Why running shoes are so important: Come to our running shop near Crowborough
A good pair of running shoes is a must. Whether you are an experienced runner or a complete beginner, they can help you run faster and for longer and will cushion your feet. You do not need to be running long distances to justify buying running trainers; it is important that you start how you mean to go on and periodically buy new trainers as your old ones lose support or your body changes over time.
Each time your foot impacts the ground, there is huge pressure on it. The right running shoes will minimise this. It is important that the shoes you buy are suitable for the amount and intensity of the running that you are doing because as you run your feet will swell and expand.
Running gait assessment in Uckfield
Would you like online video gait analysis in Uckfield? Based in nearby Tunbridge Wells, Running Hub is offering customers this service. We ask for you to send us a few details, including a video of you running and we will book a completely free 20-minute running assessment consultation.
We kindly ask that when you use this gait testing service that you buy your trainers from us.
Our gait testing uses the latest running technology so you can unlock your running performance and improve your running efficiency. By understanding more about the way you run, you can also reduce the chance of injury. We overlay the video onto our software so we can slow down your movement to analyse it in more precise detail. We don’t just look at your feet; we take into account the movement of your body from head to toe to enable us to look at your running style, so we can match you with the best shoes for you.
One of the major focuses on gait checks is to measure the degree of pronation. Overpronation is when the feet roll inwards too much, whereas under-pronation or supinaton is where the feet don’t roll inwards enough. We can match your degree of pronation with the right shoe type to neutralise the movement, helping to reduce the risk of injury and boosting performance.
If you would like to know more about our virtual gait analysis service, simply get in touch and we will be delighted to help.
TN2 gait analysis: How this helps determine the right running apparel
Understanding your running style is an important part of choosing the right shoes. We use state-of-the-art Contemplas Templo gait analysis software, where we video you running on the treadmill and can then see how your feet, ankles, and the rest of your body are aligned as you run. Running gaits tend to fall into one of three categories: Neutral, overpronated (the most common), and underpronated. Overpronation, is where the foot rolls inwards, so needs a stabilising shoe, whilst those people who have underpronation, sometimes called supination, roll their ankles outwards. Underpronation is the most common pronation type and seen in people with flat feet or low arches.
Different brands will stock different shoes for a variety of runners, and we stock shoes from all the big name brands. These include everything from minimal racing shoes, to very cushioned trail running trainers.
