Duncan is back with part 2 of his 'Pilates for Runners' masterclass!
This session focuses predominantly on challenging our balance through strength work and by working unilaterally, as we do when we run.
You will need a resistance (stretch) band for this class. You may also wish to use a kettle bell or weight.

Duncan made a total career change in 2006 when he qualified as a Body Control Pilates teacher. He was previously a successful Fixed Income Broker in the City, having worked in the financial markets for over 20 years in London, Madrid and Luxembourg. After suffering years of back pain as a result of his office-based work, he felt the benefits of Pilates as soon as he started going to classes. As his interest grew, he became keen to progress further and learning to teach with Body Control Pilates became a natural, logical progression.
Duncan is a member of the Body Control Pilates matwork and small equipment teacher training team and has also become a ‘Level 4 Low Back Pain’ specialist through the Body Control Pilates Back4Good® programme. More recently, Duncan developed our very well-received ‘Pilates for Runners’ course. Duncan brings a very special mix of knowledge, experience and practicality to this course, having run in more than 30 marathons and half-marathons, qualifying each year for a GFA place in London marathon. He has also worked with GB duathletes (running/cycling) and England Half-Marathon athletes.
