Run Your Best Race Yet

Whether you are a half-marathon veteran or looking to run your first 5k, Momentum is the place for you to work towards running your best race yet. Here at Momentum, we pride ourselves in making sure that you get the results that you have earned. We have experts that can help you make good decisions on your training regimen, nutrition plans, and shoe selection.

Injury Prevention

While injuries can always happen, there are steps that can be taken to decrease the chances that you will develop a problem. Runners who remain healthy throughout the course of their training generally incorporate strength training and flexibility routines into their fitness regimens. A consultation with Marla to identify your potential orthopedic deficiencies can help prevent nagging injuries from occurring.

In the event that an injury does occur, Momentum provides cost-effective solutions to return you to training quickly and efficiently. We utilize state-of-the-art treatments to get you back on the road to your fitness goals.  Working with athletes is our specialty, and we understand wanting to get through your race and training pain-free.

Shoe Selection

When it comes to running, it all starts from the bottom up, so proper shoe selection is a necessity. The staff at Momentum can provide a gait analysis and help you make a good choice of shoe selection for your foot type and activity level. Being properly supported from your feet up makes a huge difference in preventing injury and keeping you on the road. In addition to being a Brooks shoe dealer, Momentum offers a full line of long distance running orthotics and supports.

Training Plans

Since many of us aren’t the most “structurally correct” creatures, our training plans need to be adjusted to accommodate things like having poor foot biomechanics. With appropriate training, you will be able to avoid injury and stay on track with your fitness goals. Utilization of a gait analysis by Marla can identify areas of emphasis that might require more specific strengthening and/or stretching. By training efficiently and adding in different types of strength training, you will be able to improve your race times or potentially even complete a longer distance race than you ever thought possible.
