Where running science meets real‑world performance

Federation University researchers and local performance specialists Runners Prep are exploring how science is shaping smarter and stronger runners.

In the lead-up to the Ballarat Marathon, Federation sport scientists teamed up with Runners Prep to develop training guides for athletes and now Federation students are learning first-hand how running research translates into real‑world performance.

The partnership also provides a supportive environment for the running community — helping people train, recover from injury and prepare for races alongside others on the same journey.
