RUNNING FORM ANALYSIS
Efficient running is easy running.

All runners can benefit by finding their most efficient running form. Running efficiently:

 

  1. decreases the chance of injury

  2. reduces fatigue

  3. improves speed

 

But efficient running form isn’t just about how you move. That’s why my analysis is a multi-step process:

1) Structural Analysis

The analysis starts with diagnostic tests of strength and flexibility in running-specific areas. These tests pinpoint the weaknesses that are keeping you from running efficiently.

2) Mechanical Analysis

Next is frame-by-frame video analysis of how you run. This allows a detailed look at how your upper and lower body move as you run and what changes we need to make.

3) Exercise Instruction

Based on the testing and video analysis, I walk you through a personalized routine of pre-run and post-run drills and exercises to address your weakest areas.

Running Form Analysis FAQs

After the testing, video work, and exercise instruction, I compile and send you:

1. The results of your structural tests
2. Your personalized pre-run and post-run exercise routines (including links to instructional videos of the drills and exercises)
3. Screenshots of your video analysis with my notes on your main areas of focus
Quite simply, only that we don't meet in-person!

I'll send you instructions on how to film / photograph the diagnostic tests and examples of you running. Once you send those to me, we schedule a time to video conference and talk through what I'm seeing and what we need to focus on.

Then we'll discuss the exercises I'll be putting in your pre-run and post-run routines and go over examples.

Finally, I'll send over my diagnostic notes, your exercise routines, and the screen shots of your running video with my notes for you to refer back to.
The exact length of the analysis depends on what areas we need to address in your running. In general, the in-person analysis usually takes around 90 minutes and the video conference for the virtual analysis usually takes around 60 minutes.
Yes! Most runners notice the improvements in their running start after 4-6 weeks of doing drills and exercises regularly. At that time you can schedule a follow-up session to make sure your improvements are on track. Contact me directly to schedule a follow-up session.
I prefer to find a location that is convenient for you. It can be done at a track or a park as long as there is a flat, paved stretch of approximately 100 meters. If you have questions on the location, feel free to contact me before signing up.

  • What my clients say:

    Everything about the session was perfect: practical, easy to follow analysis and advice, explained simply and understandably, and put into a program that I could follow and use to improve. Coach Carl offered concrete, practical, helpful advice supported by sensible explanations.

    - Ursula B.

  • What my clients say:

    I am aged, overweight, and recovering from an injury. Coach Carl treated me like a runner that needed help. There was no judgement, but helpful hints and training techniques. He was patient and very positive. My experience was wonderful!

    - Cristal S.

  • What my clients say:

    I don't think of myself as a true athlete, but more of a fitness runner so I was afraid Coach Carl would be above my skill set. Wasn't the case at all -- he was great. We run our whole lives, but nobody really helps us to do it well. I felt like my experience with Coach Carl was the perfect tweak.

    - Jennie N.

  • What my clients say:

    Coach Carl is very knowledgable and personable and takes the time to get to know your running and athletic history in order to personalize the session to meet your needs. The entire session was very informative and detailed. Coach Carl was so helpful in breaking things down and explaining them in a way that was easy to understand.

    - Natalie M.

  • What my clients say:

    The approach Coach Carl sent me home with felt entirely doable long-term. I didn't leave the session wondering what part of my life I would have to sacrifice to fit in the exercises he gave me. Before the analysis I was doubtful there was anything I could change. But during the session, the reasons why my body was behaving the way it was made complete sense.

    - Andrea B.
