“Workshops for runners”
Workshops for runners
A series of three three-hour sessions, which can also be booked individually
These workshops are aimed at all runners who want to improve their technique and ease when running.
All of our workshops focus on practical applications. We work outside. We will use video so that you can see where you are coming from and how you improve
“Easy, light, smooth, fast.” (Christopher McDougall, Born to Run)
Topics are
1. The feet our foundation
– Basic biomechanical principles for more ease when running –
In this workshop, we look at the placement of the feet for an efficient running style, and how the joints in our legs work together when we run.
We will address:
- Pronation/supination
- Knee stabilisation
- Hip Extension and Flexion
- Foot placement
- which running shoe is right for me
2. Elastic Energy Saving
– Fascial stretch reflexes and fascial elasticity as a source of energy for more ease when running, with less muscle strain and higher performance –
This workshop focuses on recognising and promoting fascial elasticity when running. It involves learning how the fascial system – and in particular the stretch reflex – can act as a motor driving the running motion without any biomechanical energy input (oxygen or glucose), thereby significantly reducing the total amount of energy required to run.
We will look into:
- Body positioning
- Head positioning
- Contraction of muscles vs muscle expansion
3. Cadence, Stride Length and the Arms
In this workshop, we will integrate the learned techniques into a smooth running style. We will spend some time on reducing the impact time of the foot on the ground, our running cadence and our stride length, as most of us run too slow, or shorten their stride to achieve a higher cadence. And we do need both at the same time, a high cadence and a longer stride
We will look into:
- time of impact
- stride cadence
- stride length
