Foundation Run is a physical fitness programme, fitness centre, and sports club located in Tauranga, New Zealand. With a focus on personalised run coaching, strength and conditioning training, injury recovery, and physiotherapy support, Foundation Run aims to help individuals improve their overall fitness and achieve their running goals.
At Foundation Run, the trainers, and coaches understand that running is more than just putting on a pair of shoes and hitting the pavement. They believe that the effectiveness of run coaching is enhanced by integrating multiple facets of training. While running further and faster is important, the team at Foundation Run strives to show their clients that there is so much more to be gained from proper training.
Each week at Foundation Run is carefully planned and structured to ensure optimal progress and results. Clients have access to a personalised Training Calendar through their Athlete Dashboard, where they can view their planned runs for the upcoming days or weeks. Progress is monitored, and if clients have a GPS watch or run with their phone using Strava, their completed runs are automatically synchronised for easy tracking.
The Foundation Run programme covers various aspects of training to provide a comprehensive fitness experience. The programme includes focusing on efficient and effective movement to enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury. Strength training is also emphasised to help clients run stronger and further. Recovery and sleep are taught to be equally important as training itself, and clients learn how to properly rest and recharge their bodies.
Nutrition is also a key component, with guidance on fuelling the body effectively. Finally, the programme emphasises the importance of mindset, ensuring that clients enjoy their training and experience the mental health benefits of exercise.
In addition to their comprehensive training programme, Foundation Run offers running assessments to review clients' running technique, training load, injury history, footwear, joint function, range of motion, strength, and movement. These assessments help guide personalised training plans and ensure that clients are on track to achieve their goals.
What sets Foundation Run apart from other fitness centres is their personalised approach. Each client receives a designated Athlete Dashboard to track their progress, update their coach, receive support, and access various features and tools. Foundation Run believes in training efficiency and effectiveness, and clients can assess their training load to ensure they are on the right track.
