          Sarah and Leah are Physiotherapists in Port Macquarie. They want to prevent injuries so you don’t have to come and see them! They have
          developed the Strength and Activation Program so you become a strong/resilient runner and reduce your chance of injury. They will also be
          stretching with you and providing information about common running injury prevention and/or treatment.

            We want you to get to the Port Macquarie Running Festival Start Line in the best shape (Mentally and Physically) you can be. We love
            running and we cant wait to run with you in March!

                   ** your choice of hills makes a
                   difference too. If you are new
                   to this then choose a less steep
                   hill. If you are a more seasoned
                   runner and have no niggles
                   then you can choose a steeper
                   incline. Choose wisely. There is
                   no right answer.
