Lazy Runner Workshops- Next Workshop Hobart November 10th 2024- 8am

I have been coaching runners for over 15 years both in my clubs, online and personal running coaching- I get asked lots of questions about running- but for the main questions, the best answers come from me showing my runners- or my runners showing me!

So through popular demand I am going to answer all (Hopefully) of your running questions in a Running Workshop format, (oh and its lots of fun as well).

The Lazy Runner workshops consists of Four sessions- you can do one, two, three or the whole lot!
Each Session is $20 per person
Or do the whole workshop (approx 4 hours) for only $60 per person

Running WorkShops Full Workshop $60.00 AUD Session 1 $20.00 AUD Session 2 $20.00 AUD Session 3 $20.00 AUD Session 4 $20.00 AUD

I will be coming to Hobart, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane- or get our own group together and I can come to you...

Session 1. Know your Running Pace

All Runners should know what their ideal running pace is- most don't!
So many runners ask me- 'What pace should I be running at?','Whats a good time for the 5, 10 or half marathon?', 'Am I running too slow?'- I cannot answer any of those questions by you just asking me- but I can help you find out. 

The ‘know your pace session’ finds out what all of your paces are (yes you have more than one)- and in all of that information you will find the right pace for your warmups; your speed work; your 5km runs; your longer runs. You will go away with some actual figures and within them is your PACE- no one else's- just yours.
This session goes for an hour and covers 5km of running (all at your own pace)- its suitable for all runners who can run 5km or more comfortably regardless of pace.
Wear running gear, bring  a drink and something warm to wear before and after the running component.

Session 2. Run Right

Running is easy! It really is. But it is a very repetitive exercise, one step after another, thousands of times. Most of us are running right, but often we may be doing the smallest thing wrong with our running, and although only tiny- you do that little thing thousands of times over and over- after a while it can turn into a big problem.
So this session shows you the basics of posture and technique in running- its not technical and its easy to do, but you will be amazed at the little things you do when running that may be making your running harder- and once you sort those little things out- hey presto- running is easy!

This session goes for an hour- and covers some running and some talking and some demonstrating. It is suitable for all, from non runners to established runners. 

Wear running gear, bring a drink and have some warm gear to put on between the running.

Session 3. Running Stretches and Recovery

Over my years of running (35+), I have invented or found some stretches that really work for my runner’s muscles. I have noticed that not many runners know of these stretches and are also not stretching in the right way.

This session- goes through some great, easy running stretches. Plus we will do some PNF stretches. If you have never done PNF stretching before, come along, you will be amazed at how they feel. 

Wear warm gear and bring a yoga or exercise mat. Drinks supplied.

Session 4: Running Aches/Pains and Injuries and Running 101

If you have ever suffered from aches, pains or God Forbid injuries that have affected your running or have been the reason you have stopped running- then come along to this session. Over my years of coaching I have seen so many runners be put up with injuries that could of been prevented or treated far more effectively. And once again, this is a non technical session. Its me- a runner- letting you know how I have run 35 years injury free (and yes that include ultra marathons, 25 marathons, too many to count half marathons and 10km events, not to mention the thousands of training kms- not one injury in all that time and running). 

Many of the things I cover in this session are about how you can treat your own aches or pains and injuries- and more importantly how to avoid getting them.

This is also your chance to chew the brains of a running coach. Try and bamboozle me with a tricky question on running- I bet you cant! I've felt, or experienced or heard it all. Running is simple, but its so individual and a very much a solo activity and every now and again its good to be able to ask someone in the know your own very personal question about your own running- sure we can research online now everything about running- but there is nothing better than asking it in a forum type atmosphere with someone who knows what they are talking about and can answer your question or direct you to the right type of person or training plan that can help you and your running.

Some of the popular topics we can cover in this session are-
Training Programs
Running Nutrition
Mental Running
Endurance Running
Speed work

And question and answer time

This is a non running session- so normal gear. Hot and Cold Drinks and Snacks Supplied.
