An Irishman Abroad

Gait analysis is rightly or wrongly something a lot of runners fear from a cost and mortification point of view. This week Jarlath reluctantly submits to having his gait analysed by the brilliant Irish chi running coach Emer O'Brien (fitnesswithemer.ie). Sonia admits why even she hates seeing the reality of her running technique played back to her.
