  • Running Buddy Subscription (Annual)

    This annual subscription grants you unlimited access to every Running Buddy programme that has been created. As more programmes are created you will be granted access at no additional cost. Currently programmes include; Starting Line - This is ideal if you are new to strength training. Every workout can be done at home without equipment. If you have some experience and are comfortable using weights you can easily add them to this programme. Starting line is designed to be a 12 - 18 week programme. There are 3 levels and spending 4 - 6 weeks at each level is recommended. Loading Up - This programme builds on Starting Line by introducing basic equipment. More advanced plyometric exercises are introduced and the intensity of the strength exercises are increased. Gym Base - This programme is intended for runners who have experience in strength training and have access to a gym. It is best suited to the off-season from races, or the earlier stages of a training plan when base mileage is being built up. Micro Workouts - Short workouts that are paired up with your runs. 5 different options to cover essential movements and muscle groups. Mobility Routines - There are currently two mobility routines that target key joints and muscles and last 10 minutes on the app. These can be pre gym or run, or they can be standalone sessions. Stretch it Out - This routine caters to anybody who likes to include static stretching in their training. Major muscle groups and joints are covered with clear guidelines about technique and duration of each stretch. Pre Run Routines - These are 5 minute routines that are perfect to perform before starting a run.

About Patrick

My name is Patrick Carroll and I have developed Running Buddy to ensure every runner has access to high quality strength and conditioning advice and programming. I believe that most runners know they should be training outside of their running but in many cases they are unsure what to do. Running Buddy aims to solve this problem. 

My formal education includes a BSc in Sport & Exercise Sciences and an MSc in Physiotherapy. I have worked with people for over a decade to help improve their health and for the last eight years I have worked primarily as a chartered musculoskeletal physiotherapist while also providing individualised strength and conditioning plans for runners. A strong scientific background and practical experience of working with injured and healthy runners allows me to create resources that optimise runners’ health and performance. 

I would class myself as a competitive recreational runner. I love running and I enjoy the challenge of designing training programmes to try and get better. I know that these values are shared by countless other runners and I hope to be able to help as many people as possible with Running Buddy.
