RunFit is your injury prevention programme
The RunFit exercise programme has been developed based on Neil’s extensive experience treating runners of all levels at the clinic in Chamonix.
As Chamonix is host to some of the most demanding ultra-trail running events in the world, his experience includes competing in these events himself, and also treating the other athletes who push themselves to the absolute limits of human endurance in training and during these races.
The various aspects of the program can be used at any time of the year, however it is recommended to build up with a minimum of six weeks of prehab and mixed core sessions prior to starting the running drills as they require a level of control and stability that is developed in the earlier training.
There are four phases of drills which again should be tackled progressively as you develop strength, balance and coordination. In the extras section are a variety of activities to develop explosive strength and also running feel which build upon the drills and also provide ways to add variety to your training.
Always consult your Doctor before beginning any exercise program.
