UPCOMING EVENTS

The material you share with us in the masterclass is something new to me and I learned a lot from it. It feels like I have found the missing parts of my sport puzzled. Thank you so much Chloë for sharing your amazing knowledge and experience.

The masterclass on Maximising Posture for Greater Performance was great. It helped me understand my body aches & pain so much better, you answered all our questions with great details with examples of functional exercises. I also learned ton's about the human body!
Nikola Milijkov

Fantastic talk, I read tons about fatigue, physiology and performance but I learnt some new stuff and the structure and presentation was just off the chart!
Rafa Randelz
You have great communication skills and unbelievable knowledge!

Before taking Chloë’s clinics I almost never ran uphill thinking that I kept my energy better by walking. I didn't realize that doing Vertical sessions was the key to improving my physical fitness for the trail. Now I can run most of the climbs except the very steep ones. I'm running at a much faster pace and have better technique, plus I gained confidence. I saw the results in one month and after 3 months I took part in a 60km Trail with 3330D+ and I improved my time by 90 minutes!

The motivation both from Chloë and the participants kept me progressing each week. I achieved so much in these past months, thanks for your guidance. I also loved the guest speakers at the end of the camps. Thanks for the push, you are the best Chloë.

I feel faster and fitter from the Stride Virtual Camp. Challenging and fun, the group motivation even from distance, is really useful. After 3 weeks I had improved my average cadence by around 5 steps per minute which is huge for me. I am surprised by how much quicker I am moving. Chloë has a lot of experience to share. I've been coached in the past and we didn't really talk much on HOW to run faster and the importance of mechanics and so on.

The Trail Camps (I took many) exceeded my expectations by far. I definitely gained strength and speed. The run analysis was simply amazing, my running mechanics and efficiency definitely improved. The design of the workouts is fantastic. That being said, awesome ! Highly effective program, great one-on-one meetings, coaching, and the community is highly motivating. Thanks Chloë for all the work you put into this and the effort to pass-on quality information & training concepts.

The Chamonix camp was excellent and so much fun! I learned lots about building a routine, the importance of vertical work, adopting good habits, metrics for self evaluation, how to improve form, speed and endurance for the steeper terrain, great tips for quicker recovery … all extremely useful! Chloë is Superb to say the least!

We were treated to precious tips all weekend from running form, training drills and how to reach our goals. We got lots of individual time, she took into consideration our different fitness level, ongoing tips, with a very positive attitude, Chloë is gifted! The camp was in a beautiful setting.

Does pain mean injury?

November 18, 2022
Tissue tolerance is the foundation of the body’s ability to perform and protect itself from injury. The inefficiencies and movement dysfunctions can cause the tissue to work harder, burn more energy, and becomes weaker with time. Fatigue builds-up creates more stress, requires more effort and at times translate as pain.
