Pilates for Runners
A masterclass in pilates to improve your running technique
Is this you?
Do you love to run, but have to take frequent breaks from running because of niggles and pains?
Have you just started running for the first time and want to make sure you're doing it right and won't cause yourself any injury?
Do you feel you're at a plateau with your running level and would love to level up and improve your gait?
Do you need to get back into exercise and want some direction and encouragement to just start?
Why should runners do pilates?
Running is a repetitive, high impact movement. Due to this, a slight misalignment or imbalance in the body can go on to create further issues. Many runners end up with niggles or injuries that stop them from running for a period of time while their body recovers.
Pilates is an exercise form which improves muscular strength/stability, joint mobility/flexibility and core strength. It can be particularly useful for runners with it's focus on postural alignment, breathing and muscular development - helping the runner to strengthen the muscles not used so much when running and therefore lowering the risk of injuries from weak or misaligned muscle groups or imbalances in the body.
Performance enhancement
Injury prevention may be the main reason many runners choose to cross train with pilates, but did you know it can also improve your running performance?
The awareness of your body, the alignment of the spine and pelvis, and the mental fitness element to pilates all contribute to enhanced running technique which can improve your gait and help you to achieve more personal bests.

Well, put simply, I want to help you!
I'm a pilates instructor who has gotten the running bug, and I know I'm a better runner because of the strength I have in my body thanks to pilates...
A little background:
I am proud to have had 20 years experience in the performance industry; starting as a singer and dancer and continuing to study fitness for performance professionals. I've been a professional vocal coach since 2016 and fitness instructor since 2020.
Why I created this course:
I started researching pilates exercises which would help me be a better runner, and I realised there is so much expertise out there and so many ways pilates could help! So I went out there and did the work for you; I found the best exercises, read all the blogs, watched the videos and invested in training from pilates professionals and physiotherapists who work with running athletes. I put everything I learned together into this masterclass so that you don't have to do the work at finding what you need - it's all here for you.
