Set for the long run

Jake’s year was mapped out: a high-altitude camp in Kenya, a sub-3:15 marathon, daily training. Then came knee pain, and the risk of everything slipping away. With a Bodyset RunFit Assessment and a plan built around him, Jake got clarity, confidence, and a way forward. He’s not just running again. He’s flying.

Jake works in marketing by day and runs in every spare minute. But a nagging knee issue was making training harder, and risked sidelining him before his biggest goals yet.

“In 2024, I’ve got some huge goals. A two-week running camp in Kenya. The Manchester Marathon. I’m aiming for sub-3:15. But I knew I wouldn’t get there if I wasn’t running properly.”

Jake booked a RunFit Assessment at Bodyset, where his physio analysed his gait, mechanics, and loading patterns.

“They identified that I had really weak hips, and that was putting pressure on my knees. I wouldn’t have figured that out on my own.”

His new plan focused on hip and glute strengthening, improving his movement and building injury resilience.

“It’s worked wonders. I’ve been able to keep up with my training, run pain-free, and I feel so much more confident in my stride.”

And the emotional impact?

“When I couldn’t run, it was the worst feeling. Finding Bodyset changed everything. I felt back to normal, and happy.”

Would Jake recommend it?

“Absolutely. It’s so hard to figure this stuff out on your own. Stop guessing and go see an expert. It saves you time and keeps you doing what you love.”
