Pilates<\/a> for Runners is one of the most efficient workouts for runners who want to improve their running speed, time, technique and form whilst preventing running injuries at the same time.<\/p>\n By isolating specific muscles groups runners can relieve the muscles they\u2019ve overworked, whilst reactivating the muscles they\u2019ve underused \u2013 vital to ensuring not just a better run, but a pain-free one too.<\/p>\n This class will help you build a stronger and more functional core that will help your body move more freely and efficiently, and reduce the risk of injury in this repetitive and high-impact sport. It will enable your body to control and distribute the impact forces on each footstrike (up to 7 times your bodyweight with every step) more safely and sustainably though the joints at the ankle, knee, hip and lower back.<\/p>\n It will be of particular value to runners with desk jobs, where tight hamstrings and hip flexors, weak glutes, poor hip stability and core strength, and reduction of spinal mobility are the almost inevitable result of their sedentary working patterns. It\u2019s muscle imbalances like these that keep our Physiotherapy<\/a> and Sports Massage Therapy<\/a> teams busy all year round treating common running injuries such as runner\u2019s knee, ITB syndrome, shin splints and a the many knee, neck, hip and hamstring pains experienced by runners.<\/p>\n Whatever your level, if you want to run faster, run further, and run with better form then this class should be an essential part of your running training plan. You don\u2019t need to have done Dynamic Reformer Pilates before, nor do you have to be a seasoned marathon runner or serious sprinter to need a running-specific class – even occasional weekend warriors will feel the benefits.<\/p>\n Exercises can be modified enabling runners of all fitness levels to take part.<\/p>\n Dynamic Reformer-based, this workout is specifically designed for runners. It will release the muscle groups that running overworks and activate the poorly conditioned stabilising muscles running neglects.<\/p>\n Expect plenty of core and glute work \u2013 both in isolation and with integration into more functional movements \u2013 and a focus on improving spinal alignment and hip stability during movement.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll focus on technique along with correct muscle activation and movement patterns to improve your running posture and form \u2013 vital to improving the quality and efficiency of your run.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll also work on some key dynamic stretches for runners.<\/p>\n This class will improve your running form, technique, and speed. You\u2019ll correct muscle imbalances and improve your movement patterns, whilst building overall core alignment and strength, flexibility and muscular endurance.<\/p>\n Expect to improve your quality of movement\u2013 you\u2019ll find yourself running faster, more freely, and with less effort, along with a reduction in pain and injury risk.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n NB: If you want to improve your running further book into our next Running Workshops<\/a>, book an appointment to see a Physiotherapist<\/a> who can help with sports performance or any recurring running related injuries, or learn about the benefits of Sports Massage for Runners<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1481730812920{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]VIEW TODAYS CLASSES<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”subpage_right_block_container ” offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”topLeftRoundell” width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9644″ img_size=”180×180″ style=”vc_box_border_circle” qode_css_animation=”element_from_left”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9643″ img_size=”260×260″ alignment=”right” style=”vc_box_border_circle” border_color=”vista_blue” qode_css_animation=”element_from_right” el_class=”topRightRoundell”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”bottomLeftRoundell” width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9645″ img_size=”180×180″ style=”vc_box_border_circle” qode_css_animation=”element_from_left”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”quoteandauthorContainer” width=”1\/2″] [vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text] Pilates [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] Why come?
