Reduce injury, gain strength, get more out of your mileage! Whether you're a novice or avid runner, the importance of strength training cannot be overstated. Many runners are injured frequently and most will experience some type of overuse stress. Pre-hab for Runners is designed to work the most common areas that runners experience issues.

Improving strength and running form with the use of functional strengthening exercises and drills is the number one way to improve running efficiency and decrease risk of injury.

Meditation has been proven by science to be beneficial to our health on multiple levels and is often a practice that wellness seekers want to incorporate into their daily routines. However, once they begin, they find stillness hard to come by and focus a fleeting ideal. Meditation, like any skill, needs to be built upon a strong foundation. Learn to avoid the typical pitfalls of beginner meditators while fostering a connection to the mind’s inward journey that is essential for a satisfying experience. We will discuss the importance of the meditation seat and posture to create ease in the body. Then, using the ancient technique of yoga nidra, or yogic sleep, we will fully relax the body in order to induce a mindset conducive to meditation. We will end with a short meditation using the skills we’ve learned.
Join Dr. Brianne Scott to learn about maximizing your running health and performance when stress is high and time is short.

We are surrounded by brands everyday, but what about your own? Join Robin Lickliter, Chief Experience Officer at Sparks Marketing Group, for an interactive session on how to build your own personal brand.

And that’s an idea that women can live with!
