Stop guessing which exercises, drills, or cues actually matter

If running is a major part of your training right now, this workshop was built for you!

LED BY DR. VICTORIA LIU, Physical Therapist • Certified Run Coach • HYROX & Crossfit Athlete

The Bulletproof Runner Workshop is led by Dr. Victoria Liu, founder of Ironhorse Physical Therapy & Pilates and creator of the Bulletproof Runner framework.

Dr. Victoria brings a rare combination of clinical expertise, run coaching, strength training, and real-world endurance experience—making this workshop especially valuable for runners training for half marathons, marathons, and HYROX-style hybrid events.

Credentials & Experience:

Licensed Physical Therapist with 25+ years of clinical experience
Certified Run Coach
Certified Pilates Instructor
Certified Kettlebell Instructor
Founder of Ironhorse Physical Therapy & Pilates
Specializes in running injuries, hybrid athlete performance, and injury prevention

As an athlete herself, Dr. Victoria understands the demands of endurance and hybrid training firsthand. Her athletic background includes:

4 marathons
Countless half marathons
Multiple triathlons
Most recently, her first HYROX competition

She trains, competes, and manages load the same way her athletes do—bridging the gap between sports medicine, performance training, and real-world racing demands.

WHY THIS WORKSHOP IS A HIGH-VALUE OPTION FOR RUNNERS & HYROX ATHLETES

This level of expertise is typically delivered through one-on-one physical therapy, run coaching, or performance sessions, which are significantly more expensive.

The Bulletproof Runner Workshop allows runners and HYROX athletes to access Dr. Victoria’s depth of experience in a small-group setting, making it a high-value option for athletes who want expert guidance without committing to 1:1 services right away.

This workshop is ideal if you are:

Training for a half marathon or marathon
Preparing for a HYROX competition
Increasing running volume and intensity
Managing recurring aches, stiffness, or injuries
Looking to improve running efficiency under fatigue

Rather than guessing—or relying on generic online advice—you’ll learn what actually matters for staying healthy while running more.

🎯 WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER RUNNING WORKSHOPS

This is not a generic running clinic or form-fix session.

Instead, you’ll gain:

A clearer understanding of why running injuries happen
Insight into strength and mobility gaps common in endurance and HYROX athletes
How fatigue affects running mechanics in long races and hybrid events
How to distinguish normal training soreness from early warning signs
Smarter ways to train for performance without breaking down

The goal is clarity, durability, and confidence—not quick fixes.

It is an educational workshop led by a running physical therapist and coach.

➕ OPTIONAL ADD-ON: 3D RUN GAIT SNAPSHOT

For athletes who want individualized insight, an optional 20-minute RunEASY 3D gait snapshot is available for a separate fee.

Most runners don’t get injured because they’re unmotivated.

They get injured because:

Fatigue changes how they move
Small inefficiencies add up over miles
Speed work and volume increase without the right support
Training plans don’t account for how the body handles load (Runna often falls short)

By the time pain shows up, the problem has usually been there for weeks — or months.

How to Run Faster and Prevent Running Injuries

Many runners searching for ways to run faster or prevent running injuries are missing one key piece:

how their body moves under load and fatigue.

Running injuries often don’t come from doing too much (although sometimes it is). They come from:

inefficient movement patterns
poor load distribution through the hips, knees, and feet
lack of run-specific strength and mobility
fatigue altering running mechanics

What you'll learn

In the Bulletproof Runner Workshop, we break down:

how to improve running efficiency
which strength and mobility exercises actually matter for runners
when running gait should be addressed (and when it shouldn’t)
how to reduce injury risk during half marathon, marathon, and Hyrox training

This is a 90-minute practical workshop — be ready to move and be active.

We’ll cover:

Run-specific strength & mobility assessment
Run-specific corrective exercises
The 3 key exercises every runner should be doing
How to improve speed & performance safely
Run gait: should we change yours… or not?

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I run faster without getting injured?

Running faster requires more than increasing mileage or speed work. Improving strength, mobility, and movement efficiency — especially under fatigue — is key to improving performance while reducing injury risk.

Does running gait analysis help improve performance?

Running gait analysis can be helpful when done for the right reasons. In this workshop, we explain when gait changes are appropriate and when other factors matter more.

Is this workshop good for half marathon or marathon training?

Yes. This workshop is ideal for runners training for half marathons, marathons, or Hyrox events who want to improve performance and stay healthy during high-volume training.

Can physical therapy help prevent running injuries?

Sports physical therapy focused on movement quality, strength, and load management can significantly reduce the risk of running injuries and improve long-term performance.

This approach helps runners train smarter, improve performance, and stay healthy throughout
