Workshops and Gait Analyses are something we love putting on at Alpha Project Phyzio & Performance! A question you may have is,” why do we put on workshops” and” What is a gait assessment/analyses?”.

This is something we love doing and is a great opportunity for you, to learn valuable skills to continue running well into your 60’s, 70’s, and older!

We spend a lot of time talking about the right footwear to wear while running (and rightfully so!), but what about the other hours in the day? Finding attractive, supportive shoes can be difficult, especially in the summer. That's why we were pretty excited when we heard Superfeet was coming out with their new Outside sandals this year and think you will be, too.
As a general rule, I have been told 300-500 miles should be the life expectancy of a pair of running shoes. I had just passed 300 miles in my Brooks Ghost, so I stopped by Charm City Run. My buddy Tom hooked me up with a pair of the new Under Armour Speedform Gemini 2 Record - a shoe that tracks distance (and more), untethered - and asked me to try them out.
