Four runners compete on a red track under a clear blue sky, with a Glorious Chateau in the Loire visible near the white structure. The front runner wears a neon yellow shirt and sunglasses. The photo is taken from a low angle.

Your Running Engine, Fully Diagnosed. One Session. Zero Guesswork.

Most runners train on assumption — guessing at zones, guessing at form, guessing at whether their body can actually handle the load they’re asking of it. The Run MoT closes that gap. In a single, streamlined 2-hour window, we run your complete engine, chassis and technique through clinical-grade diagnostics: a Strength & Conditioning running screen to flag structural weaknesses and injury risk, a CPET threshold zoning assessment to map your true aerobic and anaerobic training zones breath by breath, and a Vicon 3D kinetic gait analysis to capture exactly how your body moves under load, stride by stride. Nothing is estimated from age-based formulas or eyeballed on a treadmill — every number is measured. You leave with a single, integrated report: your training zones, your structural risk profile, and your gait mechanics, ready to build a smarter running programme around.

The Three Pillars of the Run MoT

1. S&C Running Screen — Structural Readiness
Before we test how hard your body can work, we test whether it’s built to take the load safely. Our sports scientists put you through a targeted strength & conditioning screen — assessing key running-specific strength, stability, and mobility markers across the hips, core, and lower limb chain. This flags asymmetries, weaknesses, and movement compensations before they turn into overuse injuries, and forms the structural baseline against which the rest of your session is read.

2. CPET Threshold Zoning Assessment — Your True Engine
Using breath-by-breath cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), we measure your actual oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide output as you run, rather than estimating from age or resting heart rate. This precisely locates your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds, mapping the exact heart rate and pace zones where your body shifts fuel sources — the same protocol used to prescribe elite training plans, applied to your physiology.

3. Vicon Kinetic Run Gait Analysis — Your Running Mechanics
Using a research-grade Vicon 3D motion capture system, we track your running gait in fine kinetic detail — joint angles, ground contact time, loading patterns and left-right symmetry, stride by stride. This identifies exactly where efficiency is being lost and where injury risk is quietly building, translating raw motion data into a clear picture of your technique under real running load.

Your Deliverable: The Run MoT Report

At the end of your 2-hour session, you receive a single, integrated report that ties all three pillars together:

– Training Zones — Your exact heart rate, pace and power zones for easy, threshold, and interval running, based on your measured CPET data.
– Structural Risk Profile — A clear breakdown of any strength, stability or mobility limitations flagged in your S&C screen, with corrective priorities.
– Gait & Technique Analysis — Annotated breakdown of your running mechanics from the Vicon capture, highlighting efficiency losses and injury risk points.

Private Protocol & Booking

Time Commitment: The complete Run MoT — S&C screen, CPET threshold assessment, and Vicon gait analysis — is run back-to-back in a single, efficient 2-hour window.

Preparation: Arrive warmed up and in running kit suitable for treadmill or track running. Avoid high-intensity training for 24 hours prior. Eat a light meal 2–3 hours before your session and avoid caffeine in the hour beforehand to ensure accurate baseline readings.
