What is MY Running Gait?
Jono’s weekly contribution:
Understanding your running gait and your body’s biomechanics is confusing at the best of times. It can however help you understand why you get some of the little niggles you may experience during any one year of training and racing.
So where do we start? Let’s start off by understanding what your running gait is. This is the way in which we run coupled with the movement pattern of our feet from the moment we make contact with the floor to the moment we leave it. It is determined by numerous factors such as
- Age
- Weight
- Cultural Background
- Muscle Flexibility
- Joint Mobility
- Previous Injury History
- Last but not least, Foot Strike
