Strong to Run

You love running (or you used to, you want to) but ugh…. it just doesn’t feel as easy and joyful as you want it to.

You may have had a baby or a long break off, or you just know you could feel better and you want to kick those aching knees, sore back and panty liners to the curb, for good.

This is for you!

Kaye Burrows (Core and Pelvic Floor Exercise Specialist) and Michelle Friesen (Physiotherapist and Runner) will guide you through techniques, strategies and exercises to improve your running. Common concerns such as leaking, pelvic pain, hip, back, knee and foot pain will be addressed with various exercises and strategies.

We have revamped our program this year to make it easier for you to learn what you need to know and put it into practice.

Note: You can purchase just Part 1 ($47), just Part 2 ($47) or the entire package ($75).

Part 1, the Strong to Run Online Course includes:

  • The 4 part framework we use to help you run well postpartum: Core, Base, Yield and Run

  • What you need to know about your core and pelvic floor and how to identify your weaknesses

  • The key muscle groups that you want to strengthen to support your core and pelvic floor

  • How to build an aerobic base so you aren’t loading your lungs (and your pelvic floor) too fast, too soon

  • A progressive way to build back impact to keep your feet, joints and pelvic floor happy

  • Techniques and strategies that will help all runners wanting to return to run or run faster/farther with less pain and peeing

  • A progressive running plan to follow as you build up to 5km or 10 km distances (separate plans included for each distance).

Part 2, the Strong to Run In-Person Workshop includes:

  • Warm-ups and Cooldown drills that can help your pelvic floor, feet and hips better prepare and recover from a run

  • Live Run Analysis and Feedback from Physiotherapist and Runner Michelle Friesen

  • Specific Strength-based Coaching and Feedback from Core and Pelvic Floor Specialist and Fitness Trainer Kaye Burrows

  • A full group strength workout and short-run (suitable for all levels).

  • The Mama Runner’s Checklist: a guide to returning to run after babies and what to do if you run into pain or peeing once you start
