Beth joined us at SFE having lost all confidence in her running due to injury. We quickly identified through our screening process that although very strong in certain areas, she lacked strength and confidence in the areas that would allow her to get over injury and back to running. Over the last 12 weeks we have progressively worked on these ares together, alongside her running program - building back her volume and confidence to successfully navigate the Great Norse Run. She's now backing it up a

2026/06/12

When it comes to injury resiliency and building long term running performance, hill work is a fundamental element. Many runners often fall short in this area and maybe because of where they live or convenience, the majority of their running is mostly done on flat ground. But if we want to bring the next level of conditioning to our tendons, ligaments and muscles, having a regular dose of incline and decline work is going to be really important. Even more so if you are training for races or events
