Running Form Analyzer!

Happy Sunday! I said I'd do one of these for running - here it is!

Same stack as the bike fit, pointed at your running gait:

Film yourself side-on for 30 seconds. It tracks every joint and grades your cadence, overstride and trunk lean against published running research, then draws a colored skeleton on the video - green = dialed, red = fix.

It won't tell you heel striking is bad. The research I was learning doesn't actually back that (curious if any coaches in here have a stance on this?). It measures where your foot lands relative to your body instead, which seems to be the biggest thing that matters.

I filmed myself running badly on purpose to see if it'd catch me. Hunched over, it flagged my trunk at 18 degrees. Upright and leaning back, -4. My normal easy run came back all green - 171 cadence, foot landing 3 degrees ahead.

Full guide and prompt here: https://www.skool.com/athlete-ai-community/classroom/c89bd042?md=96ea272c181b40adb86633879f46f8f3

Let me know all your thoughts and hope this helps some folks!
