Observational Running Analysis in Langford
Balanced biomechanics, form, and technique are key factors to running faster and more efficiently with less risk of injury. Correct running form ensures that we create and maintain linear momentum, reduce joint impact, minimize energy loss and maximize efficiency and economy.
We commonly see people from Langfordwho either want to be more efficient in their running, or who are plagued by an injury that’s making what should be enjoyable an absolute nightmare.
It’s also really good planning to get your biomechanics and technique checked by an expert ahead of any training plan to ward off any impending issue, and to inform a running prehabilitation prescription.
We have two Observational Running Assessments for runners from Langford – the only difference between Levels 1 and 2 is your current level of fitness and running experience.
