How 1stMarathon adapts your workouts to your body — your movement profile, running form type, and how they shape every exercise you're prescribed.
You can generate force, but you can't access the positions where it's most useful. This profile focuses on opening up range of motion so your strength actually transfers to running.
If you're new to strength training or returning after a long break, this profile explains how your plan starts simple and builds gradually — no rushing, no overwhelm.
You're strong enough — maybe too strong. This profile is for runners who hold excess tension, grip too hard, and can't relax between efforts. Your plan focuses on flow and efficiency.
You have the range of motion — you just can't control it. This profile focuses on building the motor control and stability your body needs to use its mobility safely.
Your body profile and running form type work together to shape every workout. Here's how the system reads your body and builds a plan that fits.
You go up and down more than forward — your head bobs and runs feel effortful even at easy pace. Your drills redirect that energy horizontally through posture, arm mechanics, and elastic control.
You start strong but fall apart as the run goes on — posture collapses, cadence drops, arms flail. The Fader isn't a standalone type; it modifies whichever running form group you belong to.
No dominant gait issue — your form is reasonably balanced. Your drill program builds general competence and running economy rather than fixing a specific fault.
Your stride feels restricted even when you try to open up. Your drills focus on unlocking hip drive and building the powerful push-off that turns baby steps into real strides.
Heavy, loud ground contact — each step absorbs impact instead of propelling forward. Your drills focus on lighter, quicker turnover and better foot placement.
You sway side to side, hips drop on the stance leg, and uneven ground feels sketchy. Your drills build the single-leg control and lateral stability that running demands.
