Here’s What Runners are Saying About Their RunSmart Analysis

Sarah Marie Losh

IF you have been on the fence about doing a run form analysis, y'all...do.it.now! Absolutely the best fitness money I ever spent. I got a great breakdown of my strengths and weaknesses. I got a visual comparison to other runners who ran with my weaknesses exaggerated and runners who ran with strengths I need to emulate. I even got to see before and after comparisons of runners who corrected strength issues that I need to work on to see/understand that the coaching and the program works. I got all the cool arrows and angles and colorful lines on my video- and I can go back and watch it as often as I need to!

Jason Puskarich

I just had a side run analysis performed by Patrick and I was thoroughly impressed. This was no generic analysis. Totally custom, using the footage I sent and him discussing what I was doing right and and what needs work. Not just what needs work, but explanations why and how to correct. I highly recommend this.

Julie Kohorst Phillips

9 min PB on my 14th Marathon, first in (45) Age group. Big thanks to RSO, Patrick O'Connor my run analysis and Steve’s proper form videos took me from a moderate heel striker to midfoot and “4” . Thank you so much! Your program has SO much good advice.

Ruth S Lee

Thank you Steve Gonser & RunSmart Online. 20 second PR & BQ @ CIM. Injury free & focused on knee drive.

After Runsmart I took 15 mins off my time 3.37. With more Runsmart and a Runform Video analysis from Patrick I just took another 20 mins off my time 3.16. It wasn't a Boston qualifier but quicker than my BQ time. I still have room for improvement but I'm within touching distance of my old man dream. Big shout out and huge thanks to Patrick O'conner and the team.

Karen Mays

Recently joined and I'm blown away every time I watch a runstart video. In 2 days I've already picked 4 things that I need to adjust, the scary thing is that it seems I've done all the right things at some point but not at the same time. It seems the teachers will fix a problem but change something that creates a new one. Go figure. I also love getting information as to what and why. It helps me a lot to understand those details that I crave. Super excited about this journey.

Questions & Answers

How do I upload my videos, and what are the requirements?

You can find information about recording your video by clicking here. Uploading instructions can be found here. The entire process can be completed quickly. Be sure to capture the best video possible, as it allows our physical therapists to provide the best running form analysis.

Do I have to upload right away?

No. From the date of purchase, you can upload any time in the next year (365 days). That means you can upload at the best time for you. Here are a few scenarios:

  1. Injury: Our analysis is a great way to identify the cause of an injury. However, if you’re currently injured and unable to run, we recommend that you upload your video once you’re able to run a minimum of 10 minutes without pain.
  2. Upcoming Race: We recommend not changing your run form drastically before your next race. The best time to upload a video and work on your running form is either after a race or if you have a minimum of eight weeks before a race.
What can switching to a proper running form do?

Bad form can lead to injury, especially for beginners. Common pitfalls like low hip strength and a bad running foot strike can put you at risk. Conversely, when you improve your posture and foot strike, you can completely revolutionize your distance running game and reach new PRs. That’s our goal: to give you the drills and tips you need to run better and faster, all while staying injury-free. Even intermediate and advanced runners who have a good running form can still find new areas to work on.

What is the end product?

Within 10 days of uploading your footage, we will provide you a link to download our running form tips and gait analysis. Each analysis contains more than 30 minutes of video. Our staff of physical therapists will identify possible causes of injury based on movement principles that you’ll understand.

You’ll be able to watch yourself run side by side with other runners at regular speed and in slow motion. Our physical therapists will voice over, draw, and explain everything you need to know to run faster and with less injury. We’ll tell you how to correct your form. Running drills and strength-training exercises will be recommended so that you can make specific muscle groups stronger and address the lagging or sagging parts of your body. You’ll get a comprehensive look at your form along with a plan of attack. Start working toward a correct running form and upload your video today!
