My knee pain is significantly reduced!

I was ready to quit running prior to the Midfoot Project due to knee pain. I was a midfoot runner before I started but did the program just to make sure. The Midfoot Project really dialed it in for me. The daily exercises were brutal on my hips and legs for the first two weeks, then I noticed no more soreness and my knee pain is significantly reduced!

My form has improved heaps!

Between Midfoot Project and Kneed for Speed I now feel like my form has improved heaps! Between better form and a good running specific strength program I feel like I can keep enjoying this running hobby well into old age. Thanks so much Steve and Patrick!

I joined RunSmart and the rest is history!

This time last year I didn’t think I’d be running anymore having suffered a meniscus tear pre-lockdown and lost fitness. Having followed the Midfoot Project, today I was able to achieve my goal of running 21km on the 21st Sept to mark World Alzheimers Day and raise funds for Dementia NZ! Thanks RunSmart, I couldn’t have done it without you!

SCOTT ARROL

I'm excited to keep at it!

Since the Midfoot Project, I have seen significant reduction in soreness and pain in my left leg…been battling it for the past 5-6 years and it kept me from running consistently. I feel like I’m back to improving my form, consistency and overall running experience! Feels good and I’m excited to keep at it!
