RUNNING COACHING & RUN GROUP

Physiologically, running will strengthen your cardiovascular system, your muscles, bones and joints, and because we run outdoors you will get your daily dose of vitamin D.

Psychologically, running will build your mental strength and determination and the satisfaction you experience when you achieve a running goal is an amazing thing you can do for your emotional health.

Studio Torus is a qualified running coach. Our instructors will teach you to run safely by educating and conditioning you on correct technique and a gradual increase of training load. For those who have built a base, you will develop pace and efficiency through technique and drills.

Our running coaching technique sessions and endurance run sessions are suitable for any fitness level, no one will be left behind.

We highly recommend you compliment your running with pilates and/or yoga or some form of strength program.

All running classes are suitable for ages 14 and older, so feel free to sign the teenagers up!

RUN GROUP

(saturday 8am from slater reserve)

The focus of this class is on endurance and stamina. Suitable for beginners to advanced. It's about learning to pace yourself and build efficiency. This means for beginner's there will likely be some walking and there is nothing wrong with that. Learning and conditioning the body and mind to run should be a gradual process. Enjoy seeing yourself improve each week, learn how to push yourself through some discomfort and  be able to identify if you're carrying any imbalances that may lead to injury and what we can do to prevent injury. By making the regular commitment to running with others in our classes you will feel a sense of determination and physical and mental strength and stamina.

My Experience with Running at Studio Torus by Kate F.
My Experience with Running at Studio Torus by Kate F.

I never considered myself a runner. I always hated running as a teenager/adult, even though I did little athletics and cross country as a child. As soon as I stopped running as a kid, I never did it again. I found it hard and didn't think I was fast enough. I joined the running group as a way to get back into running and to learn not to hate it so much. I have learned to enjoy running and have seen my fitness and ability to run longer distances get better over time - even though I only run with the group once a week. The best part about the running group is that I can go at my own pace. I can walk if I need to, and the group is really encouraging and supportive. As a result, I never feel like I’m holding the rest of the group back even if I may not be the fastest runner. In the running group, I ran the furthest I ever have, and this year will fun my first 10km fun run - something I thought I would never do. Other benefits of the running group include: learning how to run properly, warming up the muscles and learning about what muscle groups you use when you run. I’ve also learnt cool down, rolling and stretching techniques that I wouldn't have learnt running on my own. This group is great for anyone who wants to start their fitness journey and seasoned runners - it covers everyone.
