DOSE Run Programs & Courses

DOSE Run Programs & Courses

Cohort Courses, such as our signature series ‘Running Reimagined 5, 10, 21.1km’ commence on a set date, meaning you’ll move through each week with a community of runners and coach support. Other perks include 12 week access to the on-demand Movement Library and a Movement Kit, making cohort courses the ultimate package.

 

DOSE Run Programs are available to commence at any time, suiting those who want to start immediately or time their training exactly 12 weeks out from an event. The DOSE Run programs don’t come with coach or community support, but do cut the chaos, taking the mental load away from you so you can focus on your running, career, family and social life. Suited to the more independent runner, these programs come at a discounted rate. For a more holistic experience you can add-on a Movement Library Subscription with a Movement Kit.

 

Both options include bonus course material (downloadable pdfs) that align with your running program and 6-month access to your run course material.

*Cohort Course Movement Library access is included for 12 weeks.

Not to worry, we know life happens! You’ll have access to your run program and it’s supporting course material for 6 months.

Yes, the DOSE experience is a journey not merely a destination. We suspect that with your newfound strength & confidence you might find yourself re-assessing and be tempted to participate in a fun run or virtual run. Either way you can tackle the goal distance yourself or simply celebrate the progress you’ve made and the lifestyle you’ve adapted to.

No, we recommend addressing your injury with the appropriate expert such as a Physiotherapist before commencing a program or course. 

Yes. If you’ve been cleared to resume running then you are welcome to join. We recommend you increase the running load gradually (i.e. don’t just jump into the same amount of running as you were doing when you got injured). Even for the most naturally gifted runner, the risk of injury increases dramatically when the load (volume, intensity, distance, frequency) is increased too quickly. 

A sports watch with GPS and a heart rate monitor is recommended, however our programs are designed so that you can simply use a watch with a timer. 

If you’re doing a cohort program, you will be supplied with a Movement Kit which includes all your Pilates props. A exercise/yoga mat is recommended.

We sometimes utilise commonly owned items such as foam rollers, a chair, stairs, or a wall.

Absolutely, when designing this course they were two of our biggest priorities. Once your program or course commences, new content is released each week.

FAQ DOSE Movement Library

Yes, Coach Scarlett is a qualified Pilates Instructor and guides you through each exercise and workout, including ways to assist or challenge you depending on your ability. The Movement Kit is packed full of tools that can support, assist or challenge movement to help you get the most out of it.

Pilates for runners addresses the specific needs of the runner, including single leg strength and stability, maintaining, or enhancing mobility in the hips and spine, tapping into and training elastic recoil (responsible for up to 50% of the propulsive force in every step) are just a few examples. It may or may not be a surprise to you to know that hanging out in deep hamstring stretches isn’t necessarily beneficial for a runner, in fact leg stiffness can be an advantage.

Typically runners love running and happily avoid all the ‘other stuff’ or simply just don’t know what to do or when to do it. Our Movement Library is designed to reduce your risk of running related injuries, enhance your technique, performance and help you move with a greater sense of ease and comfort.
