RUN FASTER, FARTHER, with MORE FUN and FEWER INJURIES!

Starting with this complete Athlete Work-up.  A personalized training review and in-depth running form/gait analysis which serve as a foundational springboard to optimizing your training efforts and improving your running performance.

OVERVIEW:
Together we'll build a better understanding of YOUR unique goals, opportunities and challenges.  Starting w/ your general health, nutrition/hydration needs, training strategies, results, and injury history.  Progressing to an in-depth analysis of your running biomechanics (utilizing digital video, slow-motion, screen-capture/freeze-frame analysis). We'll build your athletic success off these initial pak findings/learnings... a wider knowledge base = higher peak performance!
______________________________________________

MEETING #1: (2-hrs.)
1. Running Form/Gait Analysis.
Utilizing digital video tools to identify and prioritize your SPECIFIC opportunities for improvement/running efficiencies.  (You'll run an easy jog warm-up, then do several range-of-motions drills, and finish w/ 6-8 progressively faster 80m strides. Moderate effort.) We'll finish by demonstrating and discussing our findings (the "why’s" and "how’s"), then we'll prioritize our next steps to expediate your form/gait improvement. 

2. Athlete Questionnaire: Health, Training History, Goal Review.
Every athlete is unique.  We get to know you-- your strength, weakness, challenges and opportunities.

MEETING #2: (1-hr.)
3. Effective Training Strategies (3-P’s) + Injury Prevention. 
Training consistently hard is not the answer-- training consistently SMART is.  We START the process to build your knowledge base+training skill set..

4. Hydration & Nutrition + Shoe/Gear Review. 
We'll discuss easy & better choices to help maximize your training efforts.  (OFF-the-track/turf choices are as important as your ON-the-track/turf choices!)

Drills + Training Skills

SESSIONS:
+ IN-PERSON: 1-on-1 w/ private coach.
+ TIME: 6-hrs. total.
+ SESSIONS: 6x60-mins.
+ PREREQUISTE: Intro Pak.
+ FEE: $595. (Venmo/PayPal)


We begin with the BASICS...

"... Foundational ABC's and 1-2-3's of Running-- to improve your biomechanics, performance, AND injury prevention. 

This science-based process is a pyramid-- the stronger the skills+knowledge base, the higher the performance peak.

OVERVIEW:
6-HOURS of private coaching, comprised of (6) individual workouts w/ your coach. This coaching pak is where we take what we learned about you, and your training, during the “Intro Pak” and begin the process to optimize your running biomechanics by learning PERSONALIZED Form & Gait + Dynamics DRILLS. 

The RESULTS: you will run faster, farther-- with fewer injuries-- if you APPLY these drills correctly, in a consistent manner.

Our initial emphasis is on form/gait and training skills acquisition for all levels of athletes— via focused/isolated movement workouts developed by US Olympic Track & Field Association (USATF) coaches.  
_____________________________________________

-- You’ll LEARN... relatively easy FORM & GAIT DRILLS you can use now-- and for the rest of your athlete life-- for any sport that requires running.

-- You'll DEVELOP... more SPEED and better ENDURANCE from DYNAMIC DRILLS by utilizing a more efficient stride and running economy-- without having to run harder.
_____________________________________________

We build your training foundation wider and deeper with these drills-- and training skills discussions-- for better fitness and speed with more efficient form, gait and foot strike... bypassing the ineffective approach of "JUST RUN HARDER or FARTHER!"

AND... we definitely DO NOT short-circuit the learning/internalization process by just yelling a few cursory/genetic instructions as you run endless laps around the track-- while you try to activate and coordinate the (7) major muscle groups (over 200 muscles) utilized in running.
_____________________________________________

BEST NEXT STEPS:
This pak jumpstarts the process to achieve your running goals. Includes:

+ FORM & GAIT DRILLS (Qty: 5-10.)
Learning basic/foundational running ques + physio-awareness… then creating and internalizing muscle memory + movement of your (5) running levers-- to generate proper force, at the proper angle, for the proper duration. (Ques will include: paw-back/lock-out, dorsi-flex, heel-recovery, cycle, hinge & extend, claw-back, 90-110*, the three-2's... and even "potato-chip.")

+ DYNAMIC DRILLS (Qty: 15-25.)
Practical application of the Form & Gait Drill ques transitioned to run specific movements—developing proper coordination, strength, range of motion, power, speed, and muscle memory/endurance.  We'll also clean-up/enhance any dynamic drills you are currently doing, based on your immediate needs. 

First we go slow, big, and clunky... so we can GO FAST & SMOOTH later!

2. HEART RATE TESTING: 
Max & Resting HR+Training Zones + Workout Guide

No More Worrying About Over/Under Training!  How do you know if you are getting the most out of your training?  Heart-rate based testing is the foundation of all contemporary endurance sport training.  It's the accepted standard effort-based training for high-performance college, elite and professional athletes. 

HR testing, done correctly, removes the subjective interpretation which too often undermines the validity of the older "perceived effort" training method many uncoached runners use.  No more guessing, hoping or agonizing over if you are training correctly-- and to your full-potential.

We'll precisely determine your Max HR and Resting HR utilizing Garmin's industry-leading HRM-Run™ equipment and Connect-IQ™ software.  (These are cornerstone data points for all heart-rate based training.)
