The Running Evolution
Move Better, Run Fast(er)
With the running season well and truly upon us, many of us will be
seeking ways to lift our game. Running programmes are popular, with a
myriad of groups available for anyone wanting to get into running. With
so many on offer it can be hard to know which one is the right fit for you.
Muscle People staff travelled to
Sydney to learn from renowned running
specialist, Paul Goss from the Running
School in London, UK and have brought
his programme back to The Running
Centre in Christchurch.
The Running Centre is lead by
Grace Fursdon, who alongside her
Physiotherapy degree, also has a
post-graduate qualification in Sports
& Exercise Medicine. Her training,
experience as a competitive runner and
passion for running make her a natural
champion for anyone looking to improve
their running. “If you’re new to running,
or want some professional advice on your
technique, then we recommend individual
coaching sessions.” says Grace. ”We start
with analysis of your running technique
utilising a videoed running analysis
program. When you watch your video
you can clearly see where improvements
and corrections will be made. Once we’ve
got the basics right most clients then
choose to join our RunFit group running
programme which adds the fun and
motivation of running in a group” says
Grace.
RunFit, our group running course, is
a repeating eight week program. Clients
are also welcome to join RunFit without
having coaching if they’re confident with
their running technique.

“I’d run a few half marathons and had just
completed my first full marathon and found
I was getting cramp. I wanted to run more
efficiently, I wanted to get better times and
I didn’t want cramp. Grace used a video
program to analyse my running technique, then talked
me through the faults I had and worked through them
systematically each week at a coaching session. To be
honest the new running technique felt a bit odd at first,
but after a month it felt completely natural. I noticed a
difference straight away, I’m running better, faster
and no more cramp!” - Sam.

To our staff, donors, volunteers, corporate partners and, of course, our patients and their families - your support of our national
