[EP250] - Gait Analysis

---

Hi everyone!

Hope you're all well!
Welcome to my video made exclusively for D.Tube and Cinnamon

I really wanted to celebrate my 250th DTube video (not really, I've made a few that I didn't number) by talking about something that holds very little interest for the smallest number of viewers...

... but if any of those interested vewiers happens to catch this... it was great!

I basically had a gait analysis done today, which is a process where a physical therapist records you walking, running and sprinting on a treadmill, and then watches it back in slow motion to find out where your problem spots are.

I really struggled with the sprint on the treadmill, it was just weird trying to go all out on something so confined, but I think it did the job. It turns out my form is actually pretty good... which is a huge relief. I wear very different shoes for my different runs... big bulky trail runners for my endurance runs, which tend to be a mix of road, gravel and mud... and then total minimalist shoes for hill sprints.

Turns out my foot placement, hip bend, knee bend, and all that jazz are okay. I'm not crossing my feet over (like an exaggerated tight rope walker) but it's not all good news. My right hip is either weak or tight, and that means my hips are completely straight when I run, my right hip dips down on each step.

I've been given some exercises to try and correct this, but overall I'm really happy my form is okay. Especially since I'm prone to bouts of plantar fascitis, I was worried that the more I was running the more damage I was doing. Phew!

Thanks for watching!
