Runners:
Do you suffer from repeated injury?  
Would you like to improve your posture and running technique?  Would you like to improve your PB?
Do you need help to create and maintain a strong core?  
Do you have a "bad back", tight hip-flexors or hamstrings?
Would you like to improve your breathing, flexibility and alignment to make you faster, fitter and more efficient?

This 4-week course is specific to runners looking to improve their form and technique by strengthening their core, improving their alignment and increasing awareness and focus.  No previous experience of Pilates needed.

The sessions are taught by a UK Athletics running coach and Pilates teacher.  This is not a generic 'one size fits all' Pilates class, every part of each session is specific to improving your running, making you faster, more efficient and less prone to injury.   
All equipment provided.  
Places are strictly limited to ensure that each participant receives individual correction and coaching.  

Free, no obligation, 'taster' session on 31st March with priority sign-up to the full course.  

Mondays, 7:15pm, Cottenham Sports Centre, starting 28th April - only £30 (includes free Pilates ball or band), £25 for current members of Fen Edge Runners.

To reserve your place either for the taster or full course then please email me.
Don't delay, places are likely to go fast!
"Drop ins" may be available due to holidays/sickness so let me know if you'd like to be added to the mailing list for one-off places? 

For the next 5 weeks, the usual Cottenham group is being replaced by a 'Faster 5k' masterclass.  You'll learn simple but super-effective methods to increase your race pace with small tweaks to your running routine.  

If you've been repeatedly running 5k and hoping to get faster, not really seeing results and not sure why, then this course is for you!  Learn the secrets of upping that pace and snagging your next PB.  Come prepared to work hard and shake-up your training.

This course is available at the bargain basement price of £15 for the whole term.  Do not miss this!

Come and find your speedy inner cheetah!  Beginners welcome (but it would help to know your current, or predicted, 5k pace).  Meet on Cottenham Village Green at 6:30pm, starting 27th June.

After 'how far do you run?' (see FAQs for the answer!) the question I get asked most often is 'what exactly do you do?'.  This is really tricky, as the sessions are deliberately planned to be different each time.  But, here goes:

What you will do:  Running specific drills, hill repeats, tempo sessions, intervals, technique/form drills, speed training, functional strength sets, core work, postural stability/balance, plyometrics, stretching, myofascial release.
What you won't do:  Things like jumping jacks, burpees, crunches, press-ups.  And anything involving too much coordination!

So, every session will be completely running-specific, as hopefully this is why you want to join us - to start running or become a better runner!  If you want to improve your general fitness too, then it'll also do that, but while focussing on muscle groups and actions that are relevant to improving your running style or speed (hopefully you'll realise that press-ups don't do this too well!!).  It's also a chance to discuss training plans, swap tips and get recommendations on kit/races etc.   
Don't expect a generic 'keep fit' session - look elsewhere if you'd like one of these!  
So, want to run?  Then join us!
