Feet hurt? Knees cracking? Back tight after every run?

You’re not broken. You’re just out of sync with the way your body was designed to move.
That’s exactly why I created Stride Strong—a 28-day, ground-up reset to restore natural strength, function, and resilience to your entire lower body, starting with your feet.
This isn’t just mobility. This isn’t just rehab. This is the missing foundation of your running.
🧠 Why Modern Runners Are Falling Apart
Today’s runners are doing what humans have done for millions of years—but in a body shaped by modern life.
We sit too much.
We wear shoes that act like casts.
We’ve lost the ability to feel the ground, control our feet, or absorb impact naturally.
The result? Pain, stiffness, breakdowns, and the endless cycle of shoes, treatment, and quick fixes.
Most runners think they need new shoes. What they really need is a new foundation. That’s what Stride Strong gives you.
💡 What Is Stride Strong?
Stride Strong is a 28-day performance and recovery system designed to:
Restore foot function and tissue quality
Improve ankle, knee, hip, and spinal mobility
Build muscular and fascial strength
Enhance tendon resilience
Rewire neuromuscular coordination
Each week is progressive, with a clear purpose:
🔹 Week 1 – Feet & Ankles
We restore connection, mobility, and strength at the base of your movement system. You’ll unlock sensations and muscles you didn’t know existed.
🔹 Week 2 – Knees
We layer in blood flow, range, and resilience around one of the most vulnerable joints in running. You’ll begin to feel your legs as a single, integrated chain.
🔹 Week 3 – Hips & Glutes
This is where real power lives. We’ll target the glutes and hamstrings, unload the knees, and build posterior chain function to support long-term athleticism.
🔹 Week 4 – Spine & Posture
Now that the lower body is working, we stack strength and control through your core, back, and postural system. Running is full-body—this connects it all.
🦶 Why It Starts with Your Feet
If you can’t control your big toe, how do you expect your glutes to work properly?
Your feet are
Your foundation
Your sensory system
Your first line of shock absorption
We’ve been conditioned to outsource that function to shoes. But that’s a temporary crutch. Real strength comes from within.

💬 Common Questions
“Can I still run while doing this?”
Yes! Just scale volume if needed. Think of this as rebuilding your system while maintaining momentum.
“What if I miss a day?”
No stress. Pick up where you left off. Stride Strong is self-paced, and progress is never lost.
“Is this just a foot program?”
Nope. It starts with the feet but builds up through the entire kinetic chain—ankles, knees, hips, and spine.
“Will I always have to do this?”
No. Stride Strong is an intensive reset. Once complete, you’ll only need to maintain the gains with a few key drills.
💥 Your Body Was Made for This
I know what it’s like to be in pain. Three knee reconstructions in four years taught me that the standard approach doesn’t work.
What does work? A systematic, ground-up approach to movement and strength that puts you back in control of your body.
That’s what Stride Strong delivers. And I’ll guide you every step of the way.
