My physio advised adding in some Pilates … and it has been the best money I’ve ever spent on anything running-related.
Liz gives clear instructions and makes it accessible for beginners like me (as well as giving plenty of progressions for when you are ready). Pilates for Runners has become part of my routine and I am so pleased I found it.

I’ve gone from an injury to getting back to half Ironman.
I can’t praise Liz highly enough. The sessions are great and easy to fit into a running schedule. It’s the best subscription I’ve had in a long time.

There are so many classes to choose from varying from 10 to 60 minutes, so it's always possible to fit something in.
I ran the London Marathon last weekend — my first one with a time of 4.19. I've been a subscriber for 18 months and have managed to remain injury-free. I absolutely put this all down to her.

Nothing else I’ve tried for my long-term hip issue has been as effective.
8 weeks into my Pilates for Runners subscription, my hip pain has improved, knee pain is subsiding, I’m limping less, and my weak side hip strength and stability are much better. The sessions are ample, varied and well-designed. The website is easy to use, and Liz is an excellent teacher.

You’ve heard that adding Pilates to your training can make you a better, stronger runner…
… WHETHER FROM FELLOW RUNNERS, ONLINE ARTICLES, OR EVEN YOUR PHYSIO
You’ve heard it can help reduce the risk of injury, provide balance to your training, reduce stress, and build resilience.
Perhaps you’ve taken a few classes online or at your local studio. But without a clear plan or guidance, understanding how and when to make Pilates a consistent part of your routine seems overwhelming, and frankly, not worth it.
How often should you do it and what kind of classes should you take?
Which particular exercises can help you reach your specific goals, or help ease those recurring niggles?
How on Earth will you find the time, given how busy you are?
What if you can’t even do the moves properly?
THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO IS INVEST YOUR TIME, MONEY AND ENERGY INTO SOMETHING, WITHOUT KNOWING IT’S GOING TO YIELD THE RESULTS YOU WANT.
But what if you had a clear plan for how to incorporate Pilates into your training in a way that works for YOU, whether that’s 10 minutes a day or 60 minutes a day? What if you had the guidance of a trusted Pilates expert who has been in your running shoes and the support of a community who loves running as much as you do?

In case we haven’t “run” into each other at a running show or on Instagram, I’m Liz Patient, a runner and certified Pilates Instructor
After suffering from a string of running-related injuries and niggles that were keeping me away from my beloved trails, I decided to adapt my Pilates practice specifically to rehab the injuries (and help prevent them in the future). Not only did I remain injury-free, but my form, speed and overall running performance improved.
I started sharing these exercises and sessions online during Covid and the response from fellow runners like you was amazing! To me Pilates has always been the perfect way to cross train with running, but I’d never found a program that was specifically created FOR runners, So I took it upon myself to create it! Pilates for Runners was born.
I was even more sure of using Pilates after experiencing a debilitating skiing accident in January 2022 that led to two knee operations and months of rehab. I relied a lot on Pilates to help me prehab and rehab from the accident and operations. I know for a fact that Pilates is what helped me get back into my running shoes quicker.
Whether you’re looking to improve your running or get back to it after an injury, I’d love to be your guide. I know that for runners like you and I, running is more than a workout. It’s truly a lifestyle, and I intend to help you keep it in your life for as long as possible.

KIND WORDS
You may be thinking…
CAN’T I FIND FREE PILATES WORKOUTS ONLINE OR TAKE A CLASS AT MY LOCAL GYM? WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT?
You can absolutely find loads of wonderful Pilates classes online or at your gym. But Pilates for Runners is one of the only Pilates programs in the world created specifically for runners.
PILATES FOR RUNNERS
➤ Created by a runner for runners
➤ More standing, lateral work (because we don’t run lying down!)
➤ Functional, multi-joint and standing core work proven to be more effective for athletes
➤ Structured programs and sessions that target common runner issues, such as tight hip flexors, calf niggles, etc.
➤ More dedicated workouts for the foot, calf, ankle, glutes, and hips, so you can target specific niggles and injuries
➤ Runner-specific breathing and form tips incorporated into classes that you an apply when you’re out running
➤ Single leg stability and control (which runners commonly struggle with) If you can improve the strength and control through our hips and legs, you can harness much more power to drive you forward as you run!
➤ Regular challenges to keep you motivated. As runners, we love a good training plan or challenge! Which is why I love hosting regular challenges to keep you motivated and help you create the habit.
OTHER PILATES CLASSES
➤ Created by Pilates experts, who are may or may not be runners
➤ Heavily focused on mat based work
➤ Core work involving a lot of static planks and crunches, which aren’t the best for runners
➤ Sessions aren’t typically tailored to specific runner challenges and problem areas
➤ General lower body workouts, without taking into account what runners really need for feet and calves
➤ General breathing tips
➤ Less standing work
➤ Challenges aren’t specifically tailored to runners, if they offer challenges at all.

“I find a little and often approach works for me and the extensive content on the website enables me to find sessions that suit my training and lifestyle.
I started doing Pilates for runners last year after struggling with yet another injury. Liz's sessions have helped me identify and target areas for improving strength and mobility and have contributed massively to finding some consistency in my training. Liz is always helpful and explains things in a way that makes sense to me and her sessions have become an important part of my training.”

CAN I CANCEL ANYTIME?
Yes! Whilst I hope you stay and enjoy all the amazing benefits of Pilates for Runners, you can cancel anytime (including in the trial period) via your "Dashboard" on the homepage, or via your "Account" on the app.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO DO SESSIONS?
Whenever!
One of the many benefits of Pilates is the fact it is low impact. It will only ever be advantageous to your running and won’t negatively impact your running regardless of when you do it.
The membership includes specific pre and post run sessions, but all of the sessions are suitable for both pre and post run, rest days or any other time which works best for you!
HOW MUCH TIME DO I NEED TO DEDICATE EACH WEEK?
I always recommend starting small at first and not overcommitting to begin with.
Creating the habit is the key to seeing results. Just 10 minutes, three times a week is all you need to start seeing and feeling the difference. Then build from there as you get more consistent.
HOW DOES THE MEMBERSHIP DIFFER FROM YOUR FREE RESOURCES?
My Instagram resources are great for one-off workouts and exercises, but if you really want to get consistent and make a difference, then the membership offers access to a complete library of hundreds of easy-to-access, step-by-step workout plans that are truly aligned with your specific running goals, for a more structured approach.
WILL THIS KEEP ME INJURY-FREE?
It’s so important to understand that there are many factors which feed into your risk of injury. Any program which promises complete injury prevention should be viewed with caution. However, there are steps we can take to manage our risk of injury and reduce that risk where possible. I’m not a medical professional and no program can guarantee that you will stay injury-free. What I can say is that many, many Pilates for Runners members (including myself) have experienced less common injuries and a faster recovery time. While I can recommend specific exercises, you should always consult your physio or medical provider if you have specific concerns or chronic injuries.
