News from our Official Health, Fitness and Wellness Partner, the Sports Science Institute of South Africa


Did you know? At SSISA we offer a running-specific strength-training programme called Running Strength.


About Running Strength:


Strength training for runners is essential due to the repetitive demand placed on the body when running.


Our running strength programme aims to reduce the risk of injury when running as well as improve performance through periodised and structured group strength and conditioning training. This results in runners being able to get faster over their particular distance and running discipline as well as keep running for longer.


When joining the Running Strength programme, you'll be introduced to the lead Biokineticist, Caitlin Miles, who will ease you into the group training environment. The programme consists of three sessions per week in the High Performance Centre at SSISA, all led by experienced Biokineticists.


Class information:


  • 3 x classes per week

  • +/- 15 people per class

  • Classes are always led by a team of Biokineticists

  • The Running Strength programme is periodised and structured

We begin by teaching you the core training principles and methods that arekey to writing the best training programmes. We then provide an applicable exercise physiology overview of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and how they respond to exercise training.

Next, we dive into the exciting and much talked about issues of lactate threshold, running economy, VO2 max, taper, altitude training, and how to evaluate an athlete.

We provide video demonstrations for: how to conduct a VO2 max test on a treadmill; nine resistance training exercises to benefit endurance runners as well as sample sets and repetitions to perform; specific quality run workouts; and an interview with renowned coach and sport scientist, Professor Andrew Bosch.

We provide nine sample run training programmes at the beginners, intermediate, and advanced levels for the 10-km, 21-km, and marathon distances.
