ready to overcome injury & return to running?
get back to your best with our return to run program
There can be so much frustration when it comes to getting back to doing what you love after an injury - with constant little setbacks appearing every time you try to up the mileage or increase the intensity.
This often happens because you 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 your injuries are never fully resolved, leaving you suffering as a result - even years down the line.

We’ll help you integrate effective strength and conditioning alongside your running in a way that gets the best results from both - giving you a balanced approach, and a solid base to build your running on.
the comprehensive approach you need
To start your journey, simply book a face to face consultation at a time that suits you at our training studio in Maiden Bradley, Wiltshire.
“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
Not sure if you can overcome your injury and get back to running? Hear from our clients to see what’s possible…
“From devastating knee MRI to a 6 day trail race across Madeira”
Meet Oliver, one of our amazing SFE members, who 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 injury.
It’s a great example of how you can flip the struggles you are facing by applying some logic, structure and accountability, and then getting the necessary work done.
“From a year in a wheelchair to conquering UTMB”
Listen in as we check 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 backstory that makes her result even more special - from a year in a wheelchair following a road traffic accident, two previous medical DNFs at UTMB and two bouts of COVID in the lead into the race, 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.
Jon quickly saw the benefits of his individualised S&C program, and the key exercises and strategies he used to get himself back running ultra distances again.
START FOCUSSING ON THE PROBLEM, NOT JUST THE SYMPTOMS
We treat a range of injuries, symptoms and struggles to get you back to the sport you love.
Here are a just a few examples of the injuries we can help with, and the approach we take…
struggling with calf issues?
Have you been stretching and treating your calf issues for a while now, but are 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 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 - we can show you how.
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. Let us help.
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? Let’s start there.
“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.”
