How To Get Your Running Gait Analysed | Running Gait Analysis
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- Your running gait is the way your foot strikes and leaves the floor with each stride.
For runners, gait analysis usually involves a fairly quick treadmill test, usually at a running shop or through a podiatrist or physiotherapist. Anna's been along to The Saucony Stride Lab to get her gait analysed in a bit more depth and find out more about her running style and how she can improve it.

I like the running style you have as you push off anna. I've just had a gait analysis done this week. I was surprised and shocked to be told i was a neutral runner not an overpronation runner. I have low arches and visited a podiatrist this year she told me my feet weren't flat just low arches. It made me then want to do a gait analysis. I'm so glad I did because it changes things massively. I can access race trainer's that are much lighter but very importantly I'm not giving my feet the wrong support.
Wow....mind blown. I have had previous gait analysis and due to book in again but that was different level. The amount of information was fantastic and I love that you can share visual info with coach or physio. Great topic, thanks guys.
Getting a running analysis is a great idea, I got one done 2 days ago After getting Achilles tendinitis on my left leg healing getting neutral running shoes then getting Achilles tendinitis on my right leg. What felt like good running form to me was actually pretty bad once I saw then video, it was believed my footstrike and shoe were the problem but the video found I actually have a pretty good footstrike as in very minimal probation but I was over striding way to much, almost had a straight leg while landing, my upper body was way to straight actually it was pulled back to break my landing force, my leg on landing was 11degrees on left leg and 12 degrees on my right leg running coach said she is happy with single figures, I also had severe hip drop on both sides. Here I was thinking I would need to go out and spend another $250 on another pair of shoes when really unstable hips weak glutes tight hamstrings and to low of a cadence (163) are the real issues. My running coach who is a physio that did the analysis has given me exercises to help correct the problem but she did also say that increasing my cadence will clean a lot of my technique issues up. Hope this information can help someone out there.
Thanks for sharing Ben!
Your comment has helped me as I’ve the similar problems with tight hammies, weak glutes. Cheers
Thanks Anna, and congratulations on a very efficient running style.
Very interesting. You could analyse anybody’s ‘form’ and pick fault. Yours is pretty damn good.
I’m very wary about some of the things these trainer manufacturers tell us.
I don’t believe for a second using brand new trainers 3 or 4 days on the trot effects the cushioning in the short term.
I was told by sports shop ‘Up And Running’ that trainers diminish in the box even if you don’t use them. Whatever.....🙄
They were basically wanting me to buy the latest brand, rather than the ones I knew and trusted.
It’s this type of sales pitch which makes me cynical.
You are correct in that assumption , what works, works, but the shoe can be affected if every day they are being used (absorption ) of sweat / water on ground , but its difficult to trust many things i see by so called experts are utter tosh half the time, its all about you and how you move rather than the (latest) shoe.
This is what is putting me off getting my gait analysed, I know if I go to a shop I will be obliged to buy some shoes, I just want my gait looked at without the sales pitch, can anyone recommend a place in the East Midlands that would do that?!
I have started to use Enertor insoles. Absolute game changer!
Thanks this is very helpful.
I would like to see a video on tips for older runners if that’s possible please.
Thanks for the suggestion! We'll add it to our list!
Thanks guys
I currently use Gel-Cumulus 21. I did have a pair of GT-Xpress which were pretty well cushioned and noticed wear on the outside of the sole, which I think may suggest supination. It's something that worries me a little and obviously I don't want to pick up an injury.
This is good information..I would often wonder if me trying to run to fast was causing this
Is Gait analysis the main/only test when buying new running shoes or are there other/better tests that you can have done in a store? Thanks
Wondering how often should an analysis be done: every year, alternating year, etc.?
Hi Jo. It's recommended to get your gait analysed every year or so as our weight, injuries and pregnancy can all affect the way we run both in the short and longer term. Hope that helps!
Science bro;
Understand that a shoe is a 2/3 a week run shoe. Awesome video!
Thanks
Joe is right about how different every stride is different and can change , therefore makes no difference about how many cameras you have, it can only give you a fairly general idea, your gait comes to a central point , therefore the position of the dominant foot is the most important, because from that initial impact your other leg and balance are sub servant to the dominant foot, you will always get lateral movement due to the position of your feet , (yours) the other important question that has to be asked , do you use the same part of the brain when on a treadmill? the subconscious will be running us on the road and pavement but on a treadmill its an unnatural movement therefore your thinking more about how you move, on a confined belt ,driven machine , the running trade has a huge problem now, because the camera on a machine is far to simplistic, therefore many who use it to sell are guessing at what they are doing, we are so complex, each leg , each foot can be different , injuries (past) on each leg causes a distortion of the simplistic movement of the legs working efficiently running/walking , to fully understand how we move , you have to have a great ability to understand how every shoe you sell will react on every type of foot , at times your looking at each leg in an individual way , it is extremely complex, and our bodies are fantastic at coping with almost every way we run, it subconsciously adjusts movement , is it realistic to believe the shoe seller has this ability?
Thank you very much, I am a new runner and this information is helpful.
Really great one.
Thanks!
What software do you use?
Very informative! Thanks 👍🏾👍🏾
👍👍
I'd recommend not making your first experience of using a treadmill when you're having gait analysis done in a running shop - it was a while before I let go of the handrails! 😳
🙈 oh dear!!
Ed McCauley It depends. The first time I used a treadmill was when I had a gait analysis done and surprisingly didn’t hold on to the hand rail...until the end.
could advice video camera characteristics for no blurring at slow motion?
We use the GoPro Hero 7 Black and GoPro 8 for recording when on the run. Hope that helps!
@@runningchannel thank you a lot
Where is that lab?
Hi there. The Saucony Stride lab is in London at the moment, but Saucony are currently in the process of updating its system across Europe and are looking to bring it to events later in the year. Keep an eye on Saucony's social media pages for more updates on where you can have it done for yourself later in the year 👍
Lots of information there definitely worth booing in for proper gait analysis. Anna are you short or was he really tall? #notbeingheightist
Cushioning? Did I hear hear it right? You don't need it.
