1:1 Athletic Assessment

Running At Sunset

The Problem

You’re putting in the miles, but progress feels inconsistent.
Form breaks down under fatigue. Uphills spike your heart rate; downhills batter your quads. You’ve heard of “ABCs” and drills but aren’t sure which ones actually help you. Without a clear, personalised plan, you’re guessing—risking plateaus, recurring niggles, and wasted training time.

The Solution

1:1 Athletic Assessment for Runners...a focused session that identifies exactly what’s holding you back and what to do next.

What we look at

  • Fundamentals (ABCs): Your baseline agility/balance/coordination and running mechanics.

  • Technique: Stride, cadence, posture, footstrike, arm action—how they change with pace and fatigue.

  • Endurance: Simple field checks to see how efficiently you sustain pace and form.

  • Uphill & Downhill Running: Timing, rhythm, foot placement, braking, and turnover

The Offer

1:1 Athletic Assessment for Runners (Assessment + Report)
What’s included:

  • Pre‑session intake (goals, training history, race targets)

  • On‑ground assessment covering ABCs, technique, endurance indicators, uphill/downhill form

  • Optional video capture for key movements and hill segments

  • Same‑day or next‑day personalised report with:

    • Your top 3 focus areas

    • Technique tweaks and “in‑run” cues

    • Drill menu (ABCs/fundamentals and form‑specific)

    • 4‑week plan to implement changes

  • Email support for quick clarifications on the report

Ideal for: 5k–marathon runners, trail runners, and anyone returning from a niggle who wants to run more efficiently and confidently on varied terrain.
