Run Gait Analysis
Mideast Multisport is now offering Run Gait Analysis at Swim Bike Run of Kentucky, located at 320 N. Ashland Ave, Lexington, KY 40502.

Fee: $50 (session will last about an hour)

Although running appears to be an easy skill, many athletes suffer from poor running mechanics, which can lead to injuries and poor race performance. The two key components to proper running mechanics are usually broken down into good running economy and efficiency. Efficiency is simply the mechanical power output for a given energy consumption. Poor running mechanics can have a significant impact on your performance and can lead to injury. Having a professional coach examine your gait will be helpful in making small, gradual adjustments to your run gait. This will ultimately increase your run economy and efficiency, producing an increase in performance.

During a Run Gait Analysis session, you will receive:
1. One-on-one gait analysis by a Mideast Multisport Coach
2. Video review of your run mechanics using gait analysis software
3. Drills to help you improve your run mechanics
4. Recommendation of a shoe that will best fit your needs

What you will need to bring:
1. Running shoes that you train and race with (bring both if you use two different shoes)
2. A towel for afterwards
3. Running clothes that are tighter fitting to make the video analysis easier to view (no running tights please)
4. A Flash drive to store your video (or we will have one at the store for you to purchase)

If you are interested in this service or have additional questions, please contact Coach Beth, at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or at 859-396-3220. Once you have set up an appointment, you will be emailed an athlete questionnaire to help us with the analysis.
