Running Buddy was an essential tool for me this year. In previous training blocks I’d struggled with picking up injuries, but Patrick’s gym programmes were a key part of staying injury free in the block leading up to Amsterdam.This meant I was able complete my key running sessions which put me in a great place on the start line. Knowing I’d hit all the sessions over the previous 8 weeks was a great confidence booster, and Running Buddy was a key part of that.
Even more so, having a solid strength and conditioning programme behind me meant that I was able to maintain solid form right through the back end of the marathon. In previous marathons I’d always struggled in the second half, but having that durability from the programme meant I was able to hold my form, and negative split a marathon for the very first time.
Running Buddy is a fantastic tool for anyone looking to incorporate some S&C work into their training.”
