Restore:

The foundation Program

What’s This Program All About?

The great Tanzanian marathoner, Juma Ikangaa, who won the New York City Marathon in 1989, is well known for saying this: 

“The will to win is nothing without the will to prepare.”

It’s that word, preparation… and YOUR will to prepare AND to become that highest vision of yourself that you when you feel invincible, that is the focus of the our Pursuit Athletic Performance “RESTORE: The Foundation” training system.

Know that this system is the result of nearly 10 years of trial and error in our Pursuit Athletic Performance gait analysis lab, working with hundreds of athletes. To put it simply, if you do the work and stay the course, this training will produce results for you!

Restore Your Foundation means…

You’ll Feel better – look better – and everything you do will be easier and feel better!

This is the “beginning” you’ve searched for and so richly deserve!

In this program, you’ll accomplish so much and start on your path to feeling and looking better than ever!

Our goals?

  • To learn and discover more about our own health and our body, restoring it to its most balanced and healthiest condition.

More Than Just “Demo” Videos and a lot of hype – You’ll get real instruction and guidance – gleaned from nearly 40 years of trial and error and scientific study!

Video instruction is important (and you’ll have access to dozens of instructional videos in this program) – BUT REAL learning and training progress come back to a LOT more than just instructional videos.  After all, there’s a million videos on youtube, yet rarely do people end up making progress by watching! 

What you need is a smart progression – a training system – proven to work and developed from years of experience and science – that takes YOU from step 1 to step 2, and so on. Progressively. 

Regardless of your previous athletic experience OR ability, you start at step 1 and progress!

What separates Restore: The Foundation Program, from just another set of exercise videos is that this system was developed from more than 10 years working with athletes every day in our gait analysis lab.

We know what works! We’ve seen it over and over. We refined this system and you now are the beneficiary of that experience.

You might have arrived here for a variety of reasons.  Above all however, I’m willing to bet that the primary reasons are this: you want to feel better, become healthier, stronger, more injury resistant, and perhaps even faster.

If my experience of over 40 years as coach and athlete means anything, I’ve learned (the hard way) that for any of us to be able to successfully keep training, exercising, and having fun as we age, we must first and foremost…

  • Restore balance to our body that it so richly needs to feel good and to perform.

And along with that balance comes…

  • Building a solid foundation of stability and strength that will help prepare us for whatever journey that may lie ahead.

To accomplish those goals of balance with a bigger more resilient foundation, we need to start at – the – beginning.

THIS RESTORE Foundation training system is that beginning.

Whether you are an elite triathlete or cyclist or runner or simply a “weekend warrior” who loves to jog, this is the “beginning” that leads to your best days as a human being!

The movement skills, progressions, and principles taught in Restore: The Foundation Program will immediately improve your life AND your overall performance.  You’ll feel better, look better, and age much more gracefully! 

To be successful with this program you’ll need:

15-minutes or less, per day

A positive attitude to improving your health and performance and,

A willingness to learn and practice new movements and skills

You won’t need a gym membership, tons of equipment, or fancy fitness models showing you what to do and how to do it. You’ll be learning directly from Coach Al and his coached athletes in a home environment. What are you waiting for? Get Started Today!

Client Testimonials

I only wish I’d found the Restore – The Foundation program sooner. Although perhaps I needed to waste a few years doing the wrong exercises to realize it was the perfect program for me. After retiring from hockey, I became a gym regular for the first time in my life. While initially enjoying the strength and flexibility sessions, after a while, it became obvious there was little coaching around good technique. It was more a matter of keeping up with the others in the class. I did more damage than good in the end. I’m now doing Restore – Foundation’s seemingly easy exercises at home and appreciate their true value. The biggest shock is how little time you need to spend at this to get maximum benefit. Feeling the better for it, I’ll be moving on with Coach Al’s other programs having built habits and movement patterns that will serve me well. Thanks, Al – I’m so glad to have found you!

- Rebecca Rushton

Your passion for coaching and inspiring your athletes to truly believe they can be their best, with some hard work and complete buy-in to the process is infectious. 

You honestly want people to succeed and your passion is so obvious – you can’t help yourself – and I mean that in a sincere good way.  It was something that Lisbeth Kenyon said when I had asked her for some feedback – no one would be more committed and passionate about seeing me succeed. 

Thank you, Coach!

- Maureen Brook

Coach Al – I just wanted to send a long overdue note to thank you for getting me back to running and racing triathlons.

You will remember I had severe ITBS (iliotibial band syndrome). For the last two years, I had gone through self treatment with rest, stretching and yoga. Then I went to see a sports medicine specialist getting MRI’s, injections and physical therapy.

When that didn’t work, I went to see a different sports medicine specialist and got more of the same. Finally I was told I would either have to stop running or consider surgery.

You know surgery for ITBS has pretty poor results. I am a physician myself, and am pretty comfortable with most standard medical therapies, but was not going to have surgery. I had pretty much given up hope of running more than a couple of miles ever again.

Then I saw you for a gait analysis.

The program is fantastic! I have done several triathlons this summer that include both Olympic distance and sprints.

I just completed my first half iron distance race after two-and-a-half years of being out of racing. It went great thanks to your gait analysis, the Return to Running program, and Coach Al’s awesome coaching this summer.

I was able to post the second fastest bike split in the half iron distance race, and still run a decent 1:37 half marathon on a hilly course. I could not be happier.

I think I see an Ironman in my future now, something I had given up on not too long ago. Thanks so much!

Todd Wilkens M.D. F.A.C.S.

NOTE FROM COACH AL: Todd had about given up hope on ever racing again. Through gait analysis, and our subsequent work together, he just went a 4:48 in a half Ironman–the first race of that distance he has been able to do in 2.5 years! He was fifth OVERALL, and took first place in the masters category. It is a super, super result. Not only are we over the moon at Todd’s finishing time, Todd is uninjured and pain free! Think about that! He rocked the house with a super solid result, and got on the podium. Thing is, now that he’s a stronger, more stable and durable athlete, he can begin to REALLY TRAIN and unleash his true potential. There are many great races and results ahead of him, no doubt in our minds!

- Todd Wilkens

I’m a competitive triathlete going on my fourth season in triathlon. For the last 3 years I’ve been competing in Olympic distance and earned myself a spot to the worlds in Edmonton last year. I am continuing with Olympic this year but am currently training for the half ironman ,for my first time, to kick off the season!

I realized fairly quickly that I would need a plan for this race. Never having done one and although I have a pretty good handle on the Olympic distance I wanted to make sure I had help with the half.

A good friend of mine trains with Pursuit and is always raving about them so I decided to purchase their intermediate half ironman plan.
It’s working out great!! The daily workouts are easy to understand and follow! Along with the plan you receive an awesome guide to help you through the plan and understand the daily workouts on top of a basic understanding on the important keys to make training successful.

Thanks Coach Al, I’m looking forward to my race!!

I have used Coach Al’s training plans, and I will just say, the guy knows his stuff. After so many years of experience and after following many other plans, this by far was the plan that got me in the best shape of my life.

I felt stronger and more capable than ever thanks to the structure provided for in the plan (distance and intensities), and the advice that is provided by Coach Al. 

- Curt Canata

Wow! I am faster than I have been in years and I finished the Boulder 70.3 feeling great!

Huge thanks to Coach Al for getting me here – you are the best!!!

I felt stronger and more capable than ever thanks to the structure you gave me in your training plan, and the advice that you provided helped me get to to the finish line feeling better than ever!
