Running Assessment

Run Strong: Performance & Injury Prevention Analysis
Running is one of the most effective and accessible forms of exercise, but improper training, asymmetry in joint mobility, strength, and control can all contribute to inefficiency and injury. Our expert-led Running Assessment service is designed to optimise your performance, reduce injury risk, and support you in achieving your running goals—whether you’re a beginner, a seasoned marathoner, or returning from injury.
What to Expect
Our comprehensive Running Assessment includes:
- Detailed Consultation – An in-depth discussion covering any previous or current injuries, your training history, running routine, and future goals.
- Training Plan Analysis – A review of your last six weeks of running and a structured plan for the next six weeks to optimise progress and minimise injury risk.
- Assessment of Movement & Joint Function – A thorough evaluation to identify any restrictions, asymmetries, or dysfunctions that may impact performance.
- Strength & Endurance Testing – Assessment of key muscle groups, including calf endurance, hamstring and quadriceps strength, and hip stability. Objective strength measures are conducted using a strength dynamometer, ensuring accurate data to guide rehabilitation and performance enhancement. Full access to our gym equipment allows for precise strength assessment and tailored exercise prescription.
- Footwear Guidance – Advice on selecting the most suitable running shoes based on your biomechanics and individual needs.
- Gait Analysis – A detailed running technique evaluation using advanced software to identify inefficiencies and specific gait patterns that may contribute to injury risk or reduced performance.
