Striders provides you an opportunity to take charge of your life and lead a better life. Being fitter and healthier is a rejuvenating experience, eliminating stress and bringing you the joy of living.



Running and Fitness

Running has several health benefits. It helps reduce breathing troubles like asthma by strengthening your cardiovascular system, builds up your stamina and reinforces muscle and bone joints. New studies reveal that running has greater benefits than walking. In addition, running provides much more than just physical fitness.


Why Run?

Running is no rocket science!

There are no age barriers – you can start running at any age.

You don’t require specialized equipment or gear, just a comfortable pair of running shoes.

You can run absolutely anywhere.


Beyond Running

Aside from the obvious health benefits of running, there are several other advantages of running:

  1. Boosts your self-confidence and provides a sense of achievement as it allows you to  constantly break self-created barriers
  2. Energizes and refreshes you; it’s more about how you feel than how you look
  3. Helps you discover and unleash your potential
  4. Gives you a sense of self-control and power, as whatever you want to achieve is within your power
  5. Great stress buster

Overall, running produces a refreshing lifestyle change; it helps you see the world in a new light.



WHY TRAIN WITH US?



REJUVENATING TRAINING SESSIONS

We usually train in groups outdoors, in natural surroundings. With a breath of fresh air, our training sessions are always lively and refreshing. The group training sessions create a sense of community and connect like-minded individuals from different backgrounds, bound by one passion.

The group format helps individuals form realistic goals, achieve their goals faster, motivate others, become inspired and instill a sense of discipline in their training. Our training sessions thus creates a relaxed atmosphere, not only helping the individuals focus on their goals but also acting as great stress busters.


SYSTEMATIC TRAINING METHODOLOGY

Our training involves a holistic approach, catering to all body types, ages, and health conditions. Our coaches are highly professional and skilled, and are committed to help every runner outdo their own records. The trainers are extremely passionate about their role and it shows in their training sessions.

In addition to being qualified trainers, Striders trainers follow an unwritten code of conduct to ensure that the training sessions are highly professional. Our coaches are not only skilled and proficient athletes, but they are also well groomed and trained for a high degree of professionalism.


NOT TRAINERS, BUT FRIENDS

Striders trainers are totally committed to their roles; they motivate you to aim higher and achieve your goals. They know the names, the training schedules and goals of each runner in their city. They are not only your trainers, but also your friends.

Striders trainers are easily approachable and accommodative; you can approach your trainer at any time with any problem that you are facing in the training program. Your trainer will help you overcome your problem and ensure that you are training to your maximum potential by constantly encouraging you.

HOW WE TRAIN?


1. TIME TRIALS

Time trials, involving runs of various distances, are conducted over specified intervals during the training to assess physical capacity and to analyze progress of training. Based on the results of Time Trials, individuals are promoted to the higher-level training group.

2. FITNESS LEVEL DETERMINATION

We follow a systematic and scientific approach to training. Any new joinee, looking for any level of training, regardless of their prior running experience goes through build-up stage, which is conducted to determine their fitness level. We also conduct Time Trials to determine their fitness level, physical condition, stamina level, etc.

3. RUNNING HISTORY AND HEALTH

Following this, we conduct a brief discussion with the individual about their personal health, experience in running, etc.

4. CATEGORIZE INTO APPROPRIATE GROUP

Based on the fitness level and the Time Trial results, we categorize a new joinee into groups – White, Yellow, Red, Blue and Black, with Black being the most advance group, training for full and ultra marathons.

5. DETERMINE WORKOUTS BASED ON GROUPS

Just as every runner requires a specific type of running shoes, we understand that each runner requires a specific training according to their fitness level. We hold weekly meetings to decide workouts specific and appropriate to each group. These workouts are then circulated to the trainers and executed.
