Foot, Ankle, Knee and Hip Protocol
An introduction
Who am I? What is this? What is this not?
My name is Kyle.
I am a run coach, sports performance specialist and professional ultra-runner.
I’ve spent the last 18 years of my professional life working with endurance athletes to build training protocols to help them cover more ground while taking on less damage. Unlike the majority of run coaches, my background is rooted in sports performance and strength and conditioning both from an education standpoint as well as in hands on experience coaching . My training style is simple, to the point and highly directed at the needs of the athletes I work with. I’ve helped thousands of athletes get to finish lines, summits and endpoints of massive objectives around the world.
The majority of my work is working 1:1 with athletes to build highly personalized and wholistic training plans, integrating strength training, run and capacity work, prehab/rehab protocols and nutrition in order to optimize every session, every day, every week, every month that an athlete works with me. I recognize however, this is something not everyone has a need for. Some athletes have a current program or coach they love, for others coaching is too expensive.
That is why I have built this. My monthly release of my Foot, Ankle, Knee and Hip protocol is designed to be an accessory piece to an already existing training plan. It is built to address the most often neglected areas of work for runners and mountain athletes, emphasizing strength, stability, mobility and balance through the feet, ankles, knees and hips.
This plan is not designed to act as a standalone training program, however when done consistently, integrated in with your current training plan and followed progressively over time, you will absolutely be a more durable runner than if you had not.
The protocols are progressive and varying in content. Each month will have 3 weekly sessions to be repeated in 4 week cycles, with the next release (on the 1st of every month) progressing the previous cycle by including new movement patterns, different focus points and new stimuli. The program is built to be minimalistic in terms of equipment required to complete. You can run the entire protocol with nothing but a pair of dumbbells or kettlebells, a mini band and your own bodyweight. Each week will have 3 sessions fully programmed with video demonstrations of all movements and I will Q & A for all subscribed athletes on each months posts. Workouts will take 30-45 minutes.
Protocol 1.0 will launch here on April 1. It will be free, you simply need to be subscribed to my Substack. Future releases from May 1 on will be behind a small paywall with absolutely no commitment beyond the month(s) you subscribe for.
Spread the word, share the love, let’s grow together.
Onwards, Always.
