Running Coaching
Adults and Children
Running Technique
A high percentage of injuries occur as a result of poor biomechanics and so by changing this you greatly decrease your risk of injury.
Running will start to feel easier and your times become faster as your technique improves, making you a more fluid and efficient runner using less energy when you run.
We follow a unique methodology created by The Running School London to correct, improve and transform your current running technique.
Speed and Performance
Take the next step and progress to speed technique sessions once you have completed your initial running technique package.
These sessions train you to hold your new technique at higher speeds whilst still maintaining optimum form and control.
Speed for Sports
These sessions focus on developing multi-directional speed, off the mark speed and straight line speed for optimum quickness and movement in all directions.
They will also improve reaction time, explosiveness and dynamic balance to enhance performance in all Sports.
Movement Training for Adults
Postural Correction
These sessions are ideal if you don’t have an injury as such, but may feel tightness or soreness or a lack of mobility or pain.
Using a variety of different methods we improve your posture and correct your alignment so you move more freely again without restrictions or pain in everyday life.
Balance and Stability training
These sessions are designed to help anyone of any age who may have movement or balance issues from youngsters through to seniors.
We include a mixture of balance, mobility and cognitive training to improve overall quality of movement, neuromuscular coordination and strength.
Walking Re-education
Walking training improves balance and control and creates good posture by using cross lateral movements to promote natural walking motion.
It is also the first stage in Rehabilitation for rebuilding the whole kinetic chain.
Movement Training for Children
Movement Correction
The Dynamic Movement Skills training method primarily stimulates the neural system with significant changes in motor skills and movement pattern in as little as six weeks.
We use this method in all of our sessions and have impressive results in helping children with movement issues and conditions such as Dyspraxia.
Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation and Repatterning
After injury or surgery the body’s movement patterns are altered resulting in compensatory movements and imbalances throughout the whole chain.
We use the DMS Rehabilitation programme to correct these patterns and restore neuromuscular control, enabling you to successfully return to your everyday movement, running and sport.
Clincal-Rehabilitation Pilates
We rehabilitate specific injuries safely and without excessive load using specialised Pilates equipment such as the Stott Pilates Reformer and V2 Max Tower.
This enables us to reduce stress on injured areas and joints whilst promoting optimum alignment and control throughout all movements.
These sessions are often the first steps in your injury recovery before starting your Running and Movement Programmes.

Testimonials
★★★★★
Will has been having sessions with Nicky for a year now and the progress he has made over that year has been brilliant. He just finished 6th at the National XC championships in Loughborough, which is an amazing achievement.
His technique and speed have improved so much, which has helped him not only in XC races but also with his first sport – football.
Will plays for Leeds United U10’s and Nicky has worked so hard on Will’s strength to prevent injury and speed when changing direction and pace to get away from players. His coaches commented on how much they like that part of his game in his end of season review, saying his change of pace is so effective and hard to defend.
Nicky is so kind and patient and Will absolutely loves his sessions. He looks forward to each one as they are so varied and there is always lots of ‘LFC’ discussions too! Thank you so much Nicky you are brilliant at what you do!

Nicky has helped take my running to a different level with a combination of improving my running technique and strength exercises.
Nicky is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. She is also highly motivational and encouraging which has helped me to keep going.
In the time I have spent with Nicky I have achieved PB times at every distance from 1 mile up to marathon distance, but the most important thing has been to stay injury-free and motivated.

My daughters first started going to Nicky’s sessions when they were aged 9 and 7, they are now 14 and 12!
Initially they worked on running technique, progressing to speed and performance coaching, and over the years Nicky has tailored specific programmes for them based around their growing sporting interests (hockey, netball and track & field alongside running).
Nicky’s enthusiasm is infectious and she knows how to get the best out of the girls, keeping sessions fun and varied and giving them clear goals to achieve. She keeps close track of their competitions and races and is always amongst the first to congratulate them on their achievements.
She has also helped the girls through various injuries, often adapting sessions at quite short notice, and has been a valuable source of advice and support. Thanks Nicky!
