Other Run Ready Services

Run assessments are comprehensive and detailed tests done on a run to evaluate the runner’s running abilities, running mechanics, and run training history. The people who are qualified to perform run assessments are running coaches or physiotherapists. 

The frequency of getting a run analysis is dependent on different variables like your running history, level of training, and your goals. Generally, runners should get a run analysis once a year or if there are major changes in their training practices. Runners with past injuries are recommended to take a run analysis more frequently. 

Yes, it can. Identifying your running weaknesses and issues is one big step towards preventing running injuries.

Run analysis, run assessments, and run gait analysis are not just suitable for seasoned runners and athletes. Beginners can also benefit from getting a run analysis done. Because a run analysis identifies wrong form, gait, and technique, this prevents running beginners to avoid making mistakes that lead to injury. Having a run analysis done before starting to run will provide runners with a solid foundation for their running journey.
