Eight Week Running Program

Our program combines sports science, tailored interval training and specific training zones, with a mix of individual running mechanics and running strength based training.

Places in the latest program have recently opened and now is the ideal time to register, with this years Sydney Half Marathon taking place on May 17th, 2020.

Is Blood Lactate Testing Only Required at the Elite Level

Elite level athletes use blood lactate testing to find small extra gains in their performance, however there is also a case to be made for why amateur athletes may get even more benefits from the test, given their increased room for improvements.

By dialling in specific training zones, blood lactate testing helps us use evidence based exercise prescription to achieve the most out of your training sessions.

If I Don’t Fit the Criteria Above, Should I Still Sign Up

This edition of the Precision Athletica Running Program has been designed to get runners from their current aerobic status to the Sydney Half Marathon. However, if you are simply looking to become a better recreational runner, we can tailor it to your different goals.

If your running base is currently very low, we do need to caution that you may not get half marathon ready in time for the Sydney Half Marathon – distance runners are not made overnight.

But, who doesn’t like a challenge – we do!!
