Coaching

Whether you’re training for a 5K, 10K, marathon, ultramarathon, a multi-sport event, or simply want to pursue fitness, succeeding requires a delicate balance of many factors including training and rest, strength and flexibility. Knowing what to do, how much to do and when to do it is sometimes difficult. Running Strong was created to help take the guesswork out of training and rehabilitation. Our coaches are top-notch, certified and professional.  They have a combined 27 years experience coaching runners of all ages and abilities.  Read about our coaches qualifications on the "About Our Coaches" page. 
Coaching services can be rendered "virtually" via e-mail, phone and fax or "face-to-face" if you're in our service areas (Atlanta, GA and Washington DC).

Gait Anaylsis

With the help of slow motion and freeze frame, many of the subtle nuances of your gait pattern can be revealed.  

How video gait analysis can help...

  • Assess the role that biomechanical influences such as excessive or late pronation may be playing in your injury pattern. 
  • Determine if the shoes you're wearing are correct for you.
  • Determine if more substantial motion control in the form of orthotic support may be what you need.

For clients who sign up for a face-to-face consultation in the Atlanta GA area, the video gait analysis is included in your first month fee.  "Virtual" clients may have a gait analysis performed for an additional fee of only $35.  

Contact Running Strong via phone or e-mail for further instructions. You'll be given a detailed "script" to follow to correctly capture the necessary elements of gait on video tape.  You'll send your VHS tape to Running Strong and will receive a detailed report within a matter of days.
