Technique
Running is a Skill.
Endurance, running economy and resilience from injury is not hardcoded in your genetics. Running is a skill that can be developed and dramatically improved using the right combination of technique and training.

Training
You’ll get stronger every mile.
If you train right, your goals and PR’s won’t be able to keep up. But simply doing countless intervals and long runs aren’t going to get you there. Running faster while using less energy – that comes from getting strong, developing your power and improving your technique.
Learn the training philosophy elite runners use to get the most out of their stride by generating speed and efficiency while staying healthy. And because everyone struggles with different elements of running, common errors are broken down so you can self-correct in training before the race begins.
