Running Clinic
Running clinic
The running clinic, led by Jonathan Codling, aims to progress all runners not only in the form of speed and personal bests but, to improve each runner to become more resilient to injuries. Jonathan’s aim is to help educate and reduce the risk of injury in each runner whilst helping them progress towards their running goals.
Jonathan is an experienced physiotherapist with a background in elite sport and strength and conditioning. He has worked with runners of all abilities from beginners on their first venture towards a 5km to elite track and marathon runners.
Jonathan played hockey to international level and therefore prefers the shorter distances, with a 5km personal best of 16:24. Now enjoying retirement from elite sport and rehabilitating a few long term injuries, a personal best attempt in the marathon is looming. Having personally experienced many common running injuries, he understands the struggles of staying injury free, maintaining training loads and peaking for events or races.
