My gait analysis was shocking!!

[@daveabster]

This is the most interesting video I’ve watched in ages. Food for thought. Thanks for sharing

[@FordyRuns]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I had this done when I was diagnosed with Morton’s Neuroma in my left foot. I went there thinking I needed insoles, however after this analysis it was clear where the problem was. I went from facing injections and surgery to following simple exercises that changed how my feet landed and carrying on running with no problems. I didn’t even need the insoles. My before and after scan pictures show how effective it was. Absolutely a must for any runner in my opinion!

This was great. I currently run in the Ghost 16 and found I have less calf tightness. I went from Hoka Arahi 7 which I didn’t like at all. I felt every bit of the road in them. I’m currently on a deep dive of the podcasts. Really enjoying them.

[@jangerrit571]

Absolutely agree with the advice on the glycerine. Both the support under the foot due to Brooks’ standard supportive insole and the foam composition which is slightly firmer than most other brands. Since you mentioned fatigue during your long runs, the GTS version might work even better. The GTS is slightly firmer and the support only works when you are pronating too much, so not when your legs are fresh.

[@Stevenc1984]

It'll be interesting to see how or if your gait changes with the gym work. Hope you're back running fully soon 🤞🏻

Thank you for sharing Chris really interesting to see the process of analysing foot strike. Gives food for thought

Glad you enjoyed it

[@carlosestrada8851]

thanks for sharing. Very useful, I am going to try that gait analysis.

[@FordyRuns]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TolunayOrkun]

I think Saucony Triumph 22 could work for you as well. It is a PB foam but not as soft as in Endorphin Speed (or PWRRUN+ in previous version) and with the injury in your calf healing, the 10mm drop will reduce the loading on your calf.

No ugly Altra clown shoes for you then! Loving the Miller and Carter vids, may go and treat myself to a gait analysis there very soon. Good luck with rehab journey

Very interesting, deffo love to see more of this content 😊

More to come!

[@ollie1317]

Very good and interesting video, started watching before work and came straight back to it as soon as got in! I have never had any analysis of my gait at all, beyond me(who knows f all!) fipping my shoes over and noticing they wear in the same way on both shoes but the left always slightly ahead.

[@FordyRuns]

Glad you enjoyed the video

[@SharaRuns]

Your gait analysis is fascinating. Very high tech. Really interesting video, Chris.

[@FordyRuns]

Glad you think so!

[@rubarb1275]

Really interesting, thanks for sharing. It is amazing that it was possible to recommend a type of shoe with a drop size and type of foam density. 👍

Glad it was helpful!

[@mikehobbs624]

Interesting analysis! 👍

Thanks!

We did all of that when I worked at the Dallas Running Company store in Grapevine Texas. We also, had people run in a treadmill and video taped them running too. We used an Aetrex scanner in which we emailed copies of foot shape and other info

[@FordyRuns]

[@Tomcat304]

My left arch is a high arch, right foot arch is medium. Plus, my left foot is bigger ( 11.7") right foot (11.2") plus my arch is longer on my left foot. Two different feet basically. It's amazing what these scans show!

[@FordyRuns]

yep amazing

[@robwilliams9965]

Thanks great video! Good timing too as ive been considering getting a gait analysis after seeing some photos of me running and realising how awkward i look! 🤣

[@dorins3787]

Very interesting indeed. I also had a similar evaluation made some time ago, at a local clinic, as a basis for recommending custom orthotics. The main issur for me - and it might be also your case - is that my running form is somehow different than my walking form. One simple difference: I walk with a higher cadence, but I run with a lower cadence - maybe because I do not have the muscles to sustain a long run at high cadence. Of course my form is shit at the end of a long race, but this is anothet story. In principle, I believe you should learn from the evaluation, find a tredmill running evaluation for running and see how the conclusions will fit your running workouts. There are machines that also measure muscles - or you can find a good masseur that can also give you a good indication on how your muscles are. Speedy recovery!

[@Kellymillerruns]

That was really interesting. 🤔

[@Ajmurdoch27]

Fordy, love the video, and thanks for sharing! Just found out that i have similar issues after going for a gait analysis. It explained why i was always getting injuries in one leg.

[@FordyRuns]

welcome

[@Natan9000]

Based on logic I’d advise the Pegasus 40 for your feet.. the glycerin 21 should be quite soft not?

[@Echom4-kr5el]

Very interesting! I have not seen this kind of analysis before. Thanks for sharing.

[@FordyRuns]

Glad you liked it!

[@harrypierce9612]

Super interesting and informative video. Explained very well and makes me think about getting a more in depth gait analysis. Good to hear you can start a little bit of running again! 😁

[@FordyRuns]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JMC2727]

Really quite a good video. But it confirms what I have thought since the Alpha fly 1. Any KZbinr who says that they don't like it and can't run in it, inevitably turns out to be a poor quality runner with pretty bad form (usually heel striking). The same with other super shoes generally too. These shoes are designed with the elite in mind first and foremost and they all land mid to forefoot and running at a speed which is essentially sprinting to the rest of the world. The shoe dynamics are set up in a way to encourage that style and so if you put a runner with poor form in them, then you will see the same complaints over and over. Most runners of marathons are basically mis sold super shoes. The time threshold seems to be approximately 3.30-3.40 marathon runners and quicker benefit and those slower don't.

[@PaulWilliams-dl4fn]

Just wondering how much analysis was done of your footstrike whilst running? Walking and running are different movements and the loads developed on your feet differ massively. Would a deeper analysis of running movement result in different outcomes?

[@FordyRuns]

Listen to what he says … walking does give a truer reflection of gait

[@richardharrison5797]

Very interesting not seen this before, when I had my gait analysed its was a slow motion camera on a treadmill. Found that I over pronate on my right. Long story short I recently got injured and they think I have a weak right glute which I am building up. They think this could be what was causing me to over pronate, crazy how everything is linked

[@FordyRuns]

get strong!

[@stubestrong]

good video, shows chasing low drop shoes is not for all

[@karlbratby4349]

Fascinating…

[@therunophil]

so the bottom line is everybody has unique biomechanics, so there are no "best" shoes, just shoes that work more or less with your individual biomechanics... Speedy recovery!

[@FordyRuns]

Pretty much!

[@ianlowe4126]

Going forward then Chris with this information in mind should you be cautious about testing shoes that are not good for you?

[@FordyRuns]

no coz i will be stronger which is my main focus now.. it will though explain if something does not work
