I don’t do standard gait analysis. I don’t believe it gives you enough information to take a practical, apply now approach to improving your running or getting out of pain.
Instead, I do in-depth, highly personalised running assessments designed for every standard of runner.
Due to high demand, I am not currently taking on any new athletes for assessments or for coaching.
(This does not affect direct referrals from therapists)
Frustrated with the lack of consitency in the results I was seeing through traditional training methods, I started to ask why?
What I discovered changed how I train and coach…
When I understood that everything is a ‘brain function’, it altered the way I look at pain, running, exercise, fitness and life… forever.
I take a brain-centric, neurobiomechanical approach to gait analysis, running form training, pain modulation and our journey through life.
Rest assured though, this is real neuroscience, not psuedoscience – no woo-woo fluff here, just real results for real people no matter how old you are.

The Man Behind RunTeach
Overweight and constantly out of puff, Chris started running at the age of 38 to get fit enough to spend quality active time with his soon-to-be-born twin daughters. It was a journey that would take him from a 60 minute 10k in 2009 to a 38 minute 10k in 2015, and a 02:59:04 marathon in 2017. Along the way, Chris has placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd in 10ks, 5ks and pairs 24-hour endurance races.
While Chris is no elite runner, he is living proof that attention to running technique, correct movement patterns and mindful practice can rocket you from an everyday recreational runner to the top few percent in both local and national running events.
Chris’ motivation to set up RunTeach came from his desire to share what he has learned and to help other runners achieve their running goals, no matter what level they are currently at. Chris’ passion is to provide the tools and understanding so that runners can learn to move properly and therefore reduce their injury risk and increase performance.
With training in biomechanics, dynamic movement skills and sports nutrition, Chris is a qualified UKA Level 2 coach in Endurance Running. He shares his knowledge and understanding through fully comprehensive gait analysis, rehab and prehab, coaching and live workshops. Chris works with athletes at all levels from the couch to 5k graduates to competitive club runners.
Chris is lucky enough to be one of the few gait analysis and coaching companies in the UK to use the cutting edge technology from dorsaVi that measures key aspects of your running gait to produce detailed reports that highlight areas of concern and potential risk.
Chris is an ambassador for:
- Generation UCAN, a one-of-a-kind race fuel that utilises ultra-slow release carbohydrate that doesn’t raise your blood glucose. It still allows your body to burn fat as a fuel source rather than relying on sugar with the inevitable crash. Ideal for high intensity sessions/races and long distance running.

My Mission
My misson is to help runners of all abilities reach their goals by using the most efficient, effective, simple and quick techniques possible.
I do this through gait analysis and running assessments as well as one to one services covering many towns and villages in Dorset and Hampshire including Bournemouth, Ferndown, Poole, Verwood, Alderholt, Wimborne, Bransgore, Ringwood, Dorchester and a whole lot more.
I also run workshops and am always delighted when a running club or group asks me to create and deliver a workshop especially for them. Presenting is very high up there on my list of things I’m passionate about!
Through this website I bring together not only the best of my advice and experience, but also that of other runners, coaches and suppliers from around the globe.
I’m always looking for new and innovative ways to help runners keep on improving, so if you have any ideas, please get in touch here.
