Children are special! They learn fast and they enjoy their running if they know how! Not all children are natural movers. They develop at different growth rates and this can affect their movement & running ability. The Running School for Kids starts from the age of 6 to 16 and we make it fun!
Because it has to be fun!
We look at the way they move and the sport that they are involved in and we get them running more effectively and running a lot faster. We have a special running programme for kids, which takes into account their growth, their coordination, agility, size and ability.
The biggest thrill we get at The Running School is when we teach a young boy or girl to run! When you see them running effortlessly, efficiently and fast in just a few sessions, the joy on their faces when they realise how easy it is, the confidence they discover which was not there before, that makes what we do so worthwhile and so fulfilling!
The Running School for Kids starts from the age of 6 to 16 and we make it fun! Because it has to be fun! We look at the individual biomechanics ( the way they move) and the sport that the kids are involved in and we get them running more effectively and running a lot faster. We have a special running programme for kids, which takes into account their growth, their coordination and ability.
We can teach anyone how to run and how to run faster! Most young athletes run by instinct and although very natural, they can pick-up bad habits that stay with them through the rest of their sporting career.
More importantly if they can’t run correctly it stops them from improving and in many cases puts them off sport and fitness throughout their school years and beyond and stops them from fulfilling their potential.

Running For Kids is our children’s programme and involves two key elements:
- teaching them how to run correctly so that they are efficient and fast
- secondly to improve their body control by teaching them how to move with better coordination and balance.
With children, our aim is to provide a sound base of good movement and good running technique.

Regular sessions at the Running School have made a real difference to the fitness, speed and technique of our 2 boys. It was a great thing to do over the long summer holidays.

Thank you for the video of Ewen running - we were very pleased with his progress and I think he is too.
He ran in a cross country inter schools event today and came 39/95, which considering a lot of them were older and bigger we thought was very good - he certainly wouldn't have done that well before his lessons.
Thank you all for your help,

During the 2009/10 season Jack suffered a hamstring injury and went through a growth spurt on recovery. The result was a seemingly complete loss of pace. The Running School was recommended by a friend. Jack’s aim was simply to get back to his old ‘form’ but within the initial 6 sessions Jack had not only found his old pace but quite clearly improved well beyond it. Now Running School sessions are an integral part of Jack’s preparation for the start of a season or any important trials.
