This workshop explores the use of Pilates mat work and sports specific exercises to improve your running efficiency and help prevent injury. In a study published in Plos One, trained runners who participated in a 12-week pilates course (two one-hour sessions each week) significantly improved their 5K time, VO2 max and metabolic cost of running. Balanced posture and effective core stability are essential for good running technique, and they’re both at the center of the Pilates practice. Sometimes a slight imbalance in the body can create major problems for you when you run, because of the repetitive nature of running. We will pay extra attention to working on hip, knee and ankle alignment, improving the tracking of the knee, strengthening the hips and feet, and balancing the quads and hamstrings. All props provided in class, with the option to purchase after the workshop. Great for runners of all levels!
Space is limited to allow for ample social distancing during the workshop.
