Women in Running workshop
Women in Running: An Evening with The Running Room x Nike
Join us for an inspiring and educational evening celebrating women in running, hosted by The Running Room Physio Clinic in partnership with Nike.
Held at our Clovelly clinic, this event is designed to support female runners of all levels with expert guidance, cutting-edge technology, and a whole lot of community energy.
The evening will kick off with professional sports bra fittings, where each attendee will receive a complimentary Nike sports bra along with practical education on bra fit and support specifically for running—because comfort and performance start with the right foundations.
You’ll also get the chance to test run Nike’s new Structure+ shoe, designed to deliver stability, comfort, and confidence on the run.
We’ll then hear from two of our in-house experts:
Sally, our Women’s Health Specialist Physiotherapist, who will share insights into female-specific running considerations.
Sam, our Nutritionist, who will talk through fuelling strategies to support training, recovery, and long-term health.
After the talks, we’ll head out together for a short, inclusive group run (there will be a walking option for anyone unable to run currently), followed by a post-run refuel courtesy of Fishbowl.
To wrap up the evening, we’ll showcase our advanced strength testing equipment and the instrumented Zebris treadmill, demonstrating how we assess running gait and biomechanics to help runners move better and stay injury-free.
Whether you’re new to running or a seasoned athlete, this is a chance to learn, move, connect, and feel supported in your running journey.
Spaces are limited—come run with us.

PRESENTERS
Sally Wood
-
Sally has had a keen interest in sport from when she was young. She trained as an Elite Swimmer, competing for Scotland on many occasions including the Commonwealth Youth Games in 2008. She has now moved on to triathlon and competed in the Kona Ironman World Champs in 2022.
Her experience as a professional athlete has taught her the importance of commitment, dedication, and attention to detail which she brings to all her clients with a smile. She has a strong appreciation for helping others achieve their goals through a holistic and person-centered approach. She uses a combination of massage and dry needling and is a strong believer in strength training.
She loves treating all sporting injuries, especially triathletes and runners. She also has a special interest in Women’s Health and helping women regain control of their lives so that they can continue smashing their goals. Sally is also a qualified triathlon coach and can give a hand with planning training sessions or creating a plan.
In her spare time, you can find Sally on her bike well before the crows sing, running laps of Centennial Park, or ocean swimming with the dolphins. Sally is also a volunteer lifesaver and loves spending her time down by the beach watching the sunrise.
Samantha Mare
-
An international athlete across several disciplines, she is also an elite marathoner who competes in major races across the world.
Passionate about female health and ensuring athletes are fuelling properly in order to practice in a safe and sustainable way which optimises performance, Samantha honed her specialties at Loughborough University, where she studied for an MSc in Sport and Exercise Nutrition.
Her project investigating the effects of short-term low energy availability on markers of cardiovascular health in women won the Prize for Academic Excellence and the Project Prize.
Now a qualified running and athletics coach, Samantha is looking to combine her two interests to ensure that every time you head out the door, you know you are in the best possible position to achieve your goals in a healthy and enjoyable way.
