FACTS

​Runners need to strength train!

Strength = Stability
Strength = Power
Strength = Resilience

Deficiencies in strength are typically a major part of pain in runners (IT band, knees, hips, pelvic floor symptoms…).

Stretching and foam rolling won’t "fix" you.

Skills = Efficiency

Moving efficiently helps minimize energy lost with each step and improve your running economy.
​
With my 5 Skills Framework, you learn to not just absorb ground reaction forces in running but to store them as elastic energy to propel you forward while staying strong and stable with every step!

MY 5 SKILLS FRAMEWORK

THE
STACK

Orient your ribcage over your pelvis to load effectively through your core and unlock your range of motion in all 3 planes.

STAND ON ONE LEG

...like really on it. That means being able to organize your center of mass over your stance leg - internally rotate into that hip, pronate your foot,  load your glutes through length.

ROTATE

Rotate and counter-rotate through the feet (aka. pronation and supination), pelvis, and torso. We need to effectively rotate up and down the chain for efficient forward motion.

EXTEND

You propel yourself forward in your running stride through hip extension. Mastering hip extension (with big toe extension) before knee extension will make propulsion more efficient.

ENERGY STORAGE

Efficiently store and release energy through each stride by mastering the first 4 skills and building strong, healthy tendons.

... all so that you can run with strength, power and efficiency!
