Record a Video
Place the camera around 12-18 inches behind the treadmill and approximately 4-8 inches off of the ground. If you don't have a tripod, why not ask a friend to help?
The video should show you running in the centre of the screen, showing a clear view of each foot as it lands and continues through to toe off.
- Time - Minimum 20 second of running
- Shoes - Wear the least supportive pair you own.
- Speed - Running at your normal training pace.
The video needs to be under 300MB and one of the following file types: .avi .mov .mpeg, .wmv or .mp4
Bit About You
Creating accurate and personalised analysis
As well as analysing your video footage, we'll also need to ask some questions about you and your running. Factors such as how long you've been running, your average weekly mileage and the type of surface you run on are all important here.
These questions will be in asked on your video submission, please answer as many of these as you can.
Expert Analysis
Our specialist will analyse your video footage, assess your gait to establish your level of pronation and identify any biomechanical inefficiencies which might be impacting on your performance.
We'll analyse your gait frame by frame throughout your footstrike, from the landing phase through to toe off, identifying both your level of pronation and your individual footstrike pattern. From this we can identify whether you are an overpronator, a neutral runner, or if you underpronate.
Our Recommendation
