What is the DRT Performance Lab?

The DRT Performance Lab is a high-tech gym and athlete assessment centre based in Welling, London. It was designed and built specifically for DRT Coaching with athlete development at its centre, and is where I hold running assessments and movement screenings of the athletes I coach.

What is the DRT Performance Lab used for?

When you sign up to a coaching package from DRT Coaching, you’ll get two initial assessments which will take place in the Lab. These are:

1. Running technique assessment

   • By assessing your running technique, I am able to assess your strengths and weaknesses, and identify areas in your technique where you may need to improve. We will then work together through the introduction of specific drills incorporated into your warm-up routine to address these.

2. Strength and Conditioning movement screening

   • By conducting a movement screening, I am able to assess your proficiency in various movements required of you in both strength and conditioning exercises and running. Your ability and the results from this screening will not only inform the exercises I prescribe you in your training plan, however also the intensity and loading of each exercise.
