I am a heavy volume runner. Always self taught and never had any coaching. Something about my running technique felt off and I felt I needed to get coaching before sustaining an injury. Spencer taught me the pose running method. It was night and day compared to my current technique. I felt like I was running lighter and faster. I plan to continue working with Spencer to further develop this running style. He was nice and professional.

Spencer is such a pro! Enlightened me on the causes of my running problems and limitations, and started me on a path to joyful running. By the end of the session (implementing subtle and not so subtle changes to my running form), running stared to feel a little like flying. And fun again.

Great clinic, straight forward instructions, shows examples and practicing drills!
Coming from a military’s Navy background I was skeptical at first from what I was taught that no pain is no gain! I learned a lot to get started to become a better more efficient faster runner and hopefully less prone to injuries. I was running with a glute and hamstring injury for the past 2 months and glad I took his course.
I look forward to joining his running club and practicing more of what I learned.
Thanks again- Spencer!

I used to run a lot and loved it, but I hurt my hip and stopped a few years back. When I heard about Spencer and the Pose method, I decided to give it a try and I’m really glad I did. I learned so much about how I had been running wrong and that is why I got hurt. Now I can run without hurting. Yay!

Spencer truly helped me get over the “punishment of running” story in my head. He guided me with joy, freedom and fun into rewiring that belief and rewriting what I want running to be for me now. I feel so much more curious running now and experimenting with the tools he taught me, rather than just feeling miserable, nervous and scared to run before. Looking forward to many more fun and creative techniques and positive motivation to enjoy this experience

Attended a run clinic by Spencer and it was a huge help! He shows you videos of your running before and after learning proper form, and equips you with drills to keep working on the form. Learning to run efficiently is a game changer - 100% recommend!

I was pretty new to running when I did a class with Spencer, maybe 9 months of dedicated running. My cadence, my form, my leg strength in terms of running with good form was all awful. I knew something was wrong just not what. After one class with him I dedicated my self to fix my form. Spencer is a wizzard. My cadence sky rocketed, my foot strike got better, my mobility got better and my injuries stopped. Thanks Spencer!

Great running clinic with Spencer. Super knowledgeable, supportive, and easy to learn from.

I walked away with practical knowledge I can actually use and already feel more confident in my running.

Highly recommend!

My experience with Free to Run coaching my running was a game changer. Not only did I get a thorough explanation, he gives you lots of demonstrations, drills, and videos of your running. I immediately felt the difference from my first session with Spencer. So excited to run more efficiently and prevent injuries.

Spencer's running class is a game changer! Very informative and he uses advanced technology to analyze and improve your running. Spencer reminds us all that running is fun and rejuvenating! Great class for all levels. I highly recommend it to anyone!

The Clinic Experience

A focused 2–3 hour session built to fix what’s actually holding your running back — not generic tips, real analysis and real coaching.

🎥

Video Analysis

See your own running form, frame by frame — and finally understand what’s been causing the pain, fatigue, or plateau.

🏃

Targeted Drills

Proven drills that correct inefficiencies in real time — most runners feel the difference within the first hour.

🤝

1-on-1 Coaching

Hands-on, personal attention — not a lecture, not a video, an actual coach watching your stride and adjusting it.

👥

Small Groups, By Design

Capped at just 6 people per clinic, so every runner gets real coaching — not a crowd.

Whether you’re brand new to running or chasing a marathon PR, it starts the same way: learning to run correctly.

Glute & Hamstring Injury 400m Pain-Free ✓

Gerald had run countless half marathons, but as he got older, running through pain stopped working. After learning Spencer’s mechanics, he ran a 400m at 6-minute mile pace completely pain-free.

I’m glad I took his course. I look forward to joining the running club and practicing more of what I learned.

Not enjoying running to its fullest Super enthusiastic runner ✓

When I told Annette about the running clinic, she was super interested because no one had ever shown her a correct way to run.

Now I’m a faster runner, I have no injuries, and I’m able to enjoy it more.
