Landing-Strength • Running For Real

Hey you! Thinking about taking a productive step to actually make sure you stay injury free and feel better in your training?

Sounds too good to be true, right?

Let’s see if we can show you that we are real people, who genuinely want to help you run better. The more people we can help to train correctly, and stay injury free, the happier we feel.

I know how miserable injuries can make you feel and not feeling comfortable running in your own body can be devastating. I spent many years with injury after injury, until I met Drew, and all my injuries faded away.

I wanted to offer you the same option, to have an individualized plan that is created for YOU and your individual strengths and weaknesses.

From that, the Running For Real Strength Training program was created.

What are others saying about the Run Strong Program?

I have been to dozens of physical therapists, chiropractors, and personal trainers with the hopes of becoming a stronger runner and staying injury free. This is the first plan I have ever followed that really got me focusing on the foundational skills we all need to be strong and healthy. If you can’t move correctly and breathe correctly, you can’t strength train and run well. The best part about the program is the feedback and support from Drew and Tina, as well as the community of other runners who are following the plan.

Lisa

Sure there are lots of runner exercise “plans” out there but this is one that actually focuses on what your body needs not what ever body that runs might possibly need. And you get the personal attention of Drew and Tina.

Peg

Great program! I feel stronger in those hard workouts (fartleks, tempo runs) and my long easy weekend runs have become more enjoyable. I especially like the timely responses through the facebook group and the encouragement and support of the other members of the group as we all go through the plan together.

Being an athlete all my life, I am not new to strength training, but I have been struggling to find something that would address my personal needs and be affordable at the same time. This program is not one size fits all, it is tailored based on my individual needs and weaknesses, and it has been effective since day one! Its holistic approach is exactly what I was looking for, and I could not have been happier to run better, recover faster, and be injury free. Proper breathing, form, and execution, with Tina and Drew nothing is left behind. Every exercise is provided with why is done, how to do it, and questions are never left unanswered. Thanks to this program, I am looking forward to a successful and injury free running career!

You don't have to be like me, brand new to running specific strength training, to get the most from this program. This isn't a hodgepodge of exercises plucked off of the internet. This is a customized plan that takes into account your skill level and familiarity with strength training, formulated for you with goals in mind like staying injury free or getting faster, built by educated professionals that will account for your compensations and weaknesses to ensure that you run stronger for longer. I noticed changes almost immediately. I learned how to recover properly to run with less pain more frequently, proper body mechanics to get the most out of every movement, and suddenly it all began to spill over into my everyday life. This program has really facilitated a healthier lifestyle change for me. My hope is to remain injury free and break my masters PR in the 5k. I am supremely confident this will happen and can't wait to update when it does.

Eddie

I am grateful to have had this training program tailored to my needs. Not many plans start with a personalized assessment in the beginning! And I think this is critical. There's way too many generic plans on the market that can hurt or hinder the athlete if it's not addressing the athlete's specific weakness and/or strengths. As a personal trainer my own strength training gets forgotten (I'm just too tired to want to even THINK about more fitness at the end of the day), as a runner my mobility/flexibility is all but non-existent and as an expectant mother sometimes the motivation just isn't there. So for me this program was perfectly timed! The biggest improvement I noticed was the increased ROM (range of motion) in my hips. When I first began some of the mobility drills I really began to feel just how tight I really was. I could barely get my hip hiked at all! No wonder running felt like a challenge most days. The only thing I regret with this program is that I didn't have it during my marathon training season this past winter/spring! I think if I'm running this strong and fast while getting fat and pregnant imagine how awesome my marathon training would have been?!

I have been running for five years and in this time I have have worked with personal trainers and coaches with a variety of backgrounds. The program developed by Tina Muir and Drew Watts is by far the best I have had. Even when an online coaching might seem distant, the program is developed and adapted according to your personal needs. This, not only in terms of goals but considering your current shape and weaknesses, as well as your previous injuries. Therefore, you will not only receive an ad hoc training plan but valuable advice about how to adapt it while traveling, answers to your doubts or equipment hacks. Working with Tina and Drew has been certainly an investment in my health and would recommend it to anyone aiming not only to improve body imbalances or strength, but the overall quality of life.

Diana

As a runner (mainly training for marathons) who considers herself strong in general, I hesitated prior to purchasing this program. But after receiving my initial set of exercises from Drew, I knew he had be figured out. Despite some physical strength, I had some weak areas that needed to be addressed. Now that I have been through 6+ weeks of training, I can truly say that I have ironed out a lot of that, and am continuing to grow stronger and stronger. I am looking forward to continuing to work closely with Drew for the foreseeable future and get even stronger.

Emily

This program is fantastic if you want to start building your (running) strength from the core and work on long term results. I am slowly, but very steadily building up my strength and I can see the progression not only in my body and running form, but also in my mindset and confidence! I started the training with a pre-existing abductor injury and Drew took that into consideration (along with my weaknesses) when he created my personal program. Very excited to continue the program long term to become a stronger runner!

Tina

The training program has been invaluable to my running goals. Half way through the plan we strengthen my leg imbalances to the point that I no longer have to tape my knee during my long runs. Also it has completely supported my running, my miliage has significantly increased and I’m not getting any overuse injuries and my legs are feeling fresh for each run.

Judith

I love my personalized strength training program! I plan to continue having personalized programs made for me because I really believe in this product. Also, the support in the Facebook group has been great. I can’t wait to see how much this helps me at my next marathon.

Nicole G

This program is extremely valuable! I have been running for over 13 years (about half of my life) and been strength training for nearly as long, so I’ve been around the block a few times when it comes to this . Tina and Drew have really put a great deal of time, thought, and energy into desinging this program, and they invest more in each individual athlete to ensure you are getting a program that suits your ability, experience, and goals. Plus, the program grows and adapts as you gain fitness, flexibility, and strength. I look forward to continuing to work with Tina and Drew with this program in the years ahead.

Who are you and why should I trust you?

Hi, I am Tina, the founder of Running for Real. With Drew’s help, I was able to run a 2:36 marathon, 1:13 half marathon, and represent my country in a world championship.

From when I met Drew to when I took a running hiatus, I had no major injuries (after years of being injury prone), this was no coincidence, nor were my PRs dropping from 2:45 to 2:36 in the marathon and 1:14:30 to 1:13:21 in the half marathon (which earned me my spot on the Great Britain and Northern Ireland team).

You can find out more about me and my story on this page.

Hi, my name is Drew and I’m dedicated to helping you move better, feel better, and perform better as a runner. I’ve worked with dozens of runners, just like you to reach PR’s they never thought possible, stay healthy after years of injuries, and feel better in every aspect of life. I love to help both athletes and non-athletes alike along a path toward optimal health and performance. Currently, I’m thrilled to be advising runners from all around the world to become stronger, faster, more efficient and more resilient.
