How to combine functional running with resistance?
How to combine functional running with resistance?
Functional running in Canberra is HERE! So how to combine functional running with resistance? It is a question we get a lot and we have an exclusive solution and a new smart experience.
At Elements4Life we focus on better coaching and workout delivery with emphasis on functional training and movement optimisation and when it comes to running, runners deserve better training programs.
We get a lot of runners looking to build strength and endurance not only to improve their running performance however to help support against injuries and muscle fatigue.
This is where SmartTeam™ (Functional Training) and SmartRun™ (Functional Running) experiences are found to be the best training options for runners and anyone seeking high level fitness.
When combining weights and resistance into your running program it is best to approach the program specifically to avoid injury and unnecessary strain to the muscle lines. Also consider your current conditioning, overall fitness, age and training experience. It is a journey however we promise it gets better the more you do it.
All training takes a stage of adaption so make sure you understand your level of progression. There is no doubt that focusing on strength training via functional movement will enhance your running and fitness.
We recommend a special blend of interval training and functional movement with changes in speed and resistance. SmartRun™ is designed to enhance your progression whilst giving you a fun, engaging and stimulating experience.
We use Olympic standard treadmills and these are #1 in the world when it comes to a seamless Elements4Life Smart Experience.

What Our
Clients Say
‘Service’ defined as ‘the action of helping or doing work for someone’ - the service that Elements 4 Life provides goes beyond this. The coaches are genuine, their approach to training is exciting and progressive, you will be supported and challenged to be the best version of yourself – mind and body. Then there’s the amazing people, our E4L community, this is what makes the gym so unique to all the other gyms I’ve been a member of. 
Sab and Erin offer a personalised and uniquely supportive approach to fitness. Be it classes or personal training everyone, regardless of ability, is catered for. I have trained with them for over two years now and can not speak more highly of them. They have supported me through both injury and illness without a second thought. It is not just a gym, we're a community. 
Sab, Erin, and Joe are a great team who work hard to not only a gym but a thriving community. They also don't just get you to throw weights around the place but to think constructively about your training, own it and do the work whilst shaping lifestyle changes that last for the long term.
Elements4Life is different. It is not your bog standard gym. Here you will be challenged to become reflective, encouraged to join a community and become one with your health and well-being. Love this place and the best decision I made in 2019 was to become a member of E4L.
