The Running School

We recommend the 'Certified Running Technique Specialist'. This is our flagship and most in-demand course, this certification offers the highest level of training in running analysis and technique re-education. The programme takes 6–8 months to complete, no matter which learning pathway you choose (in-person, hybrid, or online). Many graduates go on to become respected leaders and trusted experts within their field. You’ll develop highly sought-after skills in analysing running biomechanics and, more importantly, the specialised coaching methods that improve technique, enhance efficiency, and reduce injury risk. Understanding movement is one thing—being able to transform a runner’s technique is another. Throughout this programme, you’ll gain the expertise to do both with confidence and precision.

We recommend the 'Biomechanics of Running: Analysis and Re-Education' course. This CPD course will cover the fundamentals of 2D running analysis, allowing you to determine why your clients are getting injured. Most of the course will focus on the analysis both on and off the treadmill. A concise module on the fundamentals of running re-education in a group/outdoor setting will be covered. You will learn skills that you can use immediately in your practice. This is a 2-day course for the in-person option and the equivalent content will be covered in the online option at self-paced learning within 3 months. For those interested in the full CRTS Programme but unable to commit to its duration at this time, the three-day CRTC offers a flexible starting point. Should you choose to progress to the CRTS in the future, completion of the CRTC will be fully recognised, with the module credited and its fee applied toward the programme.
