If you increase your weekly volume by more than 10%, you aren't building endurance, you are inviting overuse injuries like shin splints or runner's knee. My approach centers on 3D gait analysis and unilateral strength training, ensuring your body is biomechanically prepared to handle the impact of every stride before you chase that new personal best. ### Moving Beyond Guesswork Many of the runners who visit my clinic in Greater Kailash-1 start with the same frustration: they are training hard but getting slower. Running is a high-impact, unilateral sport, meaning every step shifts your entire body weight onto one leg. If your mechanics are off, no amount of extra running will fix the inefficiency. This is why I use 3D gait analysis to identify exactly what is causing your pain or slowing you down. ### The Science of Training Smart I structure programs around specific principles to remove the guesswork from your training: * **The 80/20 Rule:** You should do 80% of your mileage at a conversational, easy pace. If every run feels like a race, your body never fully recovers to build speed. * **Unilateral Strength:** Because running is a single-leg sport, your strength training must include single-leg deadlifts, split squats, and glute work. This fixes imbalances that cause injuries like Achilles tendonitis or IT band syndrome. * **Controlled Progression:** I apply strict load management. We don't spike your mileage. We increase volume slowly to let your tendons and muscles adapt to the load. ### Your Path to a Better Run Whether you are training for the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon or just trying to get through a 5k without knee pain, the solution is the same: treat the root cause. I analyze your form, check your cadence, and build a strength plan that targets the weak links in your kinetic chain. You will get a plan that integrates into your life in Delhi, accounting for the heat, your schedule, and your unique goals. Stop running in pain and start training for results. ## About Paridhi Ojha I am Dr. Paridhi Ojha, a sports physiotherapist and long-time runner.
