The Runity Fundamentals

We were born to run and running is indeed one of the most popular sports in the world. In a society where our lifestyles are becoming less healthy, it is essential to engage in any activity that improves all markers of health and reduces the risk of early death.

Is it not strange that a very large number of runners are injured each year practicing the very activity our bodies are designed for? Decades of technological advances in sports equipment has not reduced the incidence of running injuries. What is the solution then, to run without injury?

Running is a skill and you need to know the rules. The rules are based on running biomechanics, neurophysiology and load optimisation. Knowledge of these aspects will allow you to master your own skills as a runner and, after a gradual process of learning and adaptation, will radically transform the way you run.

Runity’s Purpose: Improving the worlds running practice one stride at a time

Runity Painless Running Coach (PRC) course

Join us to learn the fundamental characteristics of safe and efficient running techniques.
Apply them to your clients, students or yourself and avoid the most common running injuries. Reconnect with your true nature and feel free while running with good technique. Get ready to run faster, farther and for the rest of your life.

Running Conditioning
Many people decide to start running to get in shape, but the reality is that you need to be in good shape before you can start to run correctly. There is the belief that to go from sitting at the computer to running a marathon you just need to get out and run. The reality is that there is a learning process where conditioning and adaptation are required. Without this process, it’s likely that you will become part of the 80% of runners that are injured every year.

Learn not only the fundamental exercises to improve your ability to practice running, but also the why behind them.   Only by knowing the functional requirements needed to run can you apply the corrective exercises to your client, students, friends and ultimately yourself. The Runity methodology defines the scientific properties of running from a biomechanical, neuromuscular, motor learning, psychosocial and bioenergetics approach. Runity provides technological and human interventions that improves safety, stickiness and enhanced benefits of the running practice.

Everyone should be able to run and we make that possible by teaching painless running. By applying the principles of movement efficiency, one can significantly reduce harmful forces that reduce one’s ability to enjoy running.

This new scientific view of the most ancient movement form known to mankind is the foundation Runity is built on.
