How would you train a client in her late 50s who is training for a half marathon?

My client is in great shape and keeps up her runs with a local running club. She works with me twice each week to supplement her running. I’m not able to do vertical jumping as per her chiropractor (was only doing 1-2 sets 1x per week) and single-leg work seems to aggravate an old ankle/calf injury. Basically I can’t do any of the regular things I would do with my runners. Any suggestions?
As a RRCA certified coach I would recommend to help her with core exercises, including Pilates, upper body strengthening, and stretching. Most running clubs neglect that aspect or don’t worry too much about it.
Good luck,
