About Strength & Conditioning for Runners
Why I Do This
Running’s not just about putting in miles. I’ve seen too many runners burn out or get hurt just because they skipped the basics. For me, it’s simple - you need a strong body to keep doing what you love, and that strength comes from more than just running.
What You Get
- Group strength sessions at local gyms, mixing up functional weightlifting (think squats, deadlifts) with bodyweight basics. Perfect if you want functional strength for distance running, not just big muscles.
- Outdoor HIIT circuits and plyometrics - lots of squat jumps, burpees, and agility stuff. These explosive power workouts for runners help you push harder during those final stretches.
- Mobility and activation drills, including band work and core stability for running performance. We throw in plenty of running drills and use resistance bands to fire up the muscles runners usually ignore.
- ‘Back to Basics’ sessions for anyone who’s just starting or coming back after a break.
The Vibe
- No one’s judging. We work as a group - there’s masti (fun), competition, and lots of high-fives.
- Special women-only sessions (‘With Women We Run’) for a safe, chill space.
- Pain’s part of the deal, but so is celebrating every win. You’ll always find someone cheering for you.
If you stick with it, you’ll see fewer injuries, better times, and honestly, you’ll just feel stronger overall.
