Run Faster. Run Longer.

Whether you’re looking to run faster, reduce fatigue or all of the above, a Running Gait analysis gives you detailed data points on your running economy, form and many other metrics that impact performance. A Running Gait analysis also helps identify potential problems in your form that may be causing pain or could lead to injury. You may also wish to add a Shoe Analysis to your Running Gait assessment to determine the ideal shoes for your style. Learn more

How

You will run on a treadmill in increments of less than one minute at a time. A Master’s-level performance physiologist will analyze your running form with the assistance of a markerless 3D motion capture system. This system will capture all movement and force being applied to the treadmill, as well as your running form. Following the test, you’ll have a 30 minute consultation about your unique results and recommendations on how to improve them.

How often

For active runners, we recommend having your gait analyzed 2-3 times per year. Runners with injuries may find more frequent testing useful as they rehabilitate.
