examining my gait

It’s time to start thinking about ways to improve my gait, so tonight I took my camera to the gym to record my first runner’s gait analysis video.

What’s a runner’s gait and why am I interested?
“The running gait is a unique set of actions and reactions that your foot performs while in motion to support, cushion, and balance your body.” (NB Pronation guide)

By figuring out what how my foot pronates, I can accurately purchase new shoes to help guide my foot in the right direction. This will help with more efficient movement while I run, I’ll be able to tell results through less injury, and potentially faster race times.
