Nick enquired about the running technique course with his dream of completing a sub 4h Marathon and to get rid of a consistant pain in his left calf while running.

Half way through the course the calf pain was a thing of the past and fast forward 3.5 weeks after his last session and he completed the Edinborough marathon in 3h59 achieving his dream with a few seconds to spare!

Amazing work Nick 🏃👏🥳🎉🎉

This is What Nick had to say about the course

“I am totally blown away with what Mike has done for my running. In just six weeks of one hour sessions he has totally transformed my technique. So much so that I achieved a long standing dream of running a four hour marathon! When I look at the comparison video of how I was running on day one to how I now run it brings such a big smile to my face. Thank you Mike so much!”

Jess (13) is a very sporty young girl who plays lots of hockey and netball.

Her mum originally contacted me, wanting to help improve Jess's posture. Jess however was more interested in getting faster and improving to make her better at her sport.

The before and after of Jess is amazing, she worked very hard and has some of the fastest feet I have ever seen!

Great work Jess!!🏃👏🏃

Got an Injury.... Stretching is NOT the answer.

I dont care how often you stretch or how flexable you are, stretching on its own is not going to prevent injury and if your injured, it not going to fix it.

Stretching is often credited for alot more than it deserves

Who needs a mirror to see how you run when you can have a TV? 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃

Edd has always been a good runner, more recently focusing on ultra marathons. He was however in some pain due to a tight band feeling around the outside of his knee and his calfs and lower back tightening up regularly.

At the end of the 6 week block of run coaching, the pain on the out side of his knee was pretty much gone and the tightness in his calfs and lower back wasnt an issue anymore.

Good luck with your 50K race coming up Edd!

Marianne wanted to get back into running after having her baby, be able to run further without having to stop and to stop getting the aches and pains during her slightly longer runs. Good work Marianne, keep running and keep practicing the technique!

This machine of a man is Jack, he has recently completed a half iron man, a 24hour non stop murph challenge he set him self (google murph and you will see how impressive it is) and since doing the running course and improving his technique now plans a sub 1h30 half marathon.

Because Jack is so strong he didnt come for the course to prevent injury as his body could cope with more stress than the average person, and therefore came to try and understand how to improve his running and become more effecient

The secret to any rehab, is that there is no secret. There is no bad exercises, just bad dosages. If it hurts reduce the dosage or modifying the movement. Build the tolerance levels of that muscle or joint, back up.

Sometimes niggles and pains can be around for a while, and if that massage or manipulation makes it feel better for a short period of time, than go for it.

Everyone is individual and no same rehab plan works for the same 2 injuries

Amy came for some running techique sessions with the aim of Running the London Marathon next year. Her training was only just beginning but she found the reoccuring pain in her hip flexors after 5k was limiting her training goals and improvements. Good Luck Amy with all the training and for the marathon next year.

"I’d just got home from a run where I felt link giving up on running. I came onto Facebook where I saw a post from Mike! And I quickly asked if I could take part in his running programme. I am so glad I did. He gave me the confidence to run again. Showed me simple things to help my running and my speed has improved so much! He was always so understanding and broke everything down so I could understand and not get over whelmed. I’m so pleased I took part in his programme it has helped so much to give me confidence for the London marathon next year! I cannot wait to book in for my next block nearer the time! Thank you for your patience! ☺️"

These sessions are not only great for running but anyone who suffers from impaired movement patterns, to help in activities as well as every day life.

This is Xav he suffers from mild cerebral palsy (CP), you can see through the sessions how he has improved massively in his walking. We achieve this through some strength work and Dynamic Movement Skills (DMS).

'These sessions were very helpful in terms of improving movement and reducing pain, aided through good instruction and a positive attitude towards improvement by Mike to help achieve that'.
