Strength and mobility for runners and walkers

Strength training has been shown to reduce the risk of injury in runners as well as increasing performance and helping you to recover faster. But why is this and where should you start?

 This workshop is all about exploring how our bodies move, our strengths and limitations and how this will affect our running.

We will start by using simple tools to assess our strength and mobility so we can really understand what we are working with. A mobility routine might then free up some sore or limited movements to allow us to build some strength. 

We will run through a simple and effective strength programme, looking at progressions that you can add with minimal equipment, to make you a stronger, more robust runner. 

You will end the day with a personal plan as well as the tools and knowledge to progress this in the future.  

The workshop will be led by Laura, a Level 3 Personal Trainer and Ian Level 4 Strength and Conditioning principles coach. 

For more details on why we should be including some strength training into our training, check out this article from our Better running series. 

The workshop will be run from 10-3pm at Bonaly Scout Centre
