Strength, conditioning and general fitness

Ten years of strength coaching,
before any of the racing.

The running came later. The foundation is a decade of strength and conditioning, an ASCA certification and a degree in Physical Education — and it is what most runners are missing.

The coaching

What he coaches

Strength for runners

The calf, hip and trunk work that keeps a mileage build from ending in an injury.

General fitness

Starting from scratch, or getting back after years away. No race required.

Hybrid athletes

Strength that survives alongside endurance work instead of competing with it.

Injury prevention

Loading the tissue that takes the force, gradually, under supervision.

Programmes are written to be done at a gym or at home. Supervised in-person sessions with a personal trainer can be arranged on request, in Delhi NCR only, depending on where you are based.
