Running Skills Classes
We have several clinicians well versed in training the POSE method of running, and we would be happy to coordinate a running skills class for your unit which will help with running times, efficiency, and reduce risk of injury.
The course consists of one class per week for four weeks. Each class lasts about 45-60 minutes, depending on size. We collect data on a two-mile timed pre- and post run. We can do classes of up to 40 individuals at a time.
We ask the unit to ensure attendance, as attending one session of the four will not provide beneficial results and each class builds on the previous. Additionally, sending providers out of the clinic impacts patient care, and while we are more than willing to make these adjustments, it is important we are not sending providers if the class is not consistent with attendance.
Let us know what you are looking for as the following:
- Class size
- Dates/ time frame (we need at least four weeks lead time)
- If four classes is too long, we can modify. All weeks do not have to be back-to-back, there can be a week between if needed
The POSE Method focuses heavily on non-rearfoot strike (NRFS), which taxes different muscle groups compared to rear-foot strike (RFS) or heel-strike. Specifically, there’s an initial increased demand on the intrinsic muscles of the foot and the calf muscles until the body adapts.
