The Morgan Method

Kylie is an excellent coach and very very knowledgeable!

One of the most passionate, personable and evidenced based exercise professionals around!

While I didn't accomplish the marathon goal I had originally set out to accomplish due to an injury, it was because of the Run Stronger program that I was even able to run the Vancouver Half Marathon 6 weeks later. The foundation was laid, and while I still had a lingering injury, it was my time doing the RunStrong program I could physically complete the half even when mentally I worried if I'd be able to finish it at all. Not only that, I developed so much more confidence in the gym and now know where my weaknesses lie to ensure that I can rehab this injury properly and get back to running strong and tackling my marathon goal in 2024.

As a runner who has avoided strength training for years, some ongoing lower leg injuries finally made me consider it. The only issue was that I've always felt intimidated by it and had no idea where to start, so I'm SO glad I found The Morgan Method. Kylie has developed a program that is accessible to those who have never done strength training seriously before, and I really appreciate that. Not only did the program help me avoid injuries and get stronger, but it also improved my confidence as an athlete. I recently completed my first six month program (which helped me to complete my second full marathon!) and I'll definitely be signing up again!

Kylie has created an excellent strength and conditioning program for runners. As somebody that has been trying to run more these past few years, I'll admit much of my training completely lacked any strength component. I hadn't lifted since 2008, and I really didn't feel like doing it, so I just ran instead. My injury track record from 2015 to 2020 absolutely reflected that.After struggling with some ongoing issues with my achilles, I decided to give The Morgan Method a try. Naturally it was quite difficult, not having done lifts since I was a teenager. But the video tutorials were quite helpful, as was the ability to log and track progress/metrics in an organized way through the app. In addition, Kylie was really great at quickly responding to any questions and also explaining the various mechanics at play during a workout or movement.I did the first month and a half without any weights, and just resistance cords. Most of the workouts could be done this way, but most of my progress occurred once I started using a set of adjustable dumbells. For someone with less space and little equipment, I found the exercises were very flexible and modifiable in case I didn't have a particular equipment piece. Mostly, I appreciated having structure and a layered plan, instead of just aimlessly pumping weights without a goal or specific purpose in mind. There's also conditioning, and stretch/yoga workouts as well; both of which are incredibly helpful for maintaining the ability to run injury-free.Like anything else, there's a bit of a time committment. On average, the strength workouts take me 80-90min since I am a bit slower and need more rest between sets. But really this is a small price for being a well-functioning runner. And that's how I would describe having benefitted from this program. For context, I haven't had any further issues with my achilles since January, and that's without having to stop running to rehab. It's the difference between being able to walk normally the evening following a long run versus not being out of action for the next three days.I would highly recommend The Morgan Method to anyone looking to make their running training more well-rounded. I would also recommend it for anyone who like myself, has not done weights or lifts in many years.

I have enjoyed the Run Strong Program so much the last 6 months. In fact, I have already signed up for another 6 month. The workouts are laid out well and are easy to follow, and the build up is nice and gradual. The fact that there is demo videos for every exercise is helpful also, as I would consider myself quite a gym novice and the visuals are great. Kylie is great too, and has been willing to answer any of my questions and provide tips when needed. I love that this program taught me how to fit strength training into my running routine, and I can't wait to see further progression in the next 6 months.

Great program! Excellent instruction and feedback.
