Over the past 6 years RunScribe has evolved into a comprehensive tool for understanding kinetic and kinematic information coming from the shoes and hence also the feet. In many cases the metrics generated reflect processes happening locally at or close to the feet. Others such as contact time, impact, ground reaction force and leg spring stiffness are influenced from more … Read More
RunScribe Comparative Data
Author – Luis Enrique Roche When in the laboratory setting, as we assess how an athlete runs, we turn around over and over again the same questions: Are these normal values? Is this impact too high? Is that pronation velocity considered as a usual parameter for this level of runner? It is well-known that every single person exhibits a very … Read More
Shoe Ride Visualizations
As a progression to the ShoePrint framework that we launched early last year, I’m excited to announce our new ShoeRide visualizations! Where ShoePrints allowed you to see where on your shoe you were landing and taking-off, our ShoeRides now show the entire ground contact progression, from foot strike to toe off and all points in-between. We capture the stance progression … Read More

NYC Marathon 2018 (Part 2) – ShoePrints
We were fortunate enough to collect data from 36 different runners at the 2018 NYC Marathon. Combined, they covered 943 miles in 1,356,559 steps, with RunScribe pods dutifully recording every single step. … and no two ShoePrint Contact Signatures are the same …
NYC Marathon 2018 (Part 1) – The Vaporfly Phenomenon
We were stoked to be back in NYC for the 2018 Marathon – getting pods out to over 50 runners to capture their data as they ran on what would turn out to be a perfect day in NYC! Positioning ourselves in Central Park at the Mile 25 marker, we watched (and waited), looking for pods while runners flew past … Read More
Inside Trail – Santa Cruz – Race Report
The week before our RunScribe Plus announcement, we had the pleasure of getting out from in front of our screens, heading down to Felton, a little town outside of Santa Cruz, CA. Inside Trail hosts a series of trail runs, with distances typically ranging from 10K to 30K, with some races including a 50K. We took down 12 demo sets, … Read More

UNLV Research Study — Validation
UNLV/RunScribe Study — Summer 2016 Purpose: The primary purpose of the project was to compare RunScribe metrics with high speed video and motion capture data measurements over an expanded range of running speeds and fitness levels. A secondary purpose was to investigate possible relationships between RunScribe metrics and running economy. Methods: Subjects Subjects: 23 runners. The runners represent a wide … Read More
