Overview
This 6-week, in-person group program is led by Kinesiologist and Strength Coach, Carson Wendel, and specifically built for runners who want to take their performance and longevity to the next level. Through a progressive, periodized approach, Carson will guide you through key areas that every runner needs: core control, single-leg stability, plyometrics, running mechanics, and strength development.
The class will focus on building the foundation to run efficiently, stay healthy, and develop the knowledge and skills that make you a stronger, more resilient runner for years to come. Every session is coached in person, ensuring safe, effective technique and individual guidance in a motivating group environment.
Performance Testing
We’ll test you on our VALD ForcePlates in the first session and again in the last. The tests are quick and simple: a few jumps and balance-based movements, no max lifts.
Force Plates measure how much force you produce, how fast you produce it, and how evenly you load your left and right legs. For runners, those numbers show where you’re strong, where you’re leaking power, and whether one side is doing more of the work.
Your first test sets your baseline and helps Carson tailor coaching cues to you. Your final test shows exactly what changed over the six weeks, and gives you clear targets to keep working on through the rest of the offseason.
