Although it seems the most natural thing in the world to do many people don’t know how to run efficiently without getting injured, and to achieve their goal or challenge. People use running to stay fit, for weight loss or to help them with their sport or challenge like running a marathon. Children in particular, because of the reduced time they have to play outside at a young age have underdeveloped motor control skills – running, jumping, turning and sprinting. The purpose of The Running School® is to teach people how to run and then teach them how to run faster.

The Running School® has developed training protocols which can teach anyone how to run efficiently and how to run faster in 6 hours!  The coaching methodology has been proven with thousands of non-athletes and elite athletes and is easy to follow, effective, complete and motivating.

It works equally well with kids as it does with adults who want to learn how to run or improve their running technique and speed.

Benefits of the Running School®

• Increased efficiency of running technique
• Increased confidence and enjoyment

This is probably the toughest of the disciplines because it comes at the end and it requires the greatest degree
of aerobic power.  Again those new to running should focus on short bursts no longer than 5 minutes interspersed with walking. Injury prevalence is highest during running due to the impact, but do not let this induce anxiety, as the correct trainers and training will minimise this risk. It is essential that trainers are fitted by a specialist.
