Questions runners ask

No. Heavy, low-rep strength work improves running economy and stride power without adding meaningful mass.

For most runners, two focused sessions a week — dropping to one in peak mileage and race week.

Yes. We build sessions around your long runs, key workouts and club nights, and work alongside any run coach.

Both. In person across South East London (home, park or gym) or online via our coaching app, UK-wide.
