Pilates Training
Tone your muscles!
Pilates dramatically changes the way your body performs.
 Tom Dessereau, Italian Marathon 2007
It’s one form of exercise that enhances every other physical activity in your life, including your running, because it focuses on toning muscles evenly—helping to keep your body balanced, and providing a lengthening support for your spine.
And Pilates is sophisticated and subtle enough to be modified to accommodate any level of rehab when you are coming back from injury. The exercises are done on specially designed equipment to ensure proper alignment during your workout. You also train in a matseries of flowing floor moves.
 
Pilates gives you better body awareness and better posture, and it focuses on stretching as well as strengthening. You’ll notice the difference in your stamina in your next 10K.
Alexander Technique
Lighten up!
Learning the Alexander Technique (AT) is like discovering a super power you didn’t realize you had: an anti-gravity reflex that releases your body upward and makes your running lighter, freer and more effortless.
 Monika Gross, 2007 Empire State Building Run Up
We all possess this anti-gravity reflex. But most of us unconsciously brace, twist and tighten our bodies in response to the various stresses in our lives. In a series of one-on-one lessons in our office or on the run, AT teaches you how to let go of this habitual tension and approach your running with efficiency, ease, and a lower risk of injury.
And you’ll have this skill for the rest of your life.
Let AT be your competitive secret weapon.
A SPECIAL NOTE FOR THOSE RUNNERS COMING BACK FROM INJURY
AT helped individuals with chronic pain, and it can help you keep your running shoes on your feet and not on the shelf.
In a recent study reported in the British Medical Journal, chronic back-pain sufferers
experienced significant long-term relief through AT. One group of patients was given twenty-four lessons in AT, and a year later they reported that their number of days in pain had fallen by 85% compared with the control group. The average number of activities limited by back pain had fallen by 42%. Even a group that had had only six AT lessons noted significant improvements.
