FAQs
What is a running analysis?
A running analysis is a detailed assessment of how you run, focusing on your movement patterns, posture, stride, foot strike, cadence, and biomechanics. It is used to identify inefficiencies, imbalances, or compensations that may affect performance or increase the risk of injury.
Who should get a running analysis?
Running analysis is helpful for runners of all levels, including beginners, recreational runners, and competitive athletes. It is especially useful for individuals who experience recurring injuries, pain while running, or those looking to improve speed, endurance, or running efficiency.
What happens during a running analysis?

- Observe you running on a treadmill or overground
- Record video from multiple angles
