Introducing OnTrack Performance Screening 📊

Giving you the data your smartwatch can’t 📈

As runners, we LOVE data.
But truthfully… we rarely measure the things that actually matter.
And when we do, we rarely know what to do with it.

That’s the inspiration behind OnTrack Performance Screening.

A comprehensive, athlete‑focused assessment built by specialist physiotherapists and powered by elite‑level force plates and dynamometers.

Ever wondered if one side of your body is weaker?
If you have injury prone areas?
How you compare to other similar athletes?
What you really need to target in the gym?
How to break through that performance plateau?
How to improve your running form?
Or how to improve your performance aside from training harder and longer?

Then this one’s for you 🫵

As runners, we’ve built this from the ground up with you in mind.

What we assess:
• Mobility / range of motion of key joints and muscles
• Balance
• Max Strength in run-specific movements
• Power including jumping and plyometrics
• Asymmetries between limbs
• Running gait

Your data is then analysed by running specialist physios giving you:
• Key strengths and areas for improvement.
• How to reduce injury risk and improve performance based on your data.
• How you compare to normative data for your sport, age and s*x.
• Personalised feedback including specific exercises, actionable insights and training priorities.
• Optional extras including run coaching / strength & conditioning plans.

Whether you’re chasing a PB, building back from injury, or wanting to understand your body on a deeper level, this has been designed with you in mind.

We’ve already tested this on ourselves and with trusted OnTrack clients — and the insights have been incredibly valuable. It’s already helping us understand our strengths, weaknesses, and exactly how to improve performance.

🍌 Anterior Tibia (front of the shin) Pain 🍌

I’ve run through a lot of niggles in my time as an endurance runner but this is one that did concern me last week, and there’s good reason for that.

With a recent increase in training including more plyos/intensity on the track I am at higher risk of a bone stress injury.

Add to that a painful single leg hop which is a key indicator for potential bone stress injury.

Should we run on a suspected bone stress injury?

The answer to that question generally ranges from “no” to “absolutely f****g not” ❌

The anterior tibia is one of the latter.

Images from running injuries course. Much of what I know about bone stress injuries is thanks to his courses and research 🙏

GO LONG OR GO HOME 🏃

Marathon Long Runs

How much is too much?

While long runs are the absolute essential of a marathon training block, I think a lot of runners end up running far too long. Especially beginners.

It’s clear that longer runs and higher weekly volumes of training equate to better marathon finish times.

However,

This study from Fokkema et al., (2020) showed that runs of over 35km don’t affect marathon performance, when compared to 30-35km runs.

I.e. longer isn’t always better…. Phew! 😅

This suggests there is a point of diminishing returns, and this may be different for everyone.

The recovery time from long long efforts can take so long to recover from that they actually detract from future training and racing performance.

There is a sweet spot here.

For beginner runners, it may actually be detrimental to go over 3 hours or over 35km.

For more experiences runners, there is a pay off between intensity and volume in a training plan.

We see influencers and pro athletes doing huge sessions on here. and that’s fine because they’ve built up towards this (in most cases)

But don’t feel you HAVE to run that distance just becuase you’ve seen someone else do it. The evidence doesn’t support it.

Remember, the body doesn’t recognise distance. It just feels training load and the marathon is unique in the fact that you won’t cover the distance prior to race day.
This can be a challenge psychologically.

Think, what am I gaining by running over 3 hours?

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Happy running 😁

As proven at the end of this video I’m a daft, clumsy physio.

I’m also a self confessed AI sceptic but sometimes tech comes along that makes your job 10X easier and improves patient care.

This is one of those times.
hip.physio recommended trying recently.

Seeing 20+ patients a day in a busy GP setting can melt your brain but working with my new best mate Heidi has been a total game changer.
