LEARN 2 RUN 101
NEW to RUNNING and don't know where to start? Have you been following me on learn.2.run IG and want more structured learning?
Join me for a FREE virtual running clinic. Five weeks. Five topics. Weekly rollout.
*Will not be available after 8/2/21 (don't miss out!).
Running Form
I will keep it simple and effective. I'll teach you how to pass the 3 x 3 criteria for safer running form. I will include basic drills and cues that can be used to pass the 3 x 3.
Corrective Drills
Sometimes we have to break up the components of running and work on them in isolation. I will show you some basic drills that can translate into safer running form.
Guides
There will be various forms you can download that will give insight to programming and ensure lasting learning of concepts.
