About

Running Buddy, created by Patrick Carroll, is dedicated to providing runners with high-quality strength and conditioning advice and programming at an affordable price. Many runners recognise the importance of strength training but feel uncertain about where to begin. Running Buddy addresses this gap.

With a BSc in Sport & Exercise Sciences and an MSc in Physiotherapy, Patrick has spent over 15 years helping people improve their health. For the past eight years, Patrick has specialised as a chartered musculoskeletal physiotherapist, treating injured runners and offering tailored strength and conditioning plans. A strong scientific foundation, combined with practical experience working with both injured and healthy runners, enables Patrick to create resources that enhance runners’ health and performance. Training for races while balancing work and family commitments helps Patrick ensure Running Buddy programmes are pragmatic and fit into runners' lives.
