GaitLab Coach: Run Pain-Free

About this app

Your running form isn't fixed. It's coachable. Most nagging running pain comes from how you move: overstriding, hip drop, a heel that lands too far ahead of you. Those are form patterns. And form patterns can change. GaitLab Coach shows you exactly what yours are doing, ties them to your injury, and gives you a plan to coach them out. Here's how it works: record a 60-second side-view video, flag your injury, and our AI reads your gait frame by frame. You get a 1–10 form score, the specific flaws driving your pain, and a 4-week plan to fix them. Knee pain after every run? Shin splints back? Flag up to 4 specific injuries (Runner's Knee, IT Band Syndrome, Shin Splints, Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendinitis, Patellar Tendinitis, Hip Bursitis, Piriformis, and more) and the analysis targets the form patterns behind YOUR pain — not generic advice. WHY GAITLAB COACH: Most "running form" apps stop at vague feedback — "good posture," "work on your stride." GaitLab Coach is built around one idea: your form is coachable, and you can't coach what you can't see. Every finding is anchored to the exact moment in your video and the exact number to change — so you know what's wrong, why, and what to do about it. The method behind it is backed by a randomized trial that cut runner injury risk 62% over a year (Chan et al., American Journal of Sports Medicine).
