, which is excellent for functional strength. We meet at the HSR Layout Stadium. It is a group setting, which keeps motivation high. Bring your mat and bands. If you are serious about becoming a stronger, more resilient runner, this is where you start. ## About Vikas Srinivasan I believe running is a lifelong journey, not a race to the finish line. I help you build the foundation, the strength, and the form so you can keep running for years, not just weeks.
