Your Instructor
Michael Levack - Owner of The Running School Austria
Michael has over 20 years of experience as a sports physiotherapist and has specialized in running technique and biomechanics since 2017. He acquired his in-depth knowledge at the renowned Running and Movement School in London and founded the Running School Austria in Lower Austria in 2019.
Over the years, Michael has developed a keen eye for real-time movement analysis. This skill, honed through countless hours of practical experience, allows him to quickly identify even the smallest inefficiencies in running technique. This allows him to provide precise, individualized feedback that accelerates his clients' progress and significantly reduces the risk of injury.
He has also trained extensively with Kelly Starrett of The Ready State to master advanced mobility and treatment techniques. He also works closely with his colleagues at The Foot Collective to further deepen his expertise in foot and ankle health and breathwork. This holistic approach ensures that his clients not only perform better but also become healthier in the long term.
Michael works with people of all ages—from 8 to 80, from complete beginners to elite athletes. Whether it's addressing injuries or tapping into that last 1% of performance improvement, Michael offers comprehensive, world-class care for anyone looking to improve their running technique and quality of movement.
