Initial Screening and Testing: The Assessment

This assessment allows us to review your running technique, flexibility and strength, as well as gather some simple testing data as a starting point for your program. It gives us the opportunity to chat to you about your short and long term goals in sport, any previous injuries, upcoming competition dates and your training workload. 

The assessment includes:

  • Individualised report
  • Jock Athletic running singlet 
  • Discounts at Runnulla and Nuzest

 

For the Serious Athlete: Strength Training

To maximise your running potential, all runners should also include strength training in their overall program. This will provide core, glute and hip stability which are needed for stride efficiency, strength and power for running. See our Gym Program for more details.
