Runners often need more than miles. Pilates can help build strength, control and awareness when recurring niggles or weakness are limiting training.

Questions people often ask
Can Pilates help running injuries?
It can help when the injury is linked with strength, control or load capacity, but it should be matched to the runner's specific problem.
Should runners do reformer or mat Pilates?
Both can help. The best choice depends on your goals, injury history and preferred training style.
