Jeff C. is Ready for His Next 5K!
I got back into running this past summer after not running regularly for about 15 years or so. I had never been a serious runner prior to that, I mainly ran a bit for fitness and pleasure.
Matt at Breakthrough Fitness began coaching me about four months ago. He started with a detailed history of my running and injuries which has included IT band issues and severe adductor strain. (I might be a little tiny bit accident prone). We also talked about footwear and the importance of strength and some kind of crass training activity like cycling.
In the gym, Matt got me on the treadmill and just had me run while he filmed my gait.
After analyzing and explaining what he saw, he gave me a few initial tips in regards to foot strike. It was very different from how I had run before and while it did take a few weeks to get adjusted, it made a very big difference in the sense of fatigue and wear and tear in my feet and legs.
The program he laid out for me was very helpful and motivating. Each day of the month had a plan for running in terms of distance and intensity. Interspersed were days for cross training activities and rest days. Having a plan helps me break down my overall goal of improving strength and endurance into smaller pieces.
So far I’ve been able to run 5ks and hope to run a marathon next Fall. It definitely helps to have a good coach!!
What Else Our Clients Have to Say:
"Before working with Breakthrough Performance I had never really enjoyed working out. I have been working with Morgan for 3 years, through two babies, and have completely changed my narrative! I look forward to our sessions every week as self care time and my body just CRAVES these workouts!!! They are gentle yet effective in building strength, balance, for rehab (I am 6 months postpartum), and giving me bountiful energy throughout my week.
I am getting results in less than 1 hour per week what used to take me hours at the gym (that I hated by the way). I just love how incredibly efficient these workouts are, making it possible for me to strength train in my busy schedule.
Can I leave 6 stars?!"
