RETURN TO RUN PROGRAM
are you Looking to overcome injury and get back to your best?
There can be so much frustration when it comes to getting back to doing what you love - with constant little setbacks appearing every time you try to up the mileage or increase the intensity.
This often happens because many runners haven’t yet been shown how to approach the bigger picture.
Past treatments or solutions have only focused on the symptoms, rather than getting to the core of the problem.
This means injuries are never fully resolved and many runners can suffer as a result, years down the line.
The success we’ve had with clients at SFE is due to our deep knowledge and experience in considering all the variables and listening to how your body is responding. Communicating daily with clients we have the ability to make necessary adjustments to your programming quickly.
We address the issue by working on your levels of strength and conditioning, managing your overall training load and addressing many other contributing factors that make you the individual runner that you are.
By integrating your strength and conditioning alongside you running in a way that get’s the best results from both, we achieve a balanced approach that provides a base to build your running upon.
“Our return to run program provides the comprehensive approach you need”
“There is no way I could have expected more from my SFE journey to date. I came seeking help, a bit lost, suffering with recurring nerve pain, hamstring troubles and a weak posterior chain.
I'd tried numerous ways by myself to get out of the situation and I just couldn't get anything to stick. I've trusted the program 100% and I've been as consistent as I possibly could, hitting 90%+ of the workouts and exercises - the app, videos, emails and the whole infrastructure around the program were pretty key to that consistency.”

return to run CLIENT stories
'From devastating knee MRI to a 6 day trail race across Madeira'
Meet Oliver, one of our amazing SFE members, who has achieved something incredible this year.
All simply by putting his head down and ticking all the boxes that he needed too, which has resulted in him completing a major life goal that he was previously told wouldn’t be possible due to an injury.
Its just another great example of how you can literally flip 180 the struggles you are facing by applying some logic, structure and accountability in place and then getting the necessary work done.
“From a year in a wheelchair to conquering UTMB”
Listen in as we checked in with SFE client Laura off the back of her fantastic 106 mile race at Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB).
However, it’s Laura’s back story that makes her result even more special, from a year in a wheelchair following a road traffic accident, two previous medical DNF’s at UTMB and two bouts of COVID earlier this year, it was Laura’s positivity, determination and consistent hard work that got her to that finish line.
“From stress fractures to trail marathons”
Join us as we hear from Jon as he details his long journey with constant lower limb running injuries, having tried all types of running gait courses and orthotics to solve the reoccurring problems.
And how he quickly saw the benefits of his individualised S&C program, and what key exercises and strategies he used to get himself back running ultra distances again
“START FOCUSSING ON THE PROBLEM AND NOT JUST THE SYMPTOMS”
struggling with calf issues?
Have you been stretching and treating your calf issues for a while now and still not seeing any change?
Maybe it has nothing to do with your calves.
Maybe they are strong enough already and you need to be looking elsewhere
no change after a run gait analysis?
Have you spent money on finding out how you run but are still having issues?
“Consistent cadence” “Less pronation” “Run taller” “Chest Proud” “Run on two tracks” “Push the ground away from you”
These coaching cues are pointless if you do not have the strength or conditioning to engage and execute these behaviours over time and distance?
You need to be building your strength alongside increasing your running volume and intensity.
ongoing Hamstring Tendinopathy?
How long have you been suffering with hamstring issues?
Are you unable to add more volume or intensity to your running without fear of aggravating the injury?
Are your hamstrings strong and conditioned enough to support the demands of your training?
Massage and stretching won’t solve a strength issue.
painful Achilles?
How many calf raises have you now done in the hope it’ll resolve your pain?
What if we told you it had nothing to do with the strength of your calves….
has anyone looked at your ability to produce and absorb force? Or watched to see if you jump and land with control and stability?
How about the strength and mobility of your feet?
“I started working with SFE again after I tore the meniscus in my knee and was faced with the prospect of surgery. They helped me focus on what I can do and develop rather than what I cannot do with my knee.
Strength training was something I enjoyed but undervalued, as a masters runner, and increasing volume without being strong first was not a great approach. After four months of solid work, steady progression in returning to running, I completed a 10km race with no knee pain.”
