Whether you’re training for your next half marathon, chasing a PR at the Port Washington Run Club, or just trying to enjoy your miles without nagging pain, one thing is true: how you run matters just as much as how far you run.
That’s where a professional Running Analysis comes in.
What is a Running Analysis?
A running analysis is a detailed breakdown of your running form using video technology and expert physical therapist insight. At Evolv, we record your running from multiple angles, slow it down, and identify movement patterns that could be holding you back—or worse, setting you up for injury.
Think of it like a tune-up for your car. You may not notice the misalignment right away, but over time it leads to wear and tear. Same goes for your body.
Why Runners Need It
Here are three big reasons why a running analysis is a smart investment for any runner:
Prevent Injuries Before They Happen: From shin splints to IT band pain, many running injuries can be traced back to inefficient movement patterns. A running analysis highlights these issues early so we can correct them before they sideline you.
Run More Efficiently: Small tweaks—like how your foot strikes the ground or how your arms swing—can save energy and improve performance. Imagine running farther and faster without working harder.
Personalized Recommendations: Instead of cookie-cutter internet advice, you’ll walk away with exercises, drills, and strategies specific to YOUR body and YOUR goals.
Who Should Get a Running Analysis?
Runners with recurring pain (knee, hip, ankle, or back).
New runners who want to start strong and avoid bad habits.
Experienced runners chasing PRs or longer distances.
Athletes who’ve “tried everything” but still can’t shake nagging injuries.
What to Expect at Evolv
Your session includes:
Video breakdown of your running form from multiple angles.
Movement assessment to identify mobility, strength, or stability gaps.
Personalized plan with drills, corrective exercises, and training tips.
Most runners are surprised at what they learn—sometimes it’s as simple as a hip not pulling its weight, or a foot strike causing unnecessary stress.
