At FitByKam, a running gait analysis & coaching session pinpoints your unique areas for development in running and shows you how to improve them. You’ll be surprised at how even the slightest adjustments lead to great progress!


 
 

As a biomechanics specialist, Ironman certified triathlon coach, and running and cycling coach, the experience and expertise in working with runners and multi-sport athletes across the spectrum of running and endurance events ensures the right techniques and adjustments are matched to you and your running aims. This creates a joined-up and connected viewpoint for your session.

 
 

During the session, we’ll capture and discuss video and motion sensor analysis to provide information around your foot strike, ground contact time, balance, timing, upper body motion and other key areas, including real-time insights into how the adjustments impact and improve your form. We’ll also analyse your biomechanics and discover the personal adjustments that will enhance your technique, then put them straight into practise to improve your running.

 
 

Whether you’re struggling with injuries, aiming to improve your speed by optimising your movement, seeking technique guidance on the best approach for triathlons and open running events, or simply looking to start your running journey as part of a healthy lifestyle, this session is perfect for you!

 
 

Running Gait Analysis

Discover the adjustments needed to your gait and form to improve your efficiency and unlock your running potential!

    • During the session, we’ll talk through your running history, discuss injuries and carry out physical and technical assessments of your biomechanics to discover the full picture of your personal needs.

    • The specific running goals you have will inform the guidance so that the technique you adopt is specific to your running aims. As a running and multi-sport coach, understanding of the subtle differences and considerations for specific running events is key to providing rounded advice.

    • Video and motion sensor analysis using Dartfish and Leomo software will provide you with a clear visual understanding of your gait and the adjustments that will improve your running.

    • You’ll be coached on the personal adjustments needed and we’ll put them straight into practise during the session so you feel the difference straight away!

    • Running shoe wear and the specific design features of your shoes is also analysed. You may well have more than one pair of running shoes, so bring them along and we can assess their suitability for your running goals. We’ll also discuss recommendations on suitable types of shoes for your needs. Crucially this advice will be based on the clarity you gain from the detail and process in the session rather than anecdotal advice.

    • Technology is incorporated but not solely relied upon, as no single data point or angle can fully grasp the unique nuances of your needs and specific goals. Experience in biomechanics and as a coach is a fundamental part of the process.

    • This analysis is a coached session to genuinely elevate your running.

What running analysis means at FitByKam…

  • At FitByKam, the approach to running analysis & coaching sessions is all about discovery and empowerment. It's a collaborative process to give you the knowledge and tools to take charge of your running technique and progress.

    Working together to find out where you’re at and why, then setting the path for your next steps is an integral part of the sessions. We’ll focus on understanding your personal biomechanics and running goals to tailor the guidance to your needs.

    No more being confused by forums, social media and articles. These sources of information all provide advice with the best intentions of course, but without really knowing your needs they can’t be accurate to what will make the difference for you.

    After this session, you'll feel much more confident about your individual running needs. You'll be equipped to approach future advice with an informed perspective. No more yo-yo-ing or experimenting with methods that may not be tailored to you.

    It’s not just a matter of saying, “run like this.” Instead, it’s about assessing where you’re currently at and understanding why, before establishing your next steps and making it happen!

    Let’s make your running journey smooth and effective!
