Never limit where running can take you. I mean that geographically, spiritually, and of course, physically.”

Gait Analysis and Running Technique Coaching

Did you know that around 50% of runners experience an injury each year that stops them from running for a significant period? Even more striking—70–80% of these injuries are caused by overuse.

The first factor to assess when a runner gets injured is training load. Rapid increases in volume or intensity are a common cause of overuse injuries.

But if training load isn’t the issue, it’s essential to look at how you move.

While running is a natural human movement, our modern, mostly sedentary lifestyles can lead to poor mobility, muscle imbalances, and inefficient movement patterns. These issues can limit performance and increase injury risk.

Running is a complex, coordinated movement that requires your entire body to work in sync. Long hours spent sitting can disrupt this harmony—tight hips, weak glutes, poor posture—and these dysfunctional patterns often show up in your running form.

Through my Gait Analysis and Running Technique Coaching, I help runners improve their movement efficiency, reduce injury risk, and move more naturally and powerfully.

Struggling with Injuries?  Start with a gait analysis session

90 min Session £75

If you’re dealing with recurring injuries, one of the most important steps you can take is to book a Gait Analysis session.

Each session lasts 90 minutes and includes a comprehensive assessment of your running technique and overall movement patterns. We’ll identify any inefficiencies or imbalances that may be contributing to your injuries.

Unlike traditional treadmill assessments, I prefer to observe your running outdoors, where your movement is more natural and reflective of real-world conditions. Most sessions take place in Mote Park, Maidstone—a great setting for analysing your true running form.

What’s included in a gait analysis?

Each 90-minute session is designed to give you a clear understanding of how you move and what may be contributing to pain, injury, or inefficiency in your running.

Here’s what to expect:

🗣️ Initial Consultation

We’ll start with a brief chat about your running background, goals, and current training. This helps provide context for the movement and gait assessment.

💪 Movement Screening

I’ll guide you through a series of strength, mobility, and functional movement exercises to identify any weaknesses, restrictions, imbalances, or dysfunctional patterns that may affect your running.

🎥 Running Assessment with Video & Technology

You’ll then complete a running assessment using high-quality video analysis alongside RunEasi gait analysis technology, which provides data on:

  • Dynamic stability
  • Impact loading
  • Symmetry

🧠 In-Depth Feedback & Analysis

We’ll go through the video footage and detailed RunEasi reports together, so you’ll fully understand what’s going on with your running mechanics—and what to do about it.

Testimonials

“Had a gait analysis session yesterday with Liz. My running pattern ticks the boxes for increased injury, hence a pulled hamstring! 

I now have the advice I need to help me change my gait for some efficient injury free running. Here’s to a speedy 2021. So if you’re suffering persistent running niggles this is well worth doing! 

Thanks Liz.”

- Jenny Howland

“I have just finished a 6 week running techniques course with Liz, and I was actually amazed at the difference in the way I run within such a short time. I Would definitely recommend Liz for some coaching…I for sure will be continuing to work with Liz to see what else I can learn. Thank you again!”

- Carly Crust

“Awesome work from Liz helping me with my running form over the last like 6 weeks. I used to run like I was on a tight rope, always clipping my own feet and legs, upper body throwing me off.  Liz has helped me tremendously virtually eliminate my crossover gait, reducing my hip drop and stopping my arms swinging across throwing me off.  Recently my runs have felt a lot more comfortable, even on the hills driving more with my legs.”

- Alec Martin

“Thank you so much Liz. You have been brilliant and very patient! Looking forward to continuing my training!”

- Julie Manning

“Have just completed 6 weeks of 1:1 training with Liz to improve my running techniques. Wasn’t sure what to expect or how it would change my running but am very impressed with the advice and support she has provided me throughout. From warm up exercises, stretching, co-ordination and techniques of running, it has all come together to make me lighter, faster and more comfortable on my feet. I cannot thank you enough for the quality of the instruction, support and advice that you have provided over the course and the results that I have achieved as a result. 

Thoroughly recommended for anyone who wants to improve their technique, feel better, stronger and/or faster when running. Still putting into practice what I have learnt but am already seeing great results!”
