About
Most running advice is generic. Stretch more. Strength train. Get new shoes. It rarely points to the actual thing that's wrong.
This blog is about something more specific: what happens when you film yourself running and let an AI look at it.
GaitLab is an app that analyzes running form from a short video — 20 seconds from the side, shot on your phone. It gives you a Running Form Score and flags the exact issues in your movement that are causing injury or costing you efficiency. Not general tips. Not guesses. The specific things in your mechanics that need attention.
The articles here are real accounts of people using that feedback and following through on it. What the analysis found. What they changed. What happened to their knee pain, their shin splints, their stalled pace.
The format is first-person by design. Running injuries and plateaus are personal. The training adjustments that actually work are personal. Generic advice doesn't fix a specific problem. A specific diagnosis does.
If you're dealing with something that won't resolve — a recurring ache, a pace that hasn't moved in months, a form issue you've been told about but never fixed — there's probably something useful here.
