Running Coaching in Portage

Smarter Coaching for Stronger, Injury-Free Running

At Pure Movement, we coach runners differently—because running well takes more than just logging miles. Our approach bridges the gap between biomechanics, strength training, and sports medicine, helping you build a resilient body that runs efficiently, recovers faster, and stays injury-free.

Whether you're new to running, bouncing back from injury, or chasing a new PR, our team combines research-backed strategies with individualized care to help you reach your goals.

What Makes Us Different:

  • Slow-Motion Gait Analysis to spot inefficiencies and hidden stress points

  • Running Form Retraining to improve mechanics and reduce injury risk

  • Custom Training Plans tailored to your goals, lifestyle, and race schedule

  • Strength & Injury Prevention Programs designed to support running longevity

  • In-Person or Virtual Coaching Options for flexible, expert guidance

  • Sports Medicine-Informed Approach with insight into injury recovery and performance

Built for Portage Runners Who Want More than a Generic Plan

Better movement leads to better running—and that starts with understanding your body. Every coaching relationship begins with a detailed evaluation to uncover limitations, inefficiencies, or past injuries that could be holding you back.

Your coaching process includes:

  • Comprehensive running and movement assessment

  • Goal setting based on race plans, experience, and injury history

  • Strength training built specifically for runners

  • Custom running plan with drills to improve form and efficiency

  • Ongoing feedback, check-ins, and expert support

Whether you're preparing for your first 5K, returning after an injury, or striving for your best marathon yet, we’ll guide you with a plan that's practical, progressive, and personalized to your needs.

Run Smarter. Train Stronger. Stay in the Game.
