What will you learn?

Biomechanics

Did you know that many running injuries are caused by faulty biomechanics? Building on your individual running style, you’ll learn proper biomechanics (good running form) covering: posture, arm swing, stride length, foot plant/position, as well as proper footwear and breathing.

 

Pacing

Having a solid base before increasing your speed and distance is important to avoid injury and overtraining.

During the two trainer-led classes per week (Tuesdays & Saturdays) you’ll learn and apply techniques. Weekly runs on your own will help you reinforce your new skills.

 

Nutrition

Having a troubled stomach during a run is never fun. You’ll learn what to eat (and drink) pre-and post-run for energy and recovery, and proper timing for your meals and snacks.

Tips for Success

Learn how to adapt to various weather conditions.

Goal setting and race day preparation.

What to do and how to work around an injury if one happens.

As a university student I have a very irregular schedule, which made it difficult to stick to a regular training plan on my own. Rob’s run clinics have helped me immensely. With a schedule set out well in advance, it has been much easier to plan ahead and ensure that I make time to get my runs in. Also, Rob takes care of the training plan, which means that I never have to worry about what distance or pace I should be running at; all I need to do is show up and run, and the group helps to keep me accountable.

About your trainer

Hi, I’m Rob

I’m an Edmonton-based personal trainer, and the owner of Apex Body Solutions. I have a deep passion for fitness, and I care about helping others. I’ve always been an active individual, and around the age of 13, I discovered a love of running. While completing my degree in Kinesiology at the University of Lethbridge, I competed on the track and field team. Over the years I’ve completed countless races, from short fun runs to marathons.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Questions? We'd love to hear from you.
