Reviews

A fascinating book
*Adharanand Finn*

Heads up – here’s how to run like a pro.
*The Times*

After working with Shane, I noticed big improvements in my performance.
*Tom Evans, elite ultrarunner*

Explains in layman’s terms how to run efficiently by utilising elasticity: you can’t but help go out the door for your next run and try to put it all into practice
*Nicky Spinks, endurance runner*

Excellent
*Trail Running magazine*

Shane's approach to running movement really works. Shane helped me prepare for my fourth Marathon des Sables. I am convinced that the insight from these sessions was instrumental in me being able to run as well as I did and secure my second win in a highly competitive race.
*Elisabet Barnes, ultra-endurance Runner)*

Shane is the Indiana Jones of the running world
*Damian Hall, ultra marathon runner & journalist*
