Running Starts with your Form

---

I believe if a runner understands and applies the principles of good running form they will have the best chance of achieving their running goals. I will show you the latest that exercise science has to offer about analyzing running gait. Learn the one aspect of gait that nearly all elite runners share from the 100 meter dash to the marathon. 

I can give you a great workout plan, but if that plan does not take into consideration your form, you might be putting maximum effort in, and not getting maximum results, because you needed to sharpen one or two aspects of form. Our first meeting will involve doing an analysis of your form using video. 

Form Session: 1 hour 30 minutes / You will run less than one mile.

• Prior to our meeting you will fill out a running history questionnaire and send it back to me. 
• Using video, I will do an analysis of your running form. I will take 3 video recordings of you running at a moderate pace. 
• We will have a detailed discussion about running mechanics from your feet to the top of your head. 
• You will receive a written guide to my eight form cues.
• We will discuss breathing.
• After our session I will send you your videos and several still shots from the videos with analysis of your leg angles at key points of stride. I will give you techniques for improving your form if there are areas you need to work on. 

Principles of Training Session: 1 hour 30 minutes / No running, all knowledge (Form Session is a prerequisite). 

• Concepts of training specifically for you and your goals. We will discuss the running stimulus you need to accomplish your goal.
• We will discuss how to periodize your training, ideally over an 18 to 24 week time frame. 
• We will discuss the disciplined approach to running. "Every run has a purpose."

You are the focus. I want to see you achieve your goals. I offer a wholistic approach that is proven to work.
