Attention Runners: Stop Putting Up With Frustrating Injuries — For Good!
Discover How You Can Run ANY Mileage You Want, At ANY Age, Without Pain Or Injury!
If you’ve ever wanted to run confidently without pain and injury weighing you down, then this will be the most important message you read this year.
I’m going to show you how to overcome running injuries for good AND how to prevent running injuries without needing to spend hours scouring the internet…
…or worse, spending valuable time on ineffective exercises that leave you tired and fail to solve the CAUSE of your injury.
After working with hundreds of runners, I get it…
Anything that doesn't involve you actually running needs to be effective and worth the time you're spending away from running, because you really just want to RUN!
That’s where I can help. Time and time again, I’ve seen runners sidelined by injuries for weeks, months, or even years.
I’ve witnessed firsthand how NOT running affects the lives of runners.
AND, since 79% of runners get injured every year...I just had to do something about it!
In fact, I want to tell you a story about Norry.
Norry is a lifelong distance runner who had been struggling with years of what he thought was “piriformis syndrome.”
He had tried anything and everything to get rid of his pain: stretching, foam rolling, and even Chi running.
The result…? The same old piriformis pain which kept him from what he really wanted…
Norry is a competitive guy — he regularly competes in a yearlong masters race series, and he had even finished in second place before. But he wanted to WIN his age group, and his injuries prevented him from cracking the top spot.
…He simply wasn’t able to train hard enough due to the pain.
Norry couldn’t figure out WHY his piriformis pain wasn’t going away...until he reached out to me and my team. We set Norry up with a running analysis, and that's when he discovered something shocking…
He had been treating the WRONG problem for years! (No wonder nothing was working!!)
So, what was the problem? What was causing his buttocks pain, AND what did Norry do to solve it? Norry set out on his journey to understand the true issues causing his pain, and find the ultimate solution to solving it...
And that's really the key: in order to find the ultimate cause, you have to ask the right questions to determine the best approach.
Over the last decade, I've worked with over hundreds of runners to overcome their injuries and get back to running with joy and confidence. And that's when I realized...
Why Not Make The Ability To Overcome And Prevent Running Injuries Available To Runners Everywhere?!
So, I set out to combine all the best research on running mechanics and injury prevention with over 3 terabytes of running data from over 800 runners at my running lab.
The result?
A single SOLUTION that makes overcoming and preventing running injuries streamlined and easy to follow.
I want you to have ALL the proven techniques that’ll allow you to run injury free at ANY age when you invest in:
The Running Blueprint will enable any runner to run pain-free without needing endless medical appointments or having to cut runs short.
It will make you a stronger, healthier, and more resilient runner so you can continue to pursue the best version of yourself mile after mile.

Sounds great, right?
Don’t just take my word for it, though. Here’s what runners from all around the world are saying about The Running Blueprint Program…
"With Kevin's help, I had much stronger glutes and core, and was able to land more softly while running and with more knee bend - which were the two key areas we were trying to address for better shock absorption in my shin. And I'm still improving and able to increase my running miles without negative consequences. For me, this has been amazing and this year I've finally been able to really 'train' for my races as opposed to just doing the bare minimum to get by (or not racing at all)."
- Debbie, Runner
So What’s The Big Secret To The Success Of The Running Blueprint Program?
Avoiding or overcoming injury with running is NOT about new shoes, orthotics, compression socks, or foam rolling. These "temporary" fixes might address the symptoms of your issue, but they fail to address the cause.
The Root Cause Of 90% Of Running Injuries Is Weakness, Poor Mechanics, Faulty Shock Absorption, And The Absence Of A Training Plan.
Running MORE miles won’t solve these problems. Shoes, devices, and REST won't even come close to correcting these limitations.
And, the more runners that get injured, the more articles, blogs, and training plans are created. And yet...
Runners continue to get injured.
Overcoming running injuries is NOT about doing MORE. It’s about doing and running BETTER….smarter.
That’s the issue though...
There is a glaring PROBLEM in most running programs. It’s a massive oversight that robs runners of success, and robs you of time spent running without the OUTCOME you want...
To overcome and prevent running injuries, you have to alter how you see running itself. It’s not just a thing you do, but a SKILL you develop.
So, how do you develop this skill?
To become an efficient runner, you need to develop a foundation in muscle activation, strength, dynamic alignment control, and power.
Most other programs choose exercises at random or become too focused on ONE aspect of running and fail to teach running systematically.
Invariably, the exercises are either too easy or too hard, and runners like yourself give up without any results.
Think about it this way: you can't start marathon training with 18-mile runs...you need to start with base mileage to build a foundation first.
In the same way, you can't start a running program without "base exercises" to prime your brain for a more advanced running skill set.
No matter what sport you play, athletes need a solid foundation and deliberate practice to improve and hone their abilities.
The Running Blueprint Uses The Science Of Deliberate Practice, Motor Learning, Strength Training, And Biomechanics To Create A SYSTEM For Successful Running.
The Running Blueprint looks at running in a whole new way: it’s about building your running SKILL. It’s about building a better runner and unlocking your full running potential by combining research, skill practice, and running training into one program.
You don't need to waste time trying to put together your own running program — we've done the legwork for you!

"This program radically changed my running biomechanics so I could run pain-free after 9 knee surgeries (including 2 ACL reconstructions). Recently, I completed my first IronMan. 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26.2 mile run. At age 57! My knees were fine all the way through a year of training and the race itself. Thank you!"
- Steve, Ironman triathlete
Which reminds me — I didn’t tell you how Norry’s story ended!
Norry’s running analysis revealed that his “piriformis pain” was actually a problem with poor gluteal activation. As a result, the alignment of his pelvis, hip, and knee were compromised, causing that small piriformis muscle to work too hard.
This came as a shock to Norry, as he had been “doing bridges” for years trying to work his glutes. But that was the issue: he was doing the right exercises in the WRONG way.
Although the news was surprising, it opened the floodgates to genuine HOPE that his running could improve and that his buttocks pain could truly go away for good. That was all Norry needed to hit the ground running with The Running Blueprint Program.
At first, Norry was skeptical that he could improve his running form, or even overcome his long-standing injury, but he quickly noticed a reduction in his pain AND faster running speeds…
….In the first few weeks of the program!
By finding the root CAUSE of his injury and following a research-backed, PROVEN system for learning running mechanics…
Norry was able to completely resolve his buttocks pain AND he finished #1 in his race series!
I’ll let him tell you in his own words…
There are many runners who spend $5,000 or more trying to figure out the causes and solutions for the running injuries with MRI’s, doctor’s visits, new shoes, orthotics, tape, massage…
You can buy plenty of products that range between $97 and $297, but you’ll still end up frustrated with the lack of results.
…Not to mention the countless hours of time wasted banging your head against the wall.
Believe me, I’ve worked with runners who’ve tried it all!
But I’m not going to charge you anywhere near $5,000 for The Running Blueprint.
You can get everything you need to overcome and prevent running injuries in a yearlong step-by-step program (plus expert coaching) for the low price of $997.
You see, $997 is a drop in the bucket compared to the money (and time!!) you’re going to waste on ineffective treatments, tests, and gear.
Why not invest that money in becoming a stronger, healthier, and more resilient runner with the assurance of a proven system so you can run with confidence for the rest of your life?
Plus, wouldn’t it be great to save countless hours of frustration trying to track down a solution to your injuries? That’s valuable time that you could be spending running!
So, what’s the catch? Why am I practically giving this resource away?
Well, it’s really quite simple: I want to give everyone, including you, the ability to overcome injury and run strong.
I’ve seen firsthand the incredible value running has for people’s lives, and I want as many runners as possible to confidently run their best at any age.
