Philosophy:
At Five Elements Sports Coaching, Coach Erik believes in a holistic approach to running. It's not just about logging miles or chasing personal bests; it's about nurturing the mind, body, and spirit to achieve balance and harmony in every stride. By blending scientific training principles with intuitive coaching techniques, following the Norwegian training model (used by the Ingebrigtsen brothers and other top athletes) Coach Erik empowers runners to tap into their innate potential and embrace the joy of running.
This holistic approach does not only apply to running, but can be transferred to other sports, general fitness, and injury prevention. The beauty of the philosophy is both the simplicity and effectiveness of the core principles, which can be applied across different training programs using the right approach, expertise and understanding of what the client wants and needs.
