Run Free

Run Free Welcome to Run Free the place for Happy Healthy Runners The potential benefits for you! Enjoy your running, run with style.

I have 30 years of experience of coaching running, of improving runners style, of improving runners personal bests and increasing enjoyment. I am a runner myself and from an early age my Dad nurtured a passion for running and I immersed myself in all the literature that I could in the 1970's and 1980's. Luckily for me, I went to the University that housed the National Centre of Athletic Literatur

e which gave me access to a wealth of publications and articles from all over the world. This allowed me to study running (when I should have been a studying engineering), later, when a mature student, I gained a Post Graduate Research Degree in Education. This background of hands on coaching experience, a sound historical perspective and the academic training to assess the validity of current research places me in a good position to help you improve your running. To add to this I have 25 years experience as a teacher of adults with learning difficulties; of teaching disaffected youth; and of mentoring and teaching teachers to teach, I am confident that together we can find the right way to help you learn to runner with style. Many runners have never had any input into their running style, at some point in their lives they put on some trainers stepped out of the door and ran. There is nothing wrong with this, in fact it is to be celebrated, there is no problem if you have natural good running style (form). However, over the years our bodies adapt to poor movement patterns and postures leading to poor running style, injuries and pain. When we talk about running with style we are not talking about looking good when you are running but about moving more efficiently, more effectively, therefore with less chance of injury and with more economy. More economy means long, faster runs; less injury means more running days.

I have just added kettlebells to my coaching offer. I have found these to be the best strength and conditioning tool I have ever used over the last 47 years for runners.

Lovely message from virtual client:
Having spent the past few years plodding around the streets, never particularly testing my heart and lungs due to my body restricting the pace I ran, I approached Martin to help. Within my first consultation (virtually distanced) Martin was able to diagnose what was getting in my way and provided 3 simple exercises. After a week of carrying out the prescribed 12 minute routine I have been able to take 30 seconds off each mile of my regular 5 mile run. Awesome, can’t wait to learn more and see continued improved results and enjoyment. Perhaps there will be a second Marathon after all!

It is worth taking time to remember the Holocaust's impact on the sport of running, the lives tragically destroyed and the wider cost to humanity.

With each passing year, their names, their stories, become more distant relics of the past. But for those whose lives were touched by the most horrifying of atrocities, there’s an onus on the rest of us to never forget.

Fantastic weekend of coaching and analysis; everyone seems to be getting in their correctives and prehab and drills and running before a super Christmas training period. Great working with such dedicated fun and switched on runners.
