Increasing Running Performance

The Running School - learn to run faster and longer and stay injury-free

The Running School teaches adults and children alike simple running biomechanics, balance and form. It includes all the key technical factors involved with running more efficiently, remaining injury-free and running faster.

Most of the injuries that runners get are because of muscle imbalances which develop through poor technique or due to impact on landing. The running style that many runners adopt is very inefficient and causes stresses and strains on the body, which causes many runners to get injured every year. The main reason being that most haven’t been taught how to run.

A Running School programme involves analysing running biomechanics and creating tailored coaching sessions to improve running technique, performance and above all enjoyment. The training programme is based on an individual’s fitness ability and initially involves six training sessions and a training schedule to follow in their own time.

Sportstest - VO2 max testing and custom heart rate training programmes

If you want to maximise your training then one way to help achieve this is to have yourself tested with Sportstest. Based in both the West Midlands and near to Kingston, Sportstest will measure your running (or rowing or cycling) for efficiency and also take key measurements such as body fat in order to make a complete physiological assessment.

The end product is a training plan with personalised heart rate training zones with a focus on helping you achieve your goals such as a marathon or triathlon. It means you can then use your heart rate monitor properly and really get the most out of your training. Mention Lanson Running when getting in touch for a discount.
