A Personal Touch: From Observation to Action

As a physical therapist, I've witnessed many enthusiasts eager to embrace the joy of running, only to be sidelined by injuries or the lack of a clear training path. This observation sparked the creation of a program that not only guides you from the couch to the finish line but does so in a manner that prioritizes your well-being. This is more than just a training schedule; it's a journey designed with your health and goals at the forefront.
