Benefits of Refining Running Form
/
Running your best or fastest requires quality and precision of movement, power, and economy. Coach Amy offers two services that help runners achieve this: private Run Development sessions and group Run Clinics.
Private Run Development sessions require an appointment at the CoachAmyPT physical therapy clinic. Group Run Clinic sessions occur twice yearly in the Fall and Spring and are held at a local park. Registration is required, and spots are limited.
Run Clinic is unique in that it includes progressive skill development and a workout personalized to each participant's goals and experience level, considering where they are in the training cycle. So that a beginning runner may have segmented walk: run intervals; at the same time, an advanced, experienced athlete may have lactate stackers or supersets. Workouts accommodate those in recovery or taper mode as well.
“Coach Amy’s run clinic is invaluable. She works with each participant on running form in a fun way, ensuring each participant gets great value out of the work they put in. By improving my form and running economy, I was able to improve my 10k time, as well as I just genuinely feel better after running. I wish I had found Coach Amy years ago. This is the best investment I have made in my running, hands down. ”
Coach Amy assesses your run form throughout the workouts and provides immediate feedback and instruction. She takes lots of videos and photos to share with participants as well.
How do you know if you should attend? Coach Amy says to ask yourself these questions:
Are you breathing correctly?
How is your lean?
What is driving your run?
How is your arm carriage?
Are you generating rotation?
Do you know how to run up and down hills efficiently?
Seasoned and beginning runners can learn, refine, and continue practicing running techniques. It is common for past Run Clinic participants to attend multiple sessions. Coach Amy continues addressing, refining, and practicing her technique even though she has been running for over 30 years.
The Fall 2023 session starts on August 29th.
