Foundation Run

Foundation Run has helped my running immensely. My speed has increased as well as my running efficiency. This has been achieved with Foundation Run's smart training approach incorporating running specific strength training and a personalised program that fits in with my lifestyle. There is a great social aspect as well, meeting with other runners on a Tuesday evening for a track session. I cannot recommend Foundation Run enough if you want to become a faster runner or just want to make running more enjoyable with like minded people.

I joined Foundation Run after my physio mentioned it when helping me recover from a foot injury. I initially started with the strength sessions twice a week while I was building up running again, then once my physio gave me the OK, got a run program and joined in with the Tuesday night interval sessions also.It's been great to meet and train with a bunch of friendly like-minded people and feel welcomed, especially as I'm relatively new to Tauranga.Summer evening hill reps on the Mount and jumping into Pilot Bay afterwards is great fun! I like the way the run training is combined with smart strength training sessions at the Athlete Factory, and seeing people several times a week and interacting via the Facebook group builds a sense of community.The programming is easy to follow and I'm gradually getting back to where I was before the injury through well structured training and the injury hasn't returned. Looking forward to continuing to improve and enjoy my running :)Thanks Foundation Run!

Great advice and good programming especially around returning to running post injury

I joined Foundation Run after a couple of unsuccessful half marathon events. Before joining Foundation Run I was following a free running plan I had found online and was completing the training runs but I wasn’t getting the results I desired. Frustrated and knowing that I could achieve more, I signed up to Foundation Run. The training sessions are fun, varied and you can see the progress you are making. It is easy to fit in my daily schedule and Foundation Run takes any guess work out of training. No matter where you live, you can join Foundation Run. All my training correspondence has been through email and the Foundation Run website as I live in the lower North Island. I have found there to be fantastic support and encouragement from the other Foundation Run members too. If you have running goals, whether it is distance, time or both I highly recommend Foundation Run training. I am a faster, fitter and stronger runner who has achieved more than I ever thought I could all thanks to Foundation Run.
