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 analyze your form in the context of your specific injury.
Tell it where it hurts. It shows you why.
GaitLab: Running Injury Coach is an app that asks where you hurt — knee, shin, hip, ankle, foot — then analyzes your running form specifically for that injury. It's the only app that combines video gait analysis with injury-specific context. A runner with knee pain gets different findings than a runner with shin splints, because the mechanics that cause each are different.
Film a 15-60 second video from the side. GaitLab gives you a form score, ranks findings by severity, and builds a personalized 4-week corrective plan targeted to your specific injury. Not generic tips. The specific things in your movement 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.
