Running Bootcamp

Bootcamp and Running

At We Run The City, we’ve seen how combining running with bootcamp exercises can take running performance to the next level. Running Bootcamp makes you stronger all-round, with a focus on core stability, strong ankles, legs and abdominal muscles.

Greater strength improves your coordination, stability and balance. It also means you’ll tire less quickly and have more energy during your runs.

You’ll notice the difference: faster short-distance runs, more comfortable long runs and the ability to keep going for longer!

What's Running Bootcamp?

Running Bootcamp combines strength and endurance training in the great outdoors. Under the guidance of an experienced bootcamp coach, every session features a fun mix of short, high-intensity cardio and strength exercises.

What makes bootcamp so much fun is that we use the natural environment as our gym. You’ll work with:

• Your own body weight – push-ups, squats, planks and lunges
• The natural surroundings – steps, benches, trees and more

These elements keep every Running Bootcamp session fresh and challenging, with new exercise variations regularly added to the programme.

With short recovery breaks between exercises, you’ll work your way through a circuit as a group. After around 60 minutes of intensive training, you’ll leave the park feeling energised and accomplished.

"The goal of bootcamp is to improve your endurance and strengthen your muscles in a fun, natural way. This will help improve your running performance."

Running Bootcamp is for everyone!

Bootcamp is for everyone, because you control the intensity!

Our Running Bootcamp sessions are available at low, medium and high intensity levels. Your coach sets a target number of reps (repetitions) for each exercise, but you decide what works for you. Too easy? Increase the number of reps. Too challenging? Simply scale it back.

The most important thing is to focus on good technique. This helps prevent injuries while keeping you motivated and progressing at your own pace. Before you know it, you’ll be getting fitter and stronger!

Robert (36): “It was time to improve my fitness. I have an office job, and I realised how poor my stamina had become when the lift was out of order and I had to take the stairs. Bootcamp has not only made me fitter, it has also changed my lifestyle. I now avoid escalators and lifts, leave the car at home more often and cycle instead.”
