The Run With Strength Difference

Strength training is an essential aspect of running training and should be prescribed by all run coaches. Sam’s extensive knowledge of running biomechanics, running injury risk/prevention and strength and conditioning principles means he is uniquely positioned to help you become a strong, robust athlete.

If you are returning to running after an injury or series of injuries, Sam has the in-depth knowledge of running injuries, strength training and load management required to get you back running injury/pain free.

Please note: Although Sam is a qualified physiotherapist, this service is for running coaching and he cannot officially diagnose your running injury in this space. It is always recommended that you seek outside medical / physiotherapy advice for any injury. However, Sam regularly works with athletes to modify running load and strength and conditioning programs when returning from injury.

Coming soon: Online Running Physiotherapy and face-to-face running physiotherapy with running gait analysis using the Runscribe gait analysis system.
