#ENDURANCERUNNING
“No one is born a perfect runner. And none of us will become one. But through incremental steps, we can become better runners. And that’s the beauty of our sport: There are no shortcuts, nothing is given to us; we earn every kilometre and we earn every result. Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it”
As an athlete and a parent I know how challenging it can be to train effectively for events like marathons, half marathons, 10 km or even just getting started. I have over 10 years of experience in helping amateur athletes surpass their goals, while making sure they have quality time available for family, friends and their career.
Our programmes cater for all levels of ability and are personalised around you and your goal. They are simple and easy to follow including fun and creative sessions to make you want to get out there and run. They will guide you step by step to smash your personal goal. We will provide you with the knowledge and guidance of training, racing, health and nutrition to lead a proper healthy and successful endurance lifestyle. Strength & Conditioning workouts are included in our weekly plans.
Whether young or old, beginner or elite, we want you to get the most out of your running and to be the best you can be.
Make your next race, your best race.

#WHOAREWE
StrengthLab was founded in 2017 by Jateen Bhana (COACH & FOUNDER). Jateen is a passionate coach and has been a runner for most of his life. Furthermore, he is passionate about sports and sports development for all ages. Our goal is to help our athletes to enjoy their training by integrating it as a fun part into their daily routine.
However, the biggest challenge for Jateen has been balancing training with his career, family and friends. This is what motivated Jateen to think about approaching things differently, so he studied his training diaries in depth, while reading more books, blogs and scientific journals than he had time for.
“It became clear to me that success as an amateur athlete was not about training more, it was about training better.”
Over many years, he developed this philosophy, which he have researched and refined to develop an approach with all the athletes that he has worked with – and the results have been great. After much research and investigating Jateen started StrengthLab – to offer the most comprehensive range of endurance sports training plans. All designed to help one enjoy the same success that our athletes and him have, in an affordable way that still means one has quality time for their family, friends and career.
Jateen holds a Bachelors degree in Sport Science (Distinction). His studies focused on the determining factors of endurance running performance & strength and youth movement & development. His knowledge and skillset in the field of Sport Science (and to a lesser extent, Engineering (BSc Civil Engineering)) helps keep the focus on Sports Analysis, Performance, Recovery and Statistics for all our athletes.
Jateen has experience in training for, and taking part in various endurance events which include the Comrades Marathon (Silver Medal), the Two Oceans Ultra Marathon (Sainsbury Medal) and over 30 Marathons and Ultra Marathons with a Personal Best (PB/PR) of 2:47:47 at the London Marathon. We take tremendous pride in guiding and coaching athletes, whether young or old, beginner or elite, to get the most out of their sport and to be the best they can be.
