'Run Free' - Running Workshop at Connect

CrossFit Connect will be hosting a 'Run Free - Running Workshop'.


As people are starting to plan their training schedules for the Marathon and Brighton Half or any other run for that matter, we thought this workshop would be very useful to help you stay injury free or to obtain that personal best. Whether you are new to running or have been running for years this course could help to put you on the path to improved, injury -free running.

What will it cover?

* Assessment and video playback of running posture, technique and footfall – and how this could be affecting your running

* The Anatomy of movement – we will look at the biomechanics of running and with simple tests assess each runner’s strengths and weaknesses.

* Building on this we will look at running specific conditioning and stability work, including work for the all-important feet.

* Pulling all this together, we will once more head outdoors with some work on cadence using metronomes and more.

* Foam Rolling and Yoga for Runners – the workshop will finish with techniques on how to use The Grid correctly and yoga postures which will not only help prevent injury but could improve performance by improving range of movement.

The workshop will be a mix of practical and theory, with drills, exercises and assessments.

You will not be required to run far, nor be super speedy. It is suitable for ALL levels of runner.
