Description
Who it’s for
Trail runners who want to improve efficiency, reduce injury risk, and gain confidence on technical terrain—whether preparing for a race or simply wanting to feel stronger and smoother on the trails.
Performed by our coach Sidney
This assessment is run by Sidney, our Hungry Runner head coach. He isn’t a biomechanist and won’t be measuring every joint angle in a lab setting, but he brings extensive knowledge in running mechanics and practical coaching. His approach focuses on real-world improvements using cues, strength work, and drills that directly translate into better form and performance.
What’s included
1. Initial 90–120 minute session (face-to-face)
- Warm-up & drills: Short trail warm-up, activation, and technical drills (recorded for reference).
- Movements analysis: Mobility assessment and jump abilities.
- Video analysis: Slow-motion capture of your stride at easy pace, test pace, and while running both uphills and downhills on trail terrain. I’ll review footage on the spot and highlight key improvement areas.
- Targeted coaching: Hands-on drills and strength exercises to address your specific movement patterns and trail-specific inefficiencies.
- Q&A session: Dedicated time (≈30min) to answer your running, training, or strength questions.
