Are you in your 40s, 50s or beyond and like to run two or more times a week?
Let me guess, you run because:
-
You want to keep fit and healthy. (Naturally.)
-
You love the time to yourself. (AKA some much needed headspace.)
-
It’s a reason to meet up with friends.
But there’s a problem.
And you already know what it is…
Those running niggles won’t go away.
An aching hip. Your bad back. Or recurring pain in your calves. That’s just part and parcel of getting older isn’t it?
NO IT’S NOT
Is it your goal to run pain free and just have that runners high?
Then you need to spend some time on you!
All you need is 10 minutes of Pilates a few times a week, whatever level you are we have something for you in the Pilates for Runners membership online.
You’re an intelligent person, I can tell. That’s why I know that you’ve already sussed out the fact that you need to support your running body with some strength training.
It’s all very well for young whippersnappers to ‘grab their trainers and head out the door’ but us more mature folk need a bit of extra attention.
I should know, I’m 57 and still running strong. And training for an Ultra in fact!
Without strengthening your running muscles, it’s like your bones held together with rubber bands. Injury is almost inevitable!
Did you know that 65% of runners suffer from injury each year?
Perhaps you’re one of the lucky ones who’s never had an injury. Perhaps you think ‘cor, that would be a good excuse to not have to run for a few weeks!’
The reality is heart-breakingly frustrating.
To have your choice taken away from you. To not be able to join in with your running friends. To feel all your progress ebbing away.
The truth is that you NEVER have to stop running because of age. You’ll end up stopping running because of injury.
Unless you learn to support your body properly.
But you knew all that didn’t you!
Your problem isn’t knowledge, it’s fitting it into your busy schedule.
Well strap yourself in for some good news…
All it takes is TEN MINUTES a few times a week!
In the Pilates for Runners membership online!
My ethos is little and often. It’s so much better than one blow out session per week.
Small, manageable habits that build up to rock solid support so that you can keep on running. And even improve your speed and resilience as you get older, if that’s what your goal is.

ARE YOU READY TO GET STRONGER AND KEEP RUNNING?
The Pilates for Runners membership will give you the following, depending on which level you join us at (you can always change at anytime too!)
I was drawn to an Pilates for Runners membership online because I could do this at home, and wanted something short, but effective to weave into my daily weekday routine.
I found it. It’s easy to follow, and I felt able to perfect the technique to my level, whilst knowing there was room for further progression as my ability improved.
As a busy working mum, it’s good to have something for yourself that you can fit in. It feeds the soul as well as my mobility. It’s the small changes that add up, and I seem to creak less now 🙂

Louise’s Studio 44 Pilates for Runners membership online has been a great solution for me. Working from home in an unpredictable job meant I was looking for something ultra-flexible, affordable and easy to slot into my life.
Ten minutes at 7am is the perfect start to my day but when I can’t fit even that in – there’s a bank of pre-recorded videos to choose from.
The lives enable personalised, in-the-moment feedback and, coupled with the Facebook group, you really feel you’re a part of a little community.
Pilates in your pjs is totally acceptable and Louise is funny and light – but she really knows her stuff.
Being able to keep flexible and get the day off to the right start has never felt more achievable.

Before, I’d tried Pilates classes because I knew the benefits of it but I was always so rubbish at it, and felt self-conscious because of my poor co-ordination and balance. I also found the classes a bit long and boring.
What I liked about the Pilates for Runners membership online classes with Louise is that they are only ten minutes so you can do as much or as little as you like – I mostly did two sessions at a time.
The videos are clearly explained and easy to follow and I love having LIVE Zoom classes with Louise where she checked I was doing the positions right.
Thank you, Louise, for showing me I can do Pilates!
Louise is a fantastic instructor, patient, friendly and fun and really goes above and beyond to make sure you get the best from the programme.
I also found some niggling injuries I have had for years were helped by the sessions. If you’re considering this, maybe you’ve tried Pilates and felt rubbish at it and silly like I did, then absolutely give it a go.

Learn to fit it in
My clients have very hectic lives but still they manage to fit in their Pilates habit to support their running body.
So what’s made the difference for them?
It’s deciding that enough is enough. ‘I will make supporting my body a priority!’
My ethos is little and often. I’m talking just 10 minutes four or five times a week. It’s much better than a weekly one-hour mega sesh!
