🚶‍♂️💥 Experiencing pain when you walk? Your biomechanics might be the key.
Here are 4 biomechanical factors that often contribute to discomfort:
1️⃣ Foot strike & arch mechanics – Flat feet or high arches can alter load distribution.
2️⃣ Stride length & cadence – Overstriding increases impact; shuffling can stress joints.
3️⃣ Hip & pelvic alignment – Instability can cause compensations that travel down the chain.
4️⃣ Posture & core control – Poor alignment changes how forces move through the spine and legs.
✨ Understanding your walking biomechanics helps uncover why pain shows up — and how to move with less strain.
💬 When you feel pain while walking, where do you notice it first?

The Running Lab was represented by our physiotherapist, at The Oxford Biomechanics Masterclass 2025, held at Trinity College, Oxford, UK.
This insightful event covered key topics in the field of running science — from unlocking the 4% with supershoes to understanding the mechanisms of stress fractures. It was a fantastic opportunity to gain the latest evidence-based knowledge, explore technological advances, and connect with leading professionals in biomechanics and running performance.
We are confident that such an experience will help us continue delivering the most up-to-date services in running analysis and biomechanics!

Think a Longer Stride Makes You Faster? Think Again.
One of the most common things we see in 3D running analysis?
👉 Overstriding.
That’s when your foot lands too far ahead of your body, often in an attempt to “run faster.”
But here’s the reality:
📉 Overstriding =
* More braking force
* Higher impact on joints
* Less running efficiency
* Greater injury risk (especially knees, shins, and hips)
💡 Using The Running Lab 3D motion capture, we can see exactly:
* Where your foot is landing in relation to your hips
* How much time you’re spending on the ground
* How your stride length + cadence balance out
What feels “powerful” might actually be slowing you down.
✅ A more compact, quicker stride is often the fix.
✅ Small adjustments and more strength training = big performance gains and less pain.

🏃‍♀️⚡ If your running performance feels “off,” biomechanics could be the hidden culprit.
Here are 4 biomechanical factors that commonly slow runners down:
1️⃣ Stride length & cadence – Overstriding wastes energy, while optimal cadence keeps momentum efficient.
2️⃣ Foot strike pattern – Heel striking vs. mid/forefoot can change impact forces and energy return.
3️⃣ Hip stability – Weak glutes/hips lead to inefficient form and increased injury risk.
4️⃣ Posture & arm swing – Poor alignment = wasted energy and reduced forward drive.
✨ Fine-tuning your biomechanics can boost efficiency, reduce injury risk, and help you run stronger for longer.

🎽 Runners & Knee Pain 🦵💥 Is knee pain slowing down your runs? You’re not alone.

Around 40% of runners experience knee pain at some point—often from overuse, weak supporting muscles, or poor running mechanics.

✅ Tips to keep your knees happy:
1. Strengthen your quads, glutes, and hips
2. Don’t skip your warm-up & mobility work
3. Listen to your body—rest is part of training
4. Rotate shoes every 500-800km
5. 3D analyse your run to analyse your running technique for any imbalances

Your knees are built to move, but they need support. Strong muscles = stronger runs. 💪✨

🏃‍♀️ Question for you: Have you ever had to take a break from running because of knee pain?

“What Is Running Efficiency — and Why It Matters”
Running faster isn’t just about training harder — it’s about moving smarter.

💡 Running efficiency means using less energy to go the same distance.
Small changes in your stride, posture, or footstrike can lead to big gains over time.

📉 Wasted motion = wasted energy
📈 Better mechanics = longer, faster, safer runs

At our lab, we measure:
– Cadence
– Stride length
– Ground contact time
– Vertical oscillation
– Joint loading

🎯 The goal? Help you move better with every step.

Running is a stress-recovery game—not just a mileage contest. True progress comes from smart training, built-in rest days, and honoring recovery as part of the training itself. “More isn’t better. Better is better.”
If you are also keen to gain valuable insights into your running technique, walking pattern, enhance your overall experience, address existing pain/injury, and reduce the risk of future injuries, we welcome you to our Lab. Our expert team is ready to provide a comprehensive assessment tailored to your unique needs!
