Observational Running Analysis
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 who 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 – the only difference between Levels 1 and 2 is your current level of fitness and running experience. Either way you will be working with a Sports Therapist and Strength & Conditioning Coach with advanced training in running biomechanics, running re-education and personal coaching.
LEVEL ONE – 9-minute miles or steadier
- Runners paced at 9-minute miles or steadier, and/or
- New runners, hobby runners and improvers, and/or
- Runners experiencing chronic injuries or problems.
LEVEL TWO – Sub 9-minute miles
- Runners paced at sub 9-minute miles, and/or
- Experienced runners, and/or
- Runners requiring multi-directional movement, such as field sports, and/or
- Runners experiencing chronic injuries or problems.
Outcomes
- An understanding of optimal running form, and identification of any skill-gap which with remedy could improve running outcomes
- Identification of biomechanical issues causing sub-optimal performance, risk of injury, or chronic injury
- Initial recommendations for change comprising; strength or mobility prescription and/or running drills and cues.

Running Coaching & Development
We can work with you to strip down and correct your technique over progressive running development sessions. We do this with the application of cues, running drills and corrective exercises in 1:1 focused sessions specifically for you and your goals. We draw on our knowledge of injury mechanisms, movement patterns and rehabilitation to provide you with bite-size chunks of homework to deliver effective change.
Running development sessions are a great way for any runner to boost their running confidence. The sessions are focused and fun, and will provide you with guidance and support in the pursuit of your running goals.
Sessions are suitable for brand new runners, hobby runners and track athletes alike. Price £60.00.
Personalised Planning
There are two components that will help you achieve your running goals; personal investment and good programming. A good training plan is completely personalised and will take into consideration your lifestyle factors, base training, and goals. It should be part of a programme – whether that’s a higher objective or ‘just’ to maximise your running enjoyment and keep you running safely, for longer.
You can pay hundreds of pounds for bespoke planning but we want to help you move easily from one phase of running to another, as part of your overall programme.
Price £48.50 – 6-8 week plan, £72.50 – 8-16 week plan. Price includes Zoom consult.
Runner’s Checkup slot
Pick the brains of running specialist Tom in this ‘emergency’ or introductory session for runners. The Runner’s Checkup slot is great to get an injury checked, a quick look at gait issues, a chat about your training plan or strength programming. They serve to provide you with an understanding of the injury or problem you’re struggling with, and a course of action to resolve it but they are not ‘full’ treatment or assessment sessions. Further support with Tom B or another team member may be recommended.
Price £45.
Pain and Injury sessions for runners
Pain and injury (full treatment and rehab sessions) at the Hub are provided by degree-qualified Practitioners of varying disciplines. Any of the team can help you with a running-related injury, especially where it is relatively new or ‘acute’. Their treatment approach is very hands-on and covers a range of physical interventions in addition to home exercise prescription and athlete education and support. The team possess in-depth knowledge of the mechanisms behind injury and have extensive knowledge of musculoskeletal dysfunction and pathologies. However, you may choose to work specifically with Tom Boggon should specialist knowledge of running gait and running programming be required. Price varies.
“Running analysis helped me identify my weaknesses, and the exercises I was given quickly helped to sort these out and correct the imbalances. Highly recommend.”
Sports Massage for runners
Whether you’re training for a race, recovering from one, or aiming to stay injury-free, sports massage is a powerful tool for runners. The repetitive nature of running puts strain on your muscles and joints, which can lead to tightness, imbalances, and injury. Regular massage helps counteract this by:
- Improving flexibility and joint mobility
- Reducing muscle soreness and speeding up recovery
- Enhancing circulation for a better performance
- Preventing the build-up of scar tissue and adhesions
Ideal for race prep and recovery
In the lead-up to a race, sports massage can loosen tight muscles, increase range of motion, and reduce pre-event tension. Post-race, it helps flush out waste products, easing soreness and accelerating recovery.
Injury prevention and long-term care
Regular treatments can help prevent common running injuries such as IT band syndrome, runner’s knee, and shin splints. By addressing tightness and imbalances early, sports massage keeps you running stronger for longer.
