Honestly I’m better at writing programs and coach you to the best version of yourself…

Then busting out content all the time.

Remember, aging doesn’t have to mean getting old.

If you want to remind the mid-20 years old at the gym (or on insta) that you’ve still got it, send me a message to get for AF this summer.

Hey Runner!

Does strength work make you sore?

❌ Like so sore & tired it ruins your runs? Or makes seating on a toilet tough? ❌

➡️ Enough to make you want to skip it ⬅️

Look, sometimes yes… you should be sore.

But if it’s happening all the time… makes you want to skip it entirely… you might be following the wrong plan.

❌ You’re not 20 anymore and recover differently, you can’t train the same way
❌ Generic plans are geared more towards body builders, not endurance athletes

What YOU need is…
✅ A bit of big time strength
✅ Drills for resilient joints
✅ POWER to be fast
✅ Exercises for bone health
✅ Balance and coordination
✅ Some core and arms bc 💪💅

Hey Runner!

Want to run faster, avoid injuries, and keep crushing into your 80’s??

➡️ You need to strengthen your glutes⬅️

How??

✅ Single Leg Bridges
✅ Step Ups & Side Step Ups
✅ Lunges & Split Squats
✅ Single Leg Hip Thrusters

Think 3 x 8-10 reps once or twice a week.

❌ Squats are excellent, but better for your quads ❌

Hey Runner!

Got an epic race coming up with BIG inclines and STEEP downhills?

❌ but don’t leave in an area with that terrain ❌

Try Tempo Squats
➡️ 3-5 second lower
➡️ Stand up normally

Why?

✅ Improve quad tendon resilience
✅ Beef up braking strength
✅ Lower future DOMS

Think 3 x 8-10 reps once or twice a week.

Hey Runner!

Can you feel your glutes when doing the Glute Assessment Drill but NOT during strength exercises?

Bummer! But here is the solution…

Simply do the drill before the strength exercise.

You’ll improve the mind-muscle connection.

And the more you do it, the better the connection… so someday, you might not need to do the drill beforehand at all!

The running world has been sooo excited lately.

Between records dropping in Boston & London…

And now with Cocodona 250!?!?

Loving to see all this progress, esp from the women 💪😎

Hey Runner!

Are you struggling with…
➡️ Low back issues?
➡️ Knee pain?
➡️ Hip problems?

The third assessment I do with runners is to check out their ability to engage their glutes.

Why?

Because if you can’t feel your glute muscles, you could struggle to strengthen them. Other muscle will over compensate and that can cause problems.

So how?

The Glute Engagement Assessment ✅

If you can get feel both sides without much movement in the low back or help from the hammie or quad, you’re pretty good!

If not, esp if can feel one side and not the other, it’s time to prioritizing glute engagement drills & strengthening exercises ‼️
