My name is Jaco Ebertsohn.
I am an Biokineticist and running coach from Bloemfontein, South Africa. I have my own practice where I do rehabilitation of orthopaedic injuries as well as strength and conditioning of athletes.
I have been in the running circles for the past 26 years and love competing in endurance events. The Comrades ultra-marathon is my favourite event, but also enjoy marathons and Triathlons.
Running is my passion, runners are my people.
I believe in Specific adaptation to impose demand. Slow increase in volume to give your body time to adapt and to decrease chances of injury. I also belief that each athlete has a specific envelope of function that changes with training. My goal is to increase your envelope of function to increase performance and reach your goal.
I am a strong believer of Strength and Conditioning to assist running.
Main qualification: Honours degree in Human movement science in the field of Biokinetics (2012).
