The Runner's MOT
Assess.
Understand.
Improve.
A comprehensive running strength and performance assessment designed to identify strengths, weaknesses and asymmetries — followed by a personalised 12-week strength programme based on your results.
Understand Your Running
Strength isn't just about how much you can lift.
Running places repeated demands on the body. Strength, stability, control, muscular endurance, elasticity and the ability to produce force all contribute to how we cope with those demands.
The Runner's MOT gives you a structured way to assess these qualities rather than simply guessing which areas of your strength work need attention.
Your results are then used to identify priorities and create a personalised programme designed around what your assessment actually shows.
15 Tests
A structured battery of running-specific strength and performance assessments.
0–3 Scoring
A simple scoring system helps identify stronger areas and development priorities.
Asymmetry
Left and right sides are considered separately where the test allows it.
12 Weeks
Your assessment leads into an individual strength programme before you retest.

What Does The MOT Assess?
Looking beyond one measure of strength.
The Runner's MOT looks at a range of physical qualities relevant to running. Rather than focusing on one isolated test, the assessment helps build a broader picture of your current strengths and development priorities.
Strength
Assessing important strength qualities that support the repeated demands of running.
Single-Leg Control
Looking at your ability to control movement when working independently through each side.
Muscular Endurance
Considering your ability to maintain muscular performance across repeated efforts.
Stability & Control
Assessing control and stability through movements relevant to running.
Power
Looking at qualities associated with producing force and dynamic movement.
Lower-Leg Function
Considering important qualities through the calf, ankle and lower leg.
Movement Quality
Looking at how effectively you control a range of running-relevant movement patterns.
Left / Right Balance
Comparing sides where appropriate to help identify meaningful differences and development priorities.
The individual tests, assessment protocols and scoring criteria form part of the Runner's MOT package and are provided after purchase.
Who Is It For?
You don't need to be an elite runner to benefit.
The Runner's MOT is suitable for runners who want to take a more structured approach to their strength and conditioning, whatever distance or level they currently run.
