Here's What Our Customers Are Saying
This program works. I’m just getting back into running after several injuries. The program really helped get my form right and develop good habits during the run. No more over striding!”
Rennee
Through the ‘POP! Running form’ training program Sam has coached me into a much more efficient and effective running style. Both my top end speed and the pace I can maintain at a given power/HR level have improved greatly, especially impressive given it has only taken 4 weeks to date! I feel much better prepared for my upcoming ultramarathon and have even been able to revise my pace targets given the increase in efficiency. Whilst the value the training program has given me in terms of my running efficiency has been great, one of the biggest pieces of value that I have taken has been the way that it allowed me to learn how to feel what good form feels like and build cues to ensure I am maintaining it. This has allowed me to check my form to ensure that bad habits don’t creep back in when I am fatigued during long training runs which has allowed me to stay injury free and keep on track with my training plan.
Ben
Wow! What a great experience!
I worked with Sam’s Pop Running program for 4 weeks and not only did it positively change the way I run, but it also changed the way I look at running. I enjoy it so much more.
The approach used in the program is very down-to-earth and the material is easy to absorb. I am confident that this accelerated my personal development. I have learned to use the glutes and hips more, which I believe has resulted in a more efficient running stride and less fatigue at the end of a run.
The program has also provided tools and knowledge to take the development of efficient running form well into the future. Priceless!
I don’t use clichés lightly, but this program, for me, was a ‘game changer’.
Andy
