Success Stories

From injury to Worlds Toughest Mudder

Matthew came to me with a calf injury only weeks away from his scheduled marathon and only months away from attempting the Worlds Toughest Mudder 2019. 

We utilised cross training in Matt’s program to ensure that he could continue with a minimal impact towards his end goal. Matt was unable to run without pain, so he sourced help from a physio and we also increased pre-hab and mobility exercises in his program. On top of this we worked on Matts overall strength as a runner and tweaked Matts form to help prevent the injury from re-occuring.

As the weeks went on Matt was able to run again with minimal loss of fitness due to a tailored plan concentrating on his personal needs.

Matt completed Europes Toughest Mudder with over 35 Miles, only a few months after being unable to run.

But best of all, later that year Matt ended up at the start line of the Worlds Toughest Mudder 2019, injury free with a herculean effort of 50+ Miles in the bag.

Success Stories

From Fun Runner to Elite Podium

Beth was a fun runner turned age grouper who had fell in love with the sport but was looking for better results on the field.

She had a good background in strength work, utilising some strong man classes in London, however she felt her running was letting her down when it came to getting those last few places in the race.

We designed a running program tailored to her Spartan Race schedule which consisted of Beast, Super and Sprint races. 

Working on building a base and some tailored speed sessions, Initially she saw an improvement in her age group standings. But unfortunately she succumb to injury on the field due to a footing misplacement.

After some rest and re-tailoring her program to a new goal for her Sprint race in Scotland, Beth had the personal drive to step up to the elite field and see how she stood against the best in the UK.

Beth managed a fierce effort in her race at Spartan Sprint Race in Scotland, and managed to Podium with a 2nd Place Overall in the women’s field.
