Personal Training for Runners

Although you'll no doubt have your smartphone and fitness tracker along for the ride, running is a sport that most people start themselves with no professional sport coaching or training plan. While this makes for beautiful simplicity, it also means it's difficult to fully understand how your body is developing.

With no formal running or strength and conditioning training plans, injuries can creep up on you. Common running injuries include runner's knee (patellofemoral syndrome), achilles tendonitis, shin splint, IT band syndrome, hamstring injuries, lower back pain, plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, ankle sprain.

At Fitness Lab, the certified personal trainer who takes your consultation will perform a detailed body composition analysis using our state-of-the-art Tanita equipment. This, along with a detailed discussion about your current performance, injuries and issues, and the training you do alongside your running, will help us put together a dedicated personal training that will improve your running form, running pace, and stride efficiency.

There are plenty of personal trainers with running knowledge here in London – but few have the depth of team qualifications and experience we have here at Fitness Lab. As well expert coaches, we work closely with an experienced physiotherapist with a specialist interest in running and running-related injuries.

We bring a fusion of expertise that transcends traditional running coaching. Our team includes certified strength coaches, personal trainers, Pilates experts, and a running-focused muscularskeletal therapy partner. We beleive that runners, irrespective of their ability, deserve access to an elite level of support.

Sometimes, running coaching isn't about historic injuries or fine-tuning your form – it's just about having a team that will push you to be faster, better, and stronger.

If motivation and drive is what you're looking for from a personal training coach, you're in exactly the right place. Whether the hurdles you're facing are mental or physical ones, we'll help you push harder than you've ever thought was possible. And don't worry – even if you can't make it to the studio, our online coaching will mean we can be by your side wherever you are or wherever your run takes you.
