So I went to see someone recently to have my running ‘analysed’. I had expected a one off session, but that wasn’t what I got at all.
My running was looked at yes, but he said instead of just saying go away and run like this I needed to work on specific strength and muscle activation etc. Then I’d come back and see what happened. I did this and it was great to see the changes. Then I had more ‘homework’ and back in a few weeks.
He also mentioned that he was considering bike fitting as he felt the same thing should be applied there. I.e. none of these £200 all in one fits that fits you at THAT time, but rather how you can work on the right strengthening etc. To be able to best work with the bike.
Cost wise it would come to the same, so it’s not like it would be trying to get extra business.
It struck me as how often have we seen fits on here that people have had done but aren’t happy with or find out 2 weeks later they can’t hold outside?
Seemed like a good idea to me, what do others think? Is this guy barking up the wrong tree?
