🏁 The Finish Line Protocol
Arrive strong. Run your best. Finish proud.
The Finish Line Protocol is a 16-week resilience-based training system for runners chasing their next marathon — from Tokyo to Berlin, New York, and beyond
💥 Intake for the Tokyo Marathon (and beyond) opens this November.
You’ve done the miles. You’ve booked the flights.
Now it’s time to make sure your body can handle both.
The Finish Line Protocol helps serious runners stay injury-free, confident, and ready to perform with the only system that combines:
A proven marathon-ready training structure
The Stretch Yourself Strong mobility and end-range strength method
Expert coaching to handle taper, travel, and race-day stress
Who It’s For
Runners prepping for destination marathons (Tokyo, Berlin, New York, London, etc.)
Committed athletes balancing training, travel, and injury risk
Runners who’ve followed generic plans before and paid the price in pain or performance loss
What You Actually Get
1. The Full Stretch Yourself Strong Program
Your complete system for building strength through mobility — on your schedule.
Do short 10–15-minute sessions that plug easily into your current run plan or structure a full mobility block just like you would a strength workout.
Progress through three clear phases of training that build range, control, and transfer — or choose the areas you need most (hips, calves, feet, or spine) with expert guidance on where to start.
Every exercise is designed to build strength where you usually stretch, helping you move better, recover faster, and stay injury-free as mileage climbs.
2. Four Monthly Themed Q&A Coaching Workshops (Nov–Feb)
Live, practical, and marathon-specific — no new content to chase, just clarity and direction.
1 – Warm-Up That Transfers Generic prep routines don’t work to prevent injury. We’ll build out your personal pre-run routine. You’ll get access to the same easy to use templates and custom GPT I’ve provided to coaches and therapists in my professional development programs.
2 – Running Gait & Efficiency Poor running technique leaks performance and causes injury. I’n real time we’ll run through gait assessments and learn how to smooth your stride and reduce energy leaks. We’ll look at everything from foot contact, to head position.
3 – Staying Injury-Free Under Load Around this time in a training protocol is where things can fall to pieces. We’ll look at what is needed to stay injury free and also look at how to stay safe as you increase speed and load.
4 – Taper, Travel & Race-Week RecoveryArrive fresh, not flat — hotel routines, jet lag, and post-race reset plan.
Recordings and key takeaways are posted in the private hub after each session.
3. Monthly Runner Protocols (By Finish-Time Track)
Each month, you’ll receive an email with your Runner Protocol based on your target finish time (Sub-3 → 5+ hr).
You’ll know:
How to fit SYS micro-blocks around your training,
What cues to focus on in your running form, and
Where to adjust volume or drills as training builds.
Many runners do this program alongside their own running coach. You are not obligated to follow the training plan is this program. You can certainly cross check though to make sure you are getting the best advice.
4. Race-Week Recovery Kit
Your plug-and-play taper & travel guide:
7-day schedule for mobility, recovery, and mindset
Hotel-friendly warm-ups and decompression drills
Sleep and nutrition checklist for long-haul races
5. Private Community
Stay connected with runners prepping for Tokyo, Berlin, and beyond.
Share wins, troubleshoot flare-ups, and get feedback between calls.
6. Expert Guidance Without the Overwhelm
You get access to the full exercise library, but you’ll never feel lost.
Each workshop includes Q&A and Runner Protocol points you to exactly what matters most for your training phase.
It’s structured enough to trust, flexible enough to fit, and supported enough to finish strong.
Glenn's knowledge and expertise is first class and would benefit anyone from a professional to a weekend warrior.
Jon Albon, Sky Running World Champion
Real people. Real results.
As an Exercise Physiologist, I’ve worked with everyone from World Champions to runners training for their very first 5K. I’ve helped elite athletes return from injury to break records — including one who shattered the 100km Hut-to-Hut course by three hours post-rehab — and guided everyday runners around the world out of persistent pain that had been holding them back from training and racing with confidence.
After two decades refining my methods in both performance and rehabilitation, I’m confident I can help any runner, anywhere, achieve their best result — without breaking down in the process.

I injured my ankle 6 weeks out of Sydney Marathon. I didn't think I would run it, let alone hit a PB. Glenn didn't just help with my ankle. He corrected everything about my running and I now do his warm up every run. Or I don't run at all. Plus his exercises "most" days. If I had of met him 10 years ago I'd be a world champion..maybe ;)

Glenn is the body mechanic wizard. The World needs to know about this stuff! His methods helped me move better, prevent injuries, and fix the issues I thought I was stuck with for life. I no longer worry about what injury might happen next.

As I become older niggling injuries and muscle tightness has increased. These injuries have almost dissapeared due to Glenn’s guidance and expertise.

FAQs
When will I get access?
You will have access to the core content immediately on signing up (classes, exercise programming). Run programming if you are doing it will start 16 weeks out alongside workshops etc.
Are the classes just stretching?
No. Stretch Yourself Strong uses stretching with intensity and purpose — combined with strength, isometrics, and eccentrics — to build lasting results. It’s training, not fluff.
How much time do I need each week?
Videos are anywhere from 20 seconds for individual exercises to 20 minutes long for classes. You could easily make incredible gains with 2 minutes a day.
I’ve tried yoga, mobility drills, and foam rolling to prevent injury. How is this different?
Those give temporary relief. SYS trains you at your weakest points — the ends of your range — so your mobility sticks and injuries stop repeating.
What if it doesn’t work for me?
You’re covered by a 30-day, no-risk guarantee. If you don’t move better, feel stronger, and see progress — you get a refund. And you keep Phase 1.
Doesn’t mobility take years to change?
Yes if you do it the old way. Foam rolling and yoga flows give temporary relief, not lasting change. With Stretch Yourself Strong, you’ll see measurable improvements in range and strength in the first 30 days — and those gains actually stick.
I’m over 40 and feel stiff/sore — is this too advanced for me?
No. The program was originally built for active adults 35+ with scalable progressions. You’ll start at your level and build safely.
Do I need equipment?
Most of the exercises are bodyweight only. In the instances that they aren’t you could make do with household items. There are a couple of band exercises in Phase 3 but there are alternative options.
Am I too old to improve mobility and strength?
Not at all. In fact, active adults 35+ often see the fastest improvements — because you’ve built a strength base, but never trained the ends of your range. Once you do, stiffness fades, soreness drops, and your body starts moving like it used to.
I already do strength training. Do I really need this?
If you’re stiff, sore, or worried about injury… then yes. Strength in the middle of a lift isn’t enough. Most injuries happen at the edges of your range. SYS makes sure your body is strong where it’s most vulnerable — so your training is safer, smoother, and more effective.
