Running Assessment details:
You will need to bring your run gear as well as all your running shoes — especially the old ones. We start with a subjective history of any injuries and medical history. We then go into detail about your work and training as well as recovery strategies including sleep and nutrition. Based on your run goals, advice will be given depending on what is found in the assessment to make a unique, tailored training plan and strength program.
This assessment is for all runners. It looks at full body strength and where there may be imbalances which we can work on to make you a stronger, more efficient runner. We also look at how you run on the treadmill and do a video analysis and give advice on how to improve your running for efficiency. If you are struggling with an ongoing injury, we look for any factors which may be contributing to the injury and adapt your running style via small and manageable changes. There would be three or four key exercises, advice and one or two run drills to improve your performance depending on what is found in the assessment. This is sent to you in a summary report following the assessment.
If you are injured and unable to run, we would recommend you first see a physiotherapist to address the injury. For the assessment, you will need to be able to run on the treadmill for a few minutes and it is most appropriate when you’re neither in pain or carrying an injury that is stopping you from running normally.
The assessment is especially useful for runners who have recurring injuries which — despite rehabilitation intervention — seem to come back regularly. If you are wanting to improve your overall strength and form for running, or taking on a new distance and not sure how to start, this assessment can help.

“The running assessment is a fantastic way to gain more insight into all aspects of running!”
“Dawn will talk through in more detail any particular areas you want to learn more about which I found super helpful (e.g., nutrition, injury prevention, etc). The assessment gives great insight into your individual running technique and how this can be improved so you can be a more versatile runner. The assessment taught me a lot about areas I need to improve on and where my strengths lie. I would highly recommend any avid runner to do the assessment! Thank you, Dawn!”

Frequently asked questions
This is an hour and a half fully detailed assessment to help you with your running. You will need to be dressed in run gear to run on a treadmill for a few minutes and bring ALL your running shoes – the older the better. It looks at all aspects of your life which include recovery, gear and of course running to improve your running and/ or help to assess areas that you can work on to get stronger and more resilient
This is for all runners but not if you are injured. You can have a niggle or a recurring injury but you must be able to run on the treadmill for a few minutes. The aim is to help runners of all abilities depending on your needs to improve form, get stronger, work out ways that you can be more efficient and clever with your training.
1.5 hours
You will then receive a summary of the assessment via email afterwards.
This is completely different from going to a Shoe shop to get your gait assessed. Firstly you will be assessed by a Physiotherapist who is an expert in running and who runs themselves. Secondly it is detailed and we look at both medical and life influences that may be affecting your running and give you a detailed, holistic and manageable plan tailored to your needs.
Yes, of course!
Not ideally. You can have some minor discomfort but if you are in pain we recommend that you first seek out physiotherapy treatment then come for the Running Assessment to get the most out of it.
A detailed subjective including medical history, work, lifestyle. Recovery techniques, fuelling, weekly planner – coaching if needed. Gear assessment – we look in detail at your shoes and can recommend the best pair for you for what you are training for, nutritional advice, video analysed gait assessment, musculoskeletal screening, specific muscle testing and functional strength. We will focus on areas that you want to learn more about within the assessment too.
