The PTI Track and Field Academy places a special focus on helping young track and field athletes succeed in their chosen events. Our current studio was selected specifically with the Track and Field Academy in mind: a long runway, tall ceilings, and wide floor space makes it possible for us train events like hurdles and the high jump indoors, all year around. In addition, track athletes will especially appreciate that the entire floor area of PTI is covered with Mondo rubber; the same surface used on tracks in the Olympics for it's superior shock absorption.

Like all programs at PTI, the first step of the training process begins with performance evaluation and conditioning; given the rate of overuse and biomechanical injury in sports requiring repetitive motion, this step is a key component in helping young athletes stay healthy. From there we will build on a base of balanced strength with sports specific functional exercises, from which the athlete will then be physically prepared to master the technical aspects of their chosen events.

We can also create off season mileage programs for our clients who participate in running events. Slowly and steadily increasing your mileage (often called "building a base") is the best way to be fully prepared for the next cross country or track season without risking injury.
