Certified Running Analyst

A Ceritificate that empowers you with Knowledge

A structured course in video gait analysis for people who already work with runners. Read the handbook, practise on your own footage, then take a graded assessment on each of the 8 core chapters and a final exam. Pass, and you get a verifiable certificate.

WHO IT IS FOR

You already know running. Now you will know the method behind it.

Running coaches

You can tell something is off at pace but cannot always name it. Put a number on it, compare it to a healthy range, and say it in words the athlete acts on.

Physiotherapists

Baseline a gait, guide a return to run, and keep a record of the change that stands up in the notes and in front of a referrer.

Strength and conditioning coaches

Connect what you see on the track to what you programme in the gym, then re-measure and check the block actually moved something.

Researchers and students

Work to a consistent 2D protocol: camera set-up, frame selection, landmark placement, and the error each of those carries.

HOW THE CERTIFICATION WORKS

Learn at your own pace.

  1. 01

    Get a code

    Ask us for one and say who it is for. Codes are issued per person, or in a batch to a club or clinic. There is no online checkout and nothing to cancel.

  2. 02

    Work through the course

    Fourteen chapters and three appendices, from the language of running mechanics through capture and measurement to writing the plan. It is the same reference that ships inside MoveIQ.

  3. 03

    Practise

    Every assessed chapter has an untimed practice quiz that shows you the answer and the reasoning behind it. Practice is never graded and never counts against you.

  4. 04

    Pass the 8 chapter assessments

    8 questions each, drawn from a much larger pool, 80% to pass. Fail one and you get your score and the sections worth re-reading, never the questions you missed.

  5. 05

    Pass the final, take your certificate

    30 questions across all 8 chapters, unlocked once every chapter is passed. The certificate is issued straight away, with a public link and a version you can print.

CURRICULUM

The 8 assessed chapters.

These are the chapters the questions are drawn from. They run in order, and each one leans on the one before it.

The remaining chapters, on the mobility screen, injury, performance, shoe choice and the appendices, are background reading. They are worth your time and they are open to you, but they are not assessed.

  1. 02

    The language of running mechanics

    Planes and axes, the words for each movement, and the anatomy of every region you will be looking at.

  2. 03

    The running gait cycle

    The stride as a system, phase by phase, and the styles different runners settle into.

  3. 04

    Assessing mechanics: foot, knee, hip, upper body

    How the foot, knee, hip and upper body move through a stride, what an atypical pattern looks like, and how one joint pulls on another.

  4. 05

    Capturing good footage

    Camera views, the runner's preparation and the recording itself. The measurement can only be as good as the clip.

  5. 06

    Running an analysis in MoveIQ, step by step

    The hands-on walkthrough: one analysis in MoveIQ from import to report, with the later chapters for depth on each step.

  6. 07

    Measuring

    The measurements region by region: what each one means, the reference range it is read against, and the findings worth following up.

  7. 09

    Reading it as a system

    Comparing sides, recognising patterns across regions, and reading the scores together rather than one at a time.

  8. 12

    From findings to a plan

    Turning a page of measurements into a short plan with clear priorities, in words the runner can act on.

ASSESSMENT

Fully Graded, and not a formality.

Question final

The assessments are multiple choice and sat in your browser, on your own time. There is no practical exam, no submitted case and no viva: what is graded is whether you can read a runner's mechanics and say what the numbers mean.

Practice
Unlimited and unscored. Every assessed chapter has a practice quiz that gives you the answer and the reasoning as you go. Nothing you do in practice is recorded against you, counted towards a pass, or shown on the certificate.
Chapter assessments
8 questions per chapter, 80% to pass, which is 7 of the 8 correct. All 8 have to be passed.
Final
30 questions drawn across all 8 chapters, the same 80% to pass, which is 24 of the 30. It opens once every chapter is passed.
Retakes
Attempts are unlimited. After a failed chapter assessment the wait is 12 hours; after a failed final it is 24 hours.
The question pool
Each paper is drawn fresh from a pool much larger than the paper itself, at least 20 authored questions per assessed chapter, so a retake is a new set of questions rather than the same one again.
What a fail tells you
Your score, and the sections of the course worth re-reading. It does not show which questions you missed, so the pool stays intact for the retake.

QUESTIONS

Before you ask for a code.

How long does it take?
There is no timetable. Most people read a chapter, practise, then sit its assessment, and work through the 8 over a few weeks. If you already know the material you can go faster.
What does it cost?
Codes are issued per person or in batches. Get in touch for pricing.
Can I retake an assessment?
Yes, as many times as you need. There is a 12 hour wait after a failed chapter and 24 hours after a failed final, so a retake is a second read rather than a second guess.
Is the certificate verifiable?
Yes. Every certificate has its own public page, so a link on your CV or profile is something an employer or a client can open and check for themselves.
Do I need the desktop app?
No. The course and the assessments run in your browser. The app is the tool the course teaches you to use, so you will get more out of both together, but the certification does not require it.
Who issues it?
RunMechanics, the team behind MoveIQ. The certificate carries our seal, our reference number and the revision of the course material it was awarded against.

Learn it properly, then show it.

The course, the practice and the assessments are all online. A code is the only thing you need from us.
