Premier Training International, in collaboration with Vivobarefoot, is next month launching a barefoot running coaching course, developed by world-renowned expert Lee Saxby.

The one-day course will be held at Premier’s venues across the UK, starting at their London Academy on 23 March.

Premier’s research and development manager Kesh Patel said: “Over the last decade, barefoot running has proven that it offers fastastic health and fitness benefits in terms of posture and technique.”

The health and fitness industry education provider is looking at the possibility of incorporating the course into its flagship Diploma in Fitness Instructing and Personal Training.
