EXCLUSIVE FOR RUNNING CLUB MEMBERS | STRENGTH TRAINING & NUTRITION FOR RUNNERS | PERFORMANCE PARTNERSHIP
Build the Runner Behind Every Personal Best.
PACE is HPC's exclusive performance membership for recognised running club members. Through assessment-led coaching, strength training and movement optimisation, we help runners build the strength, movement quality and recovery capacity needed to train harder, recover better and perform consistently—for years to come.
Designed to complement your running club and support your progress every step of the way.
More Than a Membership. A Performance Partnership.
PACE is HPC's exclusive performance membership for recognised running club members.
It exists to complement the work already being done by your running club—not compete with it.
Your club helps you build your running. PACE helps you build the strength, movement quality and physical capacity that support it.
Together, they create stronger, healthier and more resilient runners.

Your Running Isn't Always the Limitation
Every runner reaches a point where progress becomes harder.
For some, it's recurring injuries. For others, it's poor recovery, inconsistent training, or frustrating performance plateaus. The limiting factor often isn't the running programme. Many assume they need a different training plan, more mileage or better shoes. Sometimes they do.
But often, the limiting factor is something else entirely.
It's the body's ability to tolerate the demands being placed upon it. Strength, movement quality and recovery capacity determine how well your body tolerates the demands of training. Without them, even the best running programme has limitations.
Running places thousands of repetitive demands on your body. If your body can't tolerate them, progress eventually slows.
The goal isn't simply to run more. It's to build a body capable of supporting every kilometre.
PACE exists to help runners build the strength, movement quality and physical capacity needed to support their training—not replace it.
Through assessment-led coaching, we identify the limitations that may be holding you back and build a stronger foundation for long-term performance.
Every Runner Is Different. So Is Every Body.
At HPC, we don't believe in generic strength programmes for runners.
Every runner moves differently, compensates differently and responds differently to training.
That's why every PACE journey begins with understanding how you move.
-
Assess
We evaluate how your body moves to identify limitations, compensations and opportunities for improvement.
-
Build
Your programme is designed to improve strength, movement quality and physical capacity based on your assessment.
-
Perform
As your body becomes more resilient, you can train with greater confidence, consistency and efficiency.
-
Progress
Performance isn't built in a few weeks. We help you continue improving through structured long-term development.
We don't JUST train runners. We develop the body that carries them.
-
Every PACE journey begins with understanding how your body moves. From there, we identify the physical limitations that may be affecting your performance and build a programme around what your body needs—not what every runner gets.
Book your assessment -
