### 5/5 — Nothing else comes close

*2021-03-01*

There are a lot of foot pods around for running, but nothing collects, analyzes and displays data about your stride anywhere close to what the Runscribe pods do. The app (and complementary web site) are easy to use, intuitive, stable, powerful and visually stunning.  The whole package of hardware and software are truly an engineering marvel and powerful tools for runners, coaches and physical therapists.  I saw a picture of Eliud Kipchoge (current fastest marathon runner in the world) wearing a pair.

### 5/5 — Fantastic product and app!

*2018-11-16*

I am working on run technique during the triathlon off season. So motivating to see data fields that show the impact of my work!  Today, I saw an improvement in flight time!  Woohoo!  I take screen shots of my data and send them to my coach in the evening!

### 5/5 — Great app and improving hardware
