Run faster without injuries? Then run smarter. An insole with 32 sensors supports you in this.
Whether in trousers, shirts or your shoes - sensors as far as the eye can see. Smart sports equipment has long been a trend. The Nurvv run insoles contain 32 sensors that enable coaching both during and after your run thanks to a mobile app and GPS. Thanks to the feedback, you can keep up to date with standard values such as cadence, stride length and pace. The sole also provides details about your movement. It recognises pronation and supination and registers whether you are running over your heel or forefoot.
The sole also tells you when you are reaching your performance limit. It is supposed to recognise running problems before they lead to injury. It also shows you when you are overtraining and when it is time to take a break. In addition to Android and IOS apps for your smartphone, there will also be Apple Watch and ANT+ (Garmin) pair-ups for tracking.
The fun is not cheap. According to Nurvv, the sole will go on sale from 20 January for 300 dollars. That's a lot of money for running stats, especially as there are already smart running shoes that perform similar tasks. However, the advantage of the Nurvv sole is that you can use it in any of your running shoes. It is not aimed at casual runners who are only interested in speed and calorie burn. It has been developed for dedicated runners.
