"Thanks so much for the detailed running analysis. I wasn't quite sure what I would get so I was really impressed with how tailored, individual and detailed the report and the video are! - So impressive!"
Hear what our Gracers have to say...
Just to say thank you! This is fantastic, so much practical feedback! I can see that there's so much to improve but this gives me so much to go on. Way more
than I expected, thank you.
I had awful ilio-tibial syndrome and you kindly did a gait video on the treadmill and packed me off with the Gracefull manual, which changed everything. My form has improved so much since then (slowly slowly) and never had ITBS since!
After many years running, I'd become a bit of a plodder. Becky's running
form tips helped put the spring back in my step. By concentrating on
running form not effort, I took 8 minutes off my 10k and ran PBs for 5k.
Magic!
My wife who came on your course is overjoyed with her running and has
had 2 parkrun PBs in a row (first ones for years), and one for the 10k!
Becky has given me lots of tips to improve my running technique and they have all worked. I had a particular epiphany when working on my rhythm: instead of trying to go faster I just focused on changing my rhythm. I didn’t have to put in lots of extra effort, I wasn’t more out of breath than usual but I had clocked up a new
PB.
I'm feeling so much more bouncy than before! If I get a bit sluggish, I remind myself to grow. If my legs hurt a bit I think about the circles with my heels. I try to do that slight lean forward as well as shortening my stride and it's really helping my knees not to hurt. So all in all it's worked a treat!!
I have been running most of my life but I've never had anyone tell me how to do it so I thought it was about time to find out if there's anything I can be doing better. Yes, it turns out there is!
I left feeling excited to try out some new things and improve my running.
FAQ's
-
How do I submit the required videos?
After purchase, videos can be sent via WhatsApp to +447855943236 or emailed to [email protected]. If you prefer email and the file is too large to attach, please either upload them to cloud storage and share a link or use wetransfer.com (preferred as it preserves the quality of the footage the best). Please make sure you provide your name and the email address used when purchasing your service when submitting. Many thanks! In your purchase confirmation email you will receive a set of simple instructions for filming your running videos to make sure we can provide you with the best possible feedback, (also available here: https://1drv.ms/b/c/6c6c91ebbaff4879/EXlI_7rrkWwggGy9KQAAAAABmmYGJhNvyESrxYMK7GVcXA?e=heRF3c)

Where are you based for the in-person analyses?
We have bases in Sheffield, Chesterfield and Bakewell. Becky travels extensively to deliver workshops, so get in touch to see if something can be arranged more locally to you if it ties in: [email protected]
-
Do I have to be a good runner?
What is good?! But no. Our mission at GR is to make running accessible to all! The principles we teach are grounded in science and based on the universal blueprint for how humans are designed to move. Once the feel is embedded, they evolve in line with your evolution as a runner.
-
How quickly will I see results?
Straight away…potentially! Experience has taught us that people vary greatly in their ability to feel for movements. But there are certainly simple elements that people can implement with immediate benefits. Running really is an art, so once you have your reports, we encourage you to go away and ‘play’ with your technique. Generally it is thought that it takes around 6 weeks to embed new movement patterns such that they become second nature - but it is a very worthy investment!
-
Do you provide any regular on-going support and guidance to embed the Gracefull Principles?
If you attend one of our camps you'll receive daily coaching to work on your technique. We also hold a weekly running group in the Peak District if you're local?! Our future plans include offering weekly online running-specific strength and conditioning and body maintenance sessions. You will hear about those first via our newsletter. In the meantime, it is, of course, possible to book follow-ups to track your improvements.
-
How long should I leave it before doing a follow-up?
It will take 2-4 of weeks for you to start noticing changes in your form and 6-8 weeks until new movement patterns are ingrained into your technique. We therefore recommend a follow up around 2-4 weeks to ensure the changes you are making are beneficial. If left for more than a month you may start falling back into old habits.
-
What is the youngest age you can get an analysis?
Around 8. But of course it depends on the maturity of the child. From experience we find that from this age they are able to appreciate the principles we teach and respond to feedback. It’s especially powerful at this age for them to receive visual feedback. Indeed the earlier a runner can be taught the principles that better to avoid embedding bad habits! Runners younger than 8 would still really benefit from watching and trying to copy good form.
-
Do you offer training programmes?
Not personally but we recommend https://www.kotwf.com/ for coaching by a human, and Runna, the AI Coaching app with live events, weekly online classes and community discounts. Get one free week and 20% your first month (then £15.99 thereafter) with code: GRACEFULL20
