We all know that long distance running can be lonely at times. Cranking out those trials of miles. That’s why podcasts can provide the perfect companion to your attendance at the Church of the Solo Sunday Long Run or those tough mid-week six milers.
We have compiled together a number of podcasts to help your running knowledge blossom like… blossom… on a blossom tree.
Our good friend Dave at Coalition Performance has shared four vital tips on the benefits of strength training for runners.
Check them out here :Four top tips from Coalition Performance
Those of you that attended the talk Dave kindly gave us at Club last year on this subject will re-call that Dave is a real expert in his field and is an ex Strength & Conditioning Coach at Leicester Tigers professional Rugby Club.
Dave set up his own gym, Coalition Performance, last year and K&D members Simon Bentley, Steven Skakel, Kathy Bailey and Richard Dixon are all now regulars down there.
If you would like to find out more about Coalition Performance speak to Simon, Steven, Kathy or Richard. Or get in touch with Dave via his website at : http://www.coalitionperformance.co.uk/
The Alexander Technique for Running Foundation Workshop
Do you want to learn more about how to run better more efficiently and faster and prevent injury then read on this is for you!!
We have an exciting opportunity for you to attend a course on running from a Canadian Running Coach called Malcolm Balk and his colleague Susie Baker, who is an expert in the Alexander technique. Malcolm has written an excellent book called Master the Art of Running. I went on this course held for Physios last year and it’s been the best running course I’ve been on. Full of practical ways to improve your efficiency and prevent injury, when you get it right running feels so easy!! The course is being held over 2 sessions at the club. Initially with Susie on the 9th April then the second session with Malcolm on Wednesday the 11th May. There are only 30 places and these will be offered on first come first serve. The cost is £65 for the 2 sessions so great price. See attached for further information.
If you want to secure your place can you email sarah.connors@talk21.com and then pay £25 deposit to the club via Flick Sharp the treasurer, bank details can be found on the website, or let either of us have a cheque made payable to the club.
Following on from the excellent post-run session Sarah Connors did for us on stretching and flexibility, we have lined up another expert in their field to come and talk to us and share their professional know-how…..for free!!
So make a note to be at club on the 11th February because post-run we will be learning from Dave Cripps, Strength & Conditioning Coach at Leicester Tigers!
Dave will be talking about “Running Performance & Injury Prevention : Two Birds One Stone” covering….
- The key physical limitations of running performance.
- The simple reasons why injuries occur.
- His Two Birds One Stone approach.
- And the methods to limit injuries occurring.
This is a fantastic chance for you to learn from a guy who works at the highest level in professional Rugby so make sure you do not miss the opportunity.
See you there.
