RuneStrong Sports PT & Performance

🏃‍♀️ Racing in North Kitsap this fall? We’ll see you at the finish line.

RuneStrong Sports PT & Performance will be at:

🍂 Poulsbo Half Marathon — Oct. 4
🎃 Spooky 10K — Oct. 31

After you cross the finish line, stop by the RuneStrong tent for some much-needed post-race recovery stretching, an injury screen, or just to talk running.

And make sure you enter our raffle — we’ll be giving away FREE Running Assessments at both races.

Run hard. Cross the line. Then come find us. 🏃‍♂️💨

We’ve really enjoyed having Mars spend some time with us at RuneStrong this summer.

When I asked about her biggest takeaways, two things stood out:

➡️ Progress isn’t always linear.

➡️ People are often capable of much more than they think they are.

Two pretty good lessons to carry into a career in healthcare—and life in general.

Thanks for spending part of your summer learning, asking great questions, and being part of RuneStrong, Mars.

Best of luck as you head back to Western for your senior year. We’re excited to see where the journey takes you!

81 years old.

And her goal isn’t simply to “stay active.”

She wants to get back to competitive pickleball.

So that’s what we’re training for.

Strength. Power. Balance. Confidence. And the ability to react and move when the game gets fast.

I love working with people who still have things they want to DO—whether that’s competing on the pickleball court, getting back on the trails, lifting weights, skiing, running, or simply keeping up with the grandkids.

Getting older may change how we train.

It doesn’t mean we stop training.

At RuneStrong Sports PT & Performance, I help active adults build the strength, capacity, and confidence to keep doing the things that make their lives fun.

Age may change the programming, but it doesn’t eliminate the goal. 🏓💪

Apparently changing the name of a beloved local grocery store is serious business. 😂

As someone who recently asked an entire community to start calling my business something new, I realized I probably shouldn’t throw stones.

So let’s settle this:

Team Town & Country?

OR

Central Market for life?

No judgment. No wrong answers.*

There’s nothing wrong with a stiff-leg deadlift.

In fact, it’s a great accessory movement when you want to emphasize the posterior chain.

But Mars had a different goal: lift more weight without her low back feeling smoked every time she deadlifted.

Her setup was essentially turning every conventional deadlift into a stiff-leg deadlift—with very little knee bend and the bar well in front of her body.

A couple of simple changes to her setup put her in a much better position to use her legs and keep the bar close.

The result?

💥 20 # added to her best deadlift
💥 Plenty more left in the tank
💥 No post-deadlift back pump

Sometimes you don’t need to get stronger to lift more weight.

You just need a better opportunity to use the strength you already have.
