What If You Could Run Better, Faster, Lighter and More Effortlessly
In Just 3 Weeks.....by Changing the Way You Run?

Even if you think you've tried everything to break through that plateau and achieve a new PB!

Many serious runners understand the importance of the right training plan in crushing a sub-3hr marathon time or achieving that elusive PB.

But there's a big problem in the way most runner's approach running faster, longer, and harder.
Actually 3 Big Problems...
  • Terrible Toos​ - When most runners try to step up their game they fall into the trap of the terrible too's - 'too far, too fast, too soon'. That's the perfect way to never make it to the start line.
  • Doing More ​- So many runners focus on the wrong thing when they're chasing a new PB - they think that doing more is the answer. They don't realise that their cardiovascular system is not the limiting factor. 
  • Jogging - Most runners think they're running when in fact they're actually jogging! Yes...jogging!

How many of you can relate to one of these two scenarios?

  • I do all the workouts, complete all the reps and sets but still find myself hitting the same plateau in my running
OR
  • Every time I start to escalate my reps and run longer and harder, I end up out of action with an injury and I'm back to square one

If this is you, then I have good news!

There is a solution.

It's not about training harder and longer...

...it's actually all about form...

the right form

Tried it All?
You cranked up your weekly volume, you do the tempo runs, the intervals, the long runs and the threshold sets. 

On top of that you have your strength routine, you are eating healthy and diligently take your recovery shakes after the hard work. And still you can't break through your plateau...

You feel like others who are doing less, are catching up and you don't know where to find the extra 5%. It’s not like you have been slacking, so why are you not progressing? 

ANSWER: Because you focus on the wrong element of your training!

The Water Hose Problem
Think of your bringing out your best performance as a plumbing problem. Like a water hose that is clogged up and has several blockages that don’t allow the water to flow as rapidly and forcefully as it is capable of. If you turn on the faucet and you only see a little trickle of water running out, there must be a blockage somewhere, right? 

For emerging runners, that blockage is often the cardio-vascular system. They have not yet built the engine to allow the body to move at the desired pace. 

But this is hardly your problem. You cleared that blockage long ago by ramping up your weekly volume. So adding in another set is not helping the flow of water. 

It is also not your strength. If you are doing your strength work together with the running sets, your muscles are able to endure the pace (and the pain!). That too isn’t the blockage that is holding the flow of water back. 

Your blockage is your running economy. 
You have the engine, you have the power but you don’t have the efficiency of movement (yet). 

That is where the flow of water is impaired. It takes you too much energy to keep the body moving and the legs ticking over. It is like there is a leakage in the hose that drains some of the water before it reaches the tap. 

Let’s fix that problem!

Fix Your Plumbing
The answer to this running economy problem is simple but not easy: drills. In order for your body to start functioning like the smooth, fast and effortless running machine it is, you need to focus on how you move. 

Most runners, and even some of the elites, have a poor running economy. They lose too much energy with excess movements that hinder them from going faster. 

Doing easy, light drill work before your workouts can significantly enhance your speed in the workout. 

Which drills should I be doing? 

That is the million-dollar question! 

There are a host of running form enhancement drills for you to choose from. 

But which one will be the best one for you? 

Which drills unblock that final blockage in your water hose? 








Introducing
The Effortless Running Method

The Effortless Running Method is a revolutionary approach to running performance, based on observations of thousands of runners, and draws on insights gained from the best Kenyan runners.

This unique method has helped countless runners break through their plateau and eliminate injury, even when they believed that they'd tried everything.

The truth is that your cardiovascular fitness is not your limiting factor. Your form is.

And when you apply the secrets of the Effortless Running Method you'll find yourself finally breaking through that plateau without training harder and longer.

And the best part is, you will see results in just 3 short weeks!

Enter...

A power-packed three week training program that will teach you the essentials of the Effortless Running Method and short-cut the path to achieving an effortless running form!

Why Does This Work?

You have probably done some drills in the past but never followed a structured plan that includes the key drills for a smooth, effortless run before. Enter the Effortless Running Essentials program. A 3-week program to re-wire the running pattern you currently hold in your brain. Drills are great for re-training the body how to run more efficiently and therefore faster.
  
The Effortless Running Essentials program distills the key elements of an effortless running form from the East-african long distance runners and adds them into a structured, easy-to-follow, simple training plan that you can add into your weekly training plan. 

Take 10 to 15 minutes per session to work on running form before you start the set and before you know it, your old way of running will feel heavy and mechanical to you and the new way (thanks to the drills) will have your body moving like a gazelle, knocking seconds or even minutes off your time. 

There lies your 5%.

You won’t have encountered this type of training program before. A 3-week course to re-train the brain to run better. 

Probably the one thing on your mind that you did not think about is how to improve your performance. 

But the truth of the matter is that we all benefit from a better running form. Just like Ronaldo practices his basic passing skills, Kipchoge practices his running fundamentals. 

And the best thing is that you can incorporate it into your existing training plan so you don’t lose any fitness in the process.

Think of it as having your personal track trainer virtually by your side before every session. 

If you are doing everything you should be doing already, adding this 3-week program is going to get you the result you have been chasing all this time. Sign up today, and see what this slight change in your running routine can do for you. Unblock that final blockage.

What's Inside? 

WEEK 1  /  Re-train Your Brain!
Using the first progression of the Effortless Running method™ drills, you will challenge your body and brain to run differently again. This may feel awkward and in workshops, the feedback people use is that it feels weird but not wrong.
Remember that weird is good. You should be happy when it feels a little weird because that means you are doing something different. Note that there will be very little distance to cover in these three weeks as fatigue automatically drops you back to your old running form. We are using these drills and reps to override the running pattern stored in your brain at the moment.
What We'll Work On
+ Familiarizing yourself with the Effortless Running drills
+ Adding ‘weird’ into short running reps
+ Focussing on form first 
+ Introducing strength work for runners 

WEEK 2  /  Second Progression Drills and Pace
Week two of the Effortless Running Essentials plan, has a similar structure as week 1 but introduces you to the second progression of the Effortless Running method™ drills. The drills become more advanced and more specific to your new effortless running form. There will be very little distance to cover in this week as well, as you are still implementing a new running form. 

Because the Effortless Running Method targets the muscles instead of the joints, most runners experience some tightness in the calf muscles and hamstrings. It is important to let our bodies grow accustomed to this new way of running before we add volume (distance) back into the program.

What We'll Work On
+ Progression of Effortless Running drills
+ Adding pace into short running reps
+ Focus on form first
+ Focus on core body strength

WEEK 3  /  Correction of Common Running Form Errors
Week three of the Effortless Running Essentials plan adds drills to curb some of the most common running form mistakes. You have now built up a drill routine that will bring you a long way towards an effortless run. 

Adding the drills to your warm-up will ensure that you run much better in the set to follow. Many participants also remark that week three is the week where they notice that their new running form does not feel ‘weird’ anymore and that their old style of running now feels ‘clunky’.

What We'll Work On
+ Introduction of extra running form drills
+ Crowding out old style running
+ Lengthening the reps
+ Focus on maintaining form

Plus these new bonuses!

Here's what clients have to say...

"Thanks to the awesome coaching of Erik Böhm and his Effortless Running techniques tonight I managed to reach my target of a sub 25 minute 5 km, running 24 minutes 47 seconds and knocking 1 minute 52 seconds of my previous best 5 km time here in Asia and 1 minute 13 seconds off my all time PB set back in the UK!"

 -- Jason Hull --

Hey, I'm Coach Erik

From the time I sat around our dinner table with my family as a boy, discussing performance improvement across the myriad of sports I was involved with, I have been obsessed with how we optimize our performance.  From road to trail running and middle distance to ultra's, I have a love for both the science and art of running. As a talented athlete, certified coach, and former Sports Science teacher and coach I have trained thousands of athletes, all with their unique way of running.

What has fascinated me is how some athletes are so fluent and smooth while others are not.  What I noticed was that there is a major shift in competence in running when children go to middle school. Typically, children at a primary school level are quite good runners. Almost effortless. And when they reach the age of a middle-schooler (you know, those awkward in-between years), some continue to keep that effortless running pattern but, sadly, most don’t.

Running becomes a much harder task as the body grows bigger and as society asks you to study more and sit down for longer periods of time.

It is like many of us forget how to run as we grow up.

In fact, it is not like we forget, we actually forget how to run. Passionate about supporting people to enjoy running, I decided to use my analytical skills to define a method to bring ‘lost’ runners back to running properly, running effortlessly. 

For that, I turned to two groups who I know run exceptionally well: East-African runners and primary school children.  

I studied both groups, looked for commonalities and distilled the running forms both groups have into three key elements. 

And so was born the Effortless Running method™.  I hope you enjoy!

We decided to call it Effortless Running Essentials because we know there are so many of you out there drowning in books, training programs, and Youtube videos.

And you're sick of trying everything on your own, only to wind up either injured or banging your head against the same plateau.

We wanted to create something that cut to the chase and gave you the essential information that you need, all in one place, so that you can see results fast!

You don't need more sets, more reps, more work-outs.

You need the RIGHT INFORMATION and the right sets, reps and drills, so that you can see results FAST!

Be running better, stronger, faster, and more effortlessly in just three weeks!

"I always considered myself a good runner and trusted my run would do me well in triathlon. In the last couple of years, I lost some speed on the run and could not get it back again. With Erik’s help using video analysis, I was able to pick up on small errors in my running form that drained energy from my running. Now that I adopted the Effortless Running style, I feel stronger and faster again. I am now looking forward to breaking 35-minutes off the bike again. Very exciting! Thank you Erik Bohm. "

"While I am not a novice when it comes to running and the workouts to enhance one's running effectiveness, Erik's techniques and insights have given me a platform to move to the next level. I felt I was plateauing for quite some time and this has come to me at the right time. Thanks so much Erik! "

"I would like to say a big thank you for everything you have done for me over the last two months. My running technique has improved dramatically and my 5Km time has dropped by over a minute. All the workouts you send me are so enjoyable and you are so helpful when I have questions. 
You are an amazing runner and I really aspire to be like you one day!! If anyone is looking to improve their running I would definitely recommend Effortless Running.
 
Once again thanks for everything!!! "

More Client Raves

"Having completed an ironman, I wanted to refocus on technique versus just grinding endurance and as I knew Eric, I started with the Effortless Running Method. To be frank, the first 2 weeks were hard because I had to adapt to fix my running style and be more effortless. 
I was pleasantly surprised after a few weeks that I dropped my 10km time trial to 48 odd mins, a feat I have never accomplished before. I still went on with coaching by Eric and I just had an amazing Northface 25km race. Despite the hills, I was able to run relatively well all thanks to the effortless running technique and hills coaching by Eric.
I am a big fan and wholeheartedly support and recommend it!"

Frequently Asked Questions about Effortless Running Essentials
I'm just not made for running. Will this work for me?
Every body is perfectly designed to run! You're struggling with bad running form and your body is giving your feedback. Working through the Effortless Running Essentials, you'll find that your body will actually start to appreciate what it is that you're doing for it. Injuries disappear when you allow the body to run like it is meant to.
I've got a race in 5 weeks. Can I do it?
Yes you can make the change but fatigue and form don't go well together. So if you have an A-race coming up, you can still implement the Effortless Running Essentials but you will have to gradually phase it in. I've got a plan for that!
How quickly will I see results?
Changing your running form is an iterative process. You take a step back to move two steps forward. Most people struggle a little at the beginning but after two weeks they'll find that their old running form starts to feel clunky. That's when you know you're on the right track.
I'm not a pro athlete. I don't have all day to train. Can I still make it work?
Absolutely! We're all about time efficiency. For three weeks, substitute your regular training with the Effortless Running Essentials program to achieve the results. The tried and tested drill sequence will lead you through your running transformation in sessions of 30 minutes or less.
I have a permanent issue that I can't seem change. Is this still worth it for me?
Yes. No two bodies are the same and some of us have structural challenges. Although the Effortless Running Essentials program, if you have a highly specific problem you may want to consider a personalized video analysis of your running form.
