Physical Performance Tests for Runners

Reference Sheet + Checklist

Physical Performance Tests for Runners reference sheet and checklist PDF cover

I take every runner through a strategic battery of physical performance tests based on the demands of running. These tests help me identify gaps, guide programming, and determine whether an athlete is truly ready to return to training.

I’ve never seen someone pass this test battery with an active or incompletely rehabbed injury.

Inside this FREE PDF, you’ll get:

  • The 14 exact tests I use (in the order I use them)
  • Clear passing criteria for each test
  • Demo video access for every test
  • A print-ready checklist for use in the clinic
