Struggling with running?

GET FIT & MEAN IT! with World Champion Kate Bramley

Maybe it’s your technique…

Often a few simple things to focus on will help you improve your running technique. Next time you go out for a run think about the following:

  • Forward lean with a straight line from ankle to ear
  • Increase cadence & decrease stride length
  • Focus on driving forward with your movements rather than upwards
  • Relax arms & shoulders pulling elbow behind you
