RUNNING KNEE MEMBERSHIP
Train through it.
Not around it.
Most knee pain in runners isn't a reason to stop; it's a sign of a strength or loading deficit that hasn't been measured yet.
This membership keeps you running, with VALD data tracking exactly what your knee needs, every season.
71%
of runners get a knee related injury within a 12 month period
4-7x
of bodyweight going through the front of your knee per stride.
12wk
is the avg. time lost per knee injury when you are told to rest.
THE PATTERN
Rest, return, re-injure. Then do it again.
Runner's knee, ITB pain, patellar tendinopathy always follow the same cycle. Pain shows up whilst training, you rest until it settles and as soon as you start up again the pain comes back. Nobody is trying to break the cycle

I have had the same knee issue on and off for years. Rest helps for a bit, but then it comes back.

WHY FORCE DATA, BEFORE STRENGTH PROGRAMME
See the deficit, then fix it.
You can use force platforms and strength testing equipment to see where the deficits are. You can visualise strength gaps, asymmetries and load tolerances in real time. Not only will you overcome injuries, but you will learn how to prevent them through a training block.
Single-leg loading
Force platform
Reveals which leg is absorbing more force on landing and the capacity of each leg.
Are your legs strong enough to take the load of running without eventually breaking down?
Reactive strength index
Force platform jumps
Check how explosive you are, which is closely related to running economy.
Are you as elastic as the average person? Runners need to be better.
Glute & Quad strength
Dynamo isometric
Quad strength is the most important physical attribute to prevent knee injuries in runners.
Are you at risk of going around the vicious cycle?
Return to run criteria
Combined data targets
A clear objective answer to: am I ready to return to running?
Take out the guess work that comes with rest.
