Injured 8 Weeks Out? You Can Still Make Your Start Line.

Most runners over 40 are told to rest six weeks and hope. I do the opposite: find the real cause, adjust your load week by week, and get you to race day running. French physiotherapist, 15 years in clinic.

Founding price: $149 instead of $350 — first runners only · 30-min video assessment · written plan within 48 h · 100% credited toward coaching

  1. 30-minute 1-on-1 video assessment

Targeted questions and guided self-tests to pinpoint what is actually driving your pain — not just where it hurts. You get a straight verdict on your race: realistic, at risk, or not this time.

  1. Written 2-week action plan — within 48 hours

Which runs to keep, which to change, which exercises and at what dose — integrated into your existing plan. If it's a medical case, I tell you straight and refer you to the right person.

  1. Stride video analysis — before the call

You send a video of your stride and your training log. I review both before we speak, so the 30 minutes go to answers, not history.

The Old Advice

“Just rest six weeks” is why your pain keeps coming back.

Rest doesn't fix the cause.

You've heard it from a doctor, a friend, a forum: stop running, wait, restart. For a runner over 40 it fails for a simple reason — your tendons and muscles lose the exact capacity they need, and the same pain shows up the day you rebuild mileage. Recovery isn't about stopping. It's about dosing: the right load, at the right moment, while you keep moving toward your race. That's what I build for you — a plan that works with your marathon schedule, not against it.

Our Method

Three steps between your injury and your start line.

1. Find the real problem

2. Adjust, don't stop

3. Adapt until race day

You send me a video of your stride and your training history before we even talk. On our call, targeted questions and guided tests pinpoint what's actually driving your pain — not just where it hurts.

I rebuild your week: the right exercises, the right running dose, integrated into your existing plan. You keep training. Your body gets what it needs to recover — because it's the load that heals, not the couch.

Bodies don't follow plans in a straight line. We track how yours responds and adjust week by week, so that every week you're closer to your start line — not guessing whether you'll make it.

Meet Your Coach

A French physio in your corner, week after week.

I'm Cédric — a state-registered French physiotherapist and osteopath with 15 years of clinical practice. I own and run two clinics in Toulouse, where I treat runners every week. I'm also a masters runner training for my own marathon, so I know exactly what's at stake when a race you've trained months for starts slipping away. Injured runners don't need more exercises. They need someone who understands load, in their corner, until the start line.

Before you book

Can you really assess a running injury over video?

For the large majority of running injuries, yes. Your history, your stride on video and guided self-tests give me what I need to identify the driver and dose your load. When I can't — when it needs hands or imaging — I say so and refer you out.

What happens after the assessment?

You get a written 2-week plan within 48 hours. Many runners are fine from there. If you want week-by-week coaching until your race, the 12-week Race Ready program exists, and your $350 assessment (full value, not just what you paid) is credited toward it. No pressure either way.

My race is in 4 weeks. Is it too late?

Sometimes. That's exactly what the assessment answers honestly. If it's realistic, we build the shortest safe path. If it isn't, I tell you and we look at the next race instead of wasting your money.

Do I need to stop running before the call?

No. Keep doing what you're doing and note your pain (0–10) on each run. That information is useful on the call.

Is this medical care?

No. This is a coaching service delivered remotely. It doesn't replace a diagnosis by your doctor — and if you need one, I'll tell you.

If I can't help you, I'll tell you on the call — and refund you.

The Straight-Answer Guarantee: if in the first 10 minutes it's clear your injury is a medical case — imaging, surgery, a timeline no coaching can fix — I stop the assessment, tell you straight, refer you to the right professional, and refund the $149 in full. Otherwise: 30 minutes, a straight answer, and a plan for this week.
