Have you always wanted to get into running but aren’t sure where to start?
Or maybe you’ve tried before, only to end up injured and back at square one.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
As a physiotherapist, I regularly see people who are motivated to start running but struggle to stay consistent because their body simply wasn’t prepared for the demands of running.
That’s why I created Run Ready.
What is Run Ready?
Run Ready is a 6-week physiotherapist-led program designed to help people become stronger, more confident and physically prepared to run.
You’ll attend two sessions each week, with every session combining practical exercise, education and coaching.
Throughout the program we’ll cover:
- Strength training specifically for runners
- Safe and gradual progression of running
- Injury prevention strategies
- Recovery and load management
- Building confidence before joining a run club or entering an event
The goal isn’t just to help you start running.
It’s to help you continue running.
Why does this program exist?
I noticed a common pattern within my clinic and the local running community.
People were excited to start running, but many became injured before they had built the strength or capacity their body needed.
Others told me:
- “I’m not fit enough.”
- “I’m not strong enough.”
- “I’m worried I’ll get injured again.”
- “I don’t feel ready for a run club.”
These are exactly the people Run Ready was created for.
Who is Run Ready for?
This program is ideal if you:
- Are completely new to running.
- Are returning after injury.
- Want to build confidence before joining a run club.
- Are preparing for your first race or event.
- Are tired of repeatedly starting and stopping running because of injury.
How does the program work?
Everyone begins with a free 15-minute discovery call with Jess.
During the call we’ll discuss:
- Your current activity level.
- Previous injuries.
- Your running goals.
- Whether Run Ready is the best fit for you.
Some people may benefit from individual physiotherapy before joining the group, while others will be ready to jump straight in.
Once accepted, you’ll join a small group of just six participants, allowing for plenty of individual guidance while still enjoying the motivation of training alongside others.
When does Run Ready begin?
The first intake is planned for August 2026.
Places are intentionally limited to six participants, and the first group will help shape future programs through feedback. The goal is to run the program several times each year.
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to start running, this could be it.
Let’s build a stronger, more confident runner, before the injuries happen.
