Critics Review
-
A fascinating book
Adharanand Finn -
Heads up – here’s how to run like a pro.
The Times -
After working with Shane, I noticed big improvements in my performance.
Tom Evans, elite ultrarunner -
Explains in layman’s terms how to run efficiently by utilising elasticity: you can’t but help go out the door for your next run and try to put it all into practice
Nicky Spinks, endurance runner -
Excellent
Trail Running magazine -
Shane’s approach to running movement really works. Shane helped me prepare for my fourth Marathon des Sables. I am convinced that the insight from these sessions was instrumental in me being able to run as well as I did and secure my second win in a highly competitive race.
Elisabet Barnes, ultra-endurance Runner)
