Core Running Training Program
Run Better, Run Faster, Run Injury-Free!
Dear runner,
Do you have a solid running training program in place?
One that covers all the bases to make you a healthy, strong and
injury-resistant runner? Or does your running training program lack in one vital area that
holds you back from running to your potential?
Think about this for a second. The average runner takes between
1200 to 1500 footstrikes per mile landing with 2 - 4 times their
bodyweight with each footstrike.
That's a lot of stress on the muscles, tendons and joints.
Your
running training program should prepare all your body's systems
to take on the stresses of regular running.
Many runners make the mistake of thinking all they have to do is
run to get better or run faster. They run to get fit, when in fact,
you need to get fit to run well.
Elite runners may have the bodies to withstand 100 mile weeks but the average runner cannot handle such high mileage. (And even many pros could use some work on their flexibility and strength.)
Running more miles will lead to improvements up to a point but after that, you get diminishing returns and increase your risk of injury.
A proper running training program should be holistic in nature
and cover all aspects of the Performance
Training Pyramid including:
If your current training program ignores teaching you good running
technique or proper strength and flexibility exercises then you're
setting yourself up to get injured.
The CoreRunning.com program will show you how to develop a powerful,
efficient running technique. It will teach you running
drills and exercises to get stronger, develop
greater flexibility and build a rock solid core
so you can enjoy your running more. It will help you avoid
time off due to injuries.
This website is the culmination of my work over the last 11 years
with hundreds of runners and reading thousands of pages of research (read what some of my runners have to say about my training methods).
I combine science and practical application to get you results!
I've created Runner's Workout
DVD's to help you properly develop strength, power, core stability
and flexibility for running.
CoreRunning.com also provides you with running
tips, nutrition tips and advice
on putting together a running
training schedule. If you are an injured runner there's information
on specific running injuries.
There are many great running programs and products out there and
I'll be reviewing some of them to give you an honest evaluation
so you can buy only the best ones.
The Core Running training program and website give you the tools
to become a better, faster and injury-resistant runner!
