Most runners know they should warm up… but not everyone knows how to warm up properly. Skipping this step — or doing it wrong — can lead to stiff muscles, slower starts, and even injuries. In this video, I’ll walk you through a simple, effective warm-up routine specifically designed for runners. It’s quick (under 10 minutes), requires no equipment, and will get your body ready for anything from a casual jog to an intense speed session. Whether you’re new to running or already training regularly, a proper warm-up makes a huge difference in how your run feels — and how well you recover afterwards. Here’s what you can expect in this session: 🧠 Why warming up matters We start by quickly explaining the why: warming up isn’t just about getting your heart rate up. It’s about preparing your muscles, joints, and nervous system for the demands of running. A smart warm-up can improve your performance, reduce the risk of injury, and help you feel smoother and more confident from your very first stride. 🔓 Mobility-focused movements Many runners sit for long periods during the day, which can lead to tight hips, stiff ankles, and poor posture. In this warm-up, we focus on mobility drills that gently open up key areas like the hips, hamstrings, calves, and thoracic spine — all essential for good running mechanics. 🔥 Dynamic activation Stretching alone isn’t enough. Runners need to activate the muscles that support efficient movement. We include dynamic drills to fire up your glutes, engage your core, and get your legs moving in the same patterns you’ll use during your run. This makes your stride feel lighter and more controlled once you hit the pavement or trail. 🏃♀️ Progressive movement prep Rather than jumping straight into your run, this routine gradually increases your range of motion and heart rate, so your body is ready to go. It includes running-specific movement patterns like high knees, leg swings, or marching drills to ease your transition from stillness to movement. 💡 No equipment, no fuss This entire warm-up can be done anywhere — in your living room, at the park, or next to your car before a race. No bands, weights, or tools needed. Just your body, a bit of space, and less than 10 minutes. Whether you’re training for a 5K, half marathon, or just out for a regular run, this warm-up routine is a game changer. It’s suitable for runners of all levels and can be easily adjusted to your pace and needs. Even if you only run a few times a week, this will help your body feel stronger, looser, and more aligned every time you lace up. This warm-up isn’t just about injury prevention — it’s about feeling good when you run. Let’s get your body moving the right way, right from the start. Ready? Hit play and follow along.

Struggling with sore knees, heavy legs, or feeling out of breath too soon? It might not be your fitness — it could be your running technique. In this video, I’ll break down the essential elements of good running form so you can run more efficiently, reduce your risk of injury, and actually enjoy your runs. Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone who’s recently picked up running again, this video will help you lay the right foundation. Think of this as your go-to running technique lesson — simple, clear, and practical. I’ll walk you through everything you need to know to start running with more ease and confidence. Here’s what we’ll cover: 🦶 Foot strike: what part of your foot should hit the ground first? You might’ve heard of heel striking, forefoot running, or midfoot — but what actually matters for beginners? I’ll show you how to land in a way that’s natural, efficient, and reduces unnecessary impact. 📏 Stride length and cadence: small changes = big results A lot of new runners tend to overstride (landing with their foot too far in front of them), which can lead to joint pain and fatigue. I’ll help you understand how to shorten your stride slightly and increase your cadence (steps per minute) to feel lighter and faster. 📍 Posture: your head-to-toe alignment Good posture is about more than standing tall. It’s about keeping your spine aligned, your gaze forward, and your shoulders relaxed — so your body can move with less effort and more flow. I’ll guide you through a posture check you can do before every run. 💨 Arm swing: the rhythm of your upper body Your arms influence your legs more than you think. We’ll go over how to keep your arms relaxed, moving in the right direction, and in sync with your stride. No more stiff, side-swinging arms throwing off your rhythm! 💡 Common mistakes beginners make I’ll point out a few of the most common form issues I see in new runners — like looking down, leaning back, or running too tense — and how to correct them right away. 🎯 Simple drills to reinforce your technique Throughout the video, I’ll include a few basic drills and visual cues you can practice during your warm-up or easy runs to build better habits over time. You don’t need fancy shoes or perfect form to start — just a little awareness and consistency. This isn’t about running like a pro athlete. It’s about learning to move your body in a way that feels smooth, strong, and pain-free. If you’re someone who’s always said “I’m not a runner,” or you’ve had a rocky start with running in the past, this video is for you. You’ll walk away with simple tools you can use every time you hit the road, track, or trail. Let’s fine-tune your form, take the pressure off, and make running feel better — one step at a time.

Just finished a run? Don’t skip this part — your body will thank you for it. In this 20-minute video, I’ll guide you through a full-body stretching routine specifically designed for runners. Whether you’ve just done a short jog, a long run, or interval training, these stretches will help you recover faster, reduce tightness, and feel amazing after every run. This isn’t a boring stretch session. It’s an intentional, feel-good routine that targets the muscles you use most while running — your hips, glutes, hamstrings, quads, calves, and lower back — so you can move better and stay injury-free. Here’s what we’ll cover: 🦵 Hamstring and glute release Running contracts these muscles over and over again. We’ll take the time to lengthen and decompress your backside so you can walk away feeling open and relaxed — not stiff and sore. 🧘 Hip openers to restore mobility Tight hips are a common complaint for runners, especially after longer or faster sessions. We’ll work on dynamic and static hip stretches that feel incredible and improve range of motion over time. 🔥 Quadriceps and calves care These muscles do a lot of the pushing and stabilising while you run. We’ll give them the attention they need so you’re not waking up stiff the next day or risking overuse injuries. 🌀 Lower back and spine relief Running is high impact, and your lower back can take some of that stress — especially if your posture isn’t perfect. I’ll guide you through gentle movements to help release tension and decompress your spine. 🧘♀️ Breath-focused cool down Stretching isn’t just about flexibility — it’s also a great opportunity to bring your heart rate down and shift into recovery mode. I’ll encourage deep, calming breaths throughout the session so your nervous system gets the memo: the hard part is over. ⚖️ Balance between relaxation and intention You won’t just hold poses and wait — I’ll help you stay mindful of posture, alignment, and sensation, so every stretch is working for your body, not just filling time. No equipment needed — just you, a mat, and your body. You don’t need to be flexible to benefit from this routine. You don’t even need to love stretching (yet). Just give yourself 20 minutes to slow down, breathe, and take care of the body that just carried you through another run. Whether you’re running a few times a week or training for a race, this kind of recovery work is what helps you stay consistent, feel good, and avoid injuries. Add this video to your post-run routine, and notice how much better your next run feels. Let’s stretch it out together.

If you’re just starting your running journey, welcome — you’re in the right place. Running your first kilometre can feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. In this video, I’ll walk you through exactly how to build up to your first full kilometre of non-stop running, using a smart, realistic, and beginner-friendly approach. This isn’t about going fast. It’s about building confidence, staying consistent, and feeling proud when you cross that 1K mark without needing to stop.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this 5-minute video: 🏃♀️ How to start slow (and why it matters) Most people go out too fast, burn out quickly, and feel like they “can’t run.” I’ll teach you how to pace yourself in a way that feels manageable from start to finish — so you stay in control of your breathing and energy. 🚶♀️ Why run-walk intervals actually work You don’t need to run the full 1K on your first day. In fact, walk breaks can be a powerful tool to build endurance without overloading your body. I’ll explain exactly how to use intervals to gradually get stronger and more confident. 🧠 Mindset tricks to stay motivated Running is just as much mental as it is physical. I’ll share a few simple mindset shifts that will help you stay focused and positive — especially when your brain starts telling you to stop. 📏 How to track progress and stay consistent I’ll explain how often to run, how to know when you’re ready to push further, and what signs to look for that show you’re improving (even if it doesn’t feel like it yet). The best part? You don’t need fancy gear or high fitness levels to get started. Just a pair of comfortable shoes, a safe place to run, and the willingness to try. This video is perfect for absolute beginners, returning runners, or anyone who’s ever thought “I could never run for a full kilometre.” You absolutely can — and I’ll help you get there step by step. By the end of this video, you’ll have a clear plan, practical tools, and the confidence to start running in a way that feels achievable and enjoyable.

If you’re a runner and you’re not doing strength training… you’re leaving performance (and injury prevention) on the table. Whether you’re training for your first 5K or aiming to beat your personal best, adding strength work to your routine is one of the smartest moves you can make. And no — you don’t need a gym membership, fancy machines, or hours of time. Just a few targeted exercises done consistently can make a massive difference in how strong, stable, and efficient you feel when you run. In this 10-minute video, I’ll take you through three of the most effective strength exercises for runners — specifically designed to target the glutes, hamstrings, and core. These muscles play a key role in running performance, posture, and injury prevention, but they’re often undertrained or overlooked in running programs. Here’s what you’ll get in this session: 🏃♀️ Why runners need strength training We kick off by breaking down the reasons why every runner — from beginner to advanced — should include strength work in their weekly routine. From improving posture and stride power to preventing common injuries like runner’s knee, ITB syndrome, and hamstring strains, strength training supports long-term running success. 🍑 Glute-focused movement Weak glutes can throw off your form, reduce your running efficiency, and put extra strain on other parts of the body. In this video, I’ll guide you through an exercise that activates and strengthens your glutes with proper alignment and control, helping you generate more power with each step. 🦵 Hamstring activation and strength The hamstrings are often tight, weak, or simply underused in runners. You’ll learn a simple but highly effective exercise to build hamstring strength using minimal or no equipment. Strong hamstrings support better hip extension and help stabilize your stride — especially during speed work or uphill runs. 🧱 Core stability and control Your core is more than just your abs — it’s the entire system that helps stabilize your spine and pelvis during running. A strong core minimizes energy leaks, supports good posture, and allows for smoother movement. I’ll show you a dynamic core exercise that builds real-world strength and coordination, without needing crunches or sit-ups. 💡 Coaching cues & form tips For each movement, I’ll share technique pointers, common mistakes to avoid, and options to scale up or down depending on your level. Whether you’re just starting or want to add more structure to your training, you’ll find practical tips to make these exercises work for you. By the end of this session, you’ll feel more connected to your body and understand how to integrate strength training into your running week — without needing hours in the gym. Just three smart moves that deliver results, every time. Let’s build strength that carries you further. Ready?
