ABOUT THIS COURSE

Running is not just about aerobic training.

The musculoskeletal load from running is an essential component to training our
bodies to adapt to external forces.

Learning the correct running Pose is just as

important as having a stable position for an
overhead squat. Being able to run well is
essential to becoming a complete athlete.

Most runners over-stride and therefore

expose themselves to an increased risk of
injury. If you’ve had shin splints, knee pain,
calf tightness, Achilles soreness, or plantar
fasciitis, chances are you’re over-striding.
During this seminar, using evaluation tools
like video analysis, we can show you your
technique faults and prescribe specific drills
to correct your running form.

This immersive two-day course covers the fundamentals of correct running technique in a
lecture setting, with practical application following as participants and coaches practice.

Drills and exercises are repeated until the students have an understanding of how to learn
and teach running technique safely and effectively. Strength, flexibility and mobility
routines for runners are introduced on the second day of the course.

Participants will learn to apply the principles in training themselves and others to increase
running specific strength, agility and perception – all of which improve running
performance.

Running is one of the pillars of natural human locomotion -

TESTIMONIES

The Pose Concept provides something every coach needs: a universal standard for
movement. For me, personally, the Pose Method for Running has been the most
transferable way to teach bodyweight perception.

As a CrossFit coach/gym owner, this is a game-changer especially when dealing with

young athletes. If you are a CrossFit coach and aren’t teaching Pose Running, you are
leaving major dots unconnected in your program. If you are coaching track, this is
obviously even more critical. Most importantly, being involved in the Pose community has
taught me that I will always be a student, and every coach needs that ego check.
Chris Sinagoga, Owner/Coach,
Champions Club / CrossFit Athletic Group

The technique really did help me become lighter on my feet and helped me become
quicker.
Matthew Dellavedova,
Cleveland Cavaliers

The Pose Method of running has not only eliminated my injuries, it has been an
integral part of continued improvement in my chosen sport. In fact at 52 years of age I am
still improving. A bonus of the Pose Method for me has been significant health and
strength improvement.
Terry Roberts,
28 time Ironman finisher
and Ironman Australia legend
