Last Saturday we partnered with to host a running workshop. Fifteen runners, wearable sensors, and force portraits that show exactly what’s happening when you run. 🏃♀️
One runner scored a 99. The rest of us? We had some things to work on. 😅
1️⃣ This is Diego. He’s 17, just signed to run at Eastern Oregon, and a few months ago got bored at 4pm and (naturally) decided to do a 24-hour ultra starting at midnight. 48 miles. Because he was bored. His force portrait is about as clean as it gets.
2️⃣ And then there’s the rest of us. This is a solid runner with a performance score of 71, but there’s still room to improve. Most of us looked something like this.
3️⃣ Cadence matters. 🕰️This runner was at 148 steps per minute (the target is around 180). Lower cadence usually means longer strides, which means more braking with every step.
4️⃣ This one shows a hip mobility score of 34 on one side and 67 on the other. ⚖️ When one hip is that much tighter, your body compensates. Usually that means your back, knee, or Achilles starts picking up the slack.
5️⃣ See how much wider this force portrait is? That’s lateral movement, energy going sideways instead of forward. Usually means hip strength needs work.
6️⃣ The good news: these are patterns, not permanent problems. Almost everyone at the workshop needed a flavor of the same two things: hip flexor mobility and higher cadence.
We’re now using this tech in our running assessments. You get the force portrait (the picture of what’s happening), plus our eyes on your movement, plus a custom plan to actually fix what we find. The sensor is crazy cool. What we can do with it when paired with a running assessment is the part you can’t DIY.
