This feedback is a great example that even seasoned runners can benefit from an assessment. The right tweaks can help you run with greater ease, efficiency, and power, unlocking performance gains that might otherwise take months of extra training to achieve.

What is a Running Assessment?

A running assessment is an in-depth analysis of your running form, biomechanics, foot strike, posture, and movement efficiency. Using video analysis and expert evaluation, it identifies areas of improvement to make your running more fluid, energy-efficient, and sustainable.

Importantly, we also look at all aspects of running fitness—agility, balance, coordination, flexibility, strength.  Running isn't just about speed and endurance; its these underpinning foundations that make you a strong, resilient and efficient runner.

Key Benefits of a Running Assessment

1. Improved Efficiency

Many runners unknowingly waste energy through inefficient movement patterns, such as excessive bouncing, overstriding, or poor posture. A running assessment helps eliminate these inefficiencies, allowing you to run faster with less effort—a game-changer for any distance.

2. Reduced Injury Risk

Biomechanical imbalances can lead to overuse injuries, even if you’re not currently experiencing pain. A running assessment can highlight issues such as muscle imbalances, asymmetrical gait, or improper foot strike before they develop into injuries, helping you train consistently and pain-free.

3. Faster Race Times & Personal Bests

Even slight adjustments in your stride mechanics can have a big impact on race performance. As my client’s experience shows, fixing energy leakage and making small tweaks can contribute to faster times and new PBs without adding extra mileage or intensity.

4. Personalised Coaching & Training Recommendations

After your assessment, you’ll receive tailored drills, exercises, and training modifications to help you maintain and reinforce improvements. These recommendations will be specific to your running style and goals, ensuring long-term progress.
