Strength for Runners Seminar
With Ross Park & Colin Thomas
Saturday 1st November @ 11:30am

Most runners are leaving performance on the table. Endless miles alone won’t make you faster, stronger, or more resilient. The secret? Strength work that’s built for runners, not bodybuilders.
In this 90-minute seminar, you’ll discover how to:
- Program your strength training around running to avoid fatigue and maximise performance
- Build resilience and reduce injury risk with targeted exercises
- Improve speed, economy, and efficiency through strength & conditioning principles
- Apply science-backed methods that work for athletes from beginners to Olympians
