Elite-level sport science support for all devoted distance runners
Olympic and professional athletes have comprehensive sport science support delivered by a team of professionals. We want to bring this to you.
Distance Running Lab is an online running lab that teaches you how to apply the principles of sport science to your own training.
We also offer full-service coaching for those who want custom personal support.
Precision training driven by your data
Generic training programs won’t lead to your best performance. We use sport science and data analytics to provide you with comprehensive individualized training.
Incorrect training can lead to underperformance and injury. Missing key elements of training leads to weak links. Weak links reduce your ability to do the best training. The resulting training load will be poorly managed and you will either do too much and get injured or fail to achieve your true potential.
The solution is individualized training based on assessment and prescription. Knowing your own physiology, biomechanics, strength, and psychology means your training will be designed for you. Our content brings the sport science of elite-level training to all distance runners.
- Dial in your intensity zones
- Manage your total training load
- Maximize your strength and mobility
- Find your best nutrition and fuel plan
- Develop race-ready psychology
