...apparently. New Scientist article here newscientist.com says some software that gives you an electric shock when landing on your heel is the Shiny New Thing for running technique |

Err, yes... That seems like an idea. Definitely an idea. But then so is duct taping a pebble in the heel of your shoe... Not sure either is any better than the other ![]() Or of course, you could just try running barefoot. Free feedback for heel striking straight away.... But it's hard to sell that as a product or monetise it ![]() |

Nice quote from article "This is even though the jury is still out on exactly what the best running style is" Ok maybe sort that first... (which is a whole million page thread in its own right). |

Indeed, as iirc there is a rather large thread on running economy that encompasses gait in all its forms on here ![]() But it's a _product_ so if they are going to sell it, it must be worth something right? Else why put it up for sale ![]() |
