Use Your Marathon Block Wisely 🤔

Most runners miss the bubble that enhances performance

We go start the year with these goals we want to go nail

But with no seasonal plan or structure on how we get there 🫣

Your marathon blocks are for one thing…

SPECIFCITY 🎯

But the real development comes from outside the block!

The time that we don’t have races on the calendar
The season where there aren’t major plans

These are we can really make massive leaps in our performance!

We get the time to develop
- Strength
- Stronger baselines
- Capacity
- Routines & structure
- Conditioning
And so much more 👏🏻

The goal of the off season is to build the ability to go into the next block

And deliver the specific & key work that is needed to enhance the performance 🙌🏻

The goal of the marathon block should not be to develop fitness

But to enhance fitness, conditioning and improve performance 💪🏻  Manage your off season correctly

And watch your next marathon block fall into line 🙌🏻

Stay tuned for The Off Season launching soon 🤝🏻

This Is Where Progress Is Made 🎯

It’s not in the block
It’s not the lead up to the race

It’s the off season

This is where we develop
Capacity
Strength
Baselines
Nutrition
Routines

This time between now and the new year is where the real work begins 👏🏻

This is what makes 2027 marathon season the one you want 🙌🏻

We launch at the start of October 🤝

Stay tuned for more info

The Off Season 🏃🏻‍♂️

The time every runner should use to their advantage…

But often doesn’t 🫣  We’re coming to the end of the main race season

Spring marathons ✅
Autumn marathons ✅ Halfs ✅ Winters starting to come in ⏳

However, for every runner this is actually where your real development is made 🎯

This is where we branch out and develop weaknesses, improve strengths and develop deeper bases

But its often where a lot of runners end up lost 💭  There’s nothing to train for
No races lined up

But it’s actually the time where we can strip things back & improve your overall performance

Improving your running technique
Your strength development
Our relationship with food and nutrition
Your running fitness

All of these areas are really improved in your off season

Which allows us the time in your specific blocks to be…

Well specific! To achieve the goal at hand 🎯

If you always feel a bit lost in the winter

Not knowing where to go, what to focus on or how to improve in that off season..

Well stay tuned as in the next few weeks we’re going to be releasing something that will take every runners goals in 2027 to that next level 🚀

Tour De 4 🚴‍♂️

What a tremendous day with the team out cycling a tough 90KM raising money for a great cause 👏🏻

Starting off the day it was absolutely bucketing it down but it soon dried out & the wind came out 🤣

Some huge climbs tackled but a great course 🚴‍♂️

A tough training week holding onto some sickness this week but looking forward to another big week coming & only a few weeks out from Barcelona 🇪🇸

Fixing The Stride 🏃🏻‍♂️

There’s no doubt that improving how you move

Will improve the quality of your running 🏃🏻‍♂️

Yet so many runners naively don’t look at this to get better!

It’s the first area we look at & the gains that can come from it are unrivalled 🎯

Running is a skill based sport which means we need to address it in that way & improve the quality of how we move first 👏🏻  So, how did we do it 🤔

First - we assess and understand where we need to improve. For this runner it was all about the quality of their take off, landing and motor functions

Secondly - we look at their mobility and see where the limits are with their range of motion. It doesn’t matter what you do, if you don’t have the mobility to access the range…it will never come together 🎯

We need to improve the range & access to the mobility, in order to incorporate it into our running

Thirdly - we then isolate the areas that we need to focus on that is specific to the motor functions that our body follows when running!
Quality hip extension, landing & take off, hamstring engagement, rotation through the upper body to improve propulsion 👏🏻

Then we put it all together 🙌🏻

I will die on my hill when I say
If you want to get better at running
The movement patterns come first
The programming comes second
It’s not a strength thing
It’s movement organisation issue that most people have 🎯

Fix how you move & watch it all come together

Race Results 🏆

What a weekend the team had 👏🏻

A lot of the team taking part in the NL Half Marathon, Bellahouston 10KM & 5KM PB’s all coming in 🙌🏻

Gordon - Kicking off with his first half marathon race! Something that we have planned for the last 6-8 months and working towards

The goal for Gordon was anything under 2 hours! However, I knew he was about to do something incredible
He crossed the finish line in…. 1:41:35 🥳
Incredible! The hard work & effort that has went into this has been amazing to watch & be part of 👏🏻

Time to see what’s next & I know he’s got more incredible results lined up 🎯

Declan - Next up Declan, taking on his first half, his first race & walking away with a 5, 10 & Half Marathon PB 🏆

Walking away with an incredible time! He’s been working hard in the background with his running & strength work so it felt about right to dive in and test where things are at 🎯

Looking forward to seeing whats to come for him 👏🏻

Alison - Back on the podiums 🥳 this time last year she was out with injury, missing Berlin marathon & not able to run! This weekend, she’s top 3 in her AG & top 10 overall all whilst part of her training run 🏆  This weekend was incredible for Alison and a big step towards Barcelona IM in 6 weeks but also, a real reminder of what is capable with her running & what we can do going into next years races 🏃🏻‍♂️

Reece - Cruising 10K’s whilst prepping for G2E 🏃🏻‍♂️
Reece is right in the depths of his ultra prep at the minute but throwing in some fun races to make training that bit more exciting and building for a big challenge to come 👏🏻  Buzzing to see what he can throw down at G2E 🙌🏻

Laura - Laura decided it was time to go sub 30 on her 5KM & she smashed it out the park 👏🏻 paced by the incredible Natalie Pirrie
Having only started running 4-5 months ago, she’s went from strength to strength with her running & we’re looking forward to seeing her building her volume and smashing out more PB’s 🏆

Interested in how we can help you?
