Stop guessing. Start understanding your running form. Why do some runs feel effortless and others don't? RunForm reveals the two things that actually explain it β no charts to decode, no data overload. Just two clear numbers that show whether you're getting fitter and running smoother: β Heart4Speed β This is our running engine (heart) efficiency. Heart4Speed shows how much speed you generate for every heartbeat. It combines aerobic fitness and running economy into a single, easy-to-understand number. β Track fitness improvements over time β See how efficiently your body converts effort into movement In simple terms: are you getting more out of every beat of your heart? β SmoothOperator β This is your running smoothness and movement efficiency. Every step you take sends energy in two directions: forward (useful) and upward (wasted). SmoothOperator measures how much of that energy actually drives you forward. β Improve running form and reduce wasted energy β Run smoother, not harder Itβs a direct view into how efficiently you move with every stride. Built for real runners. RunForm is designed to make complex biomechanics simple and useful: β Clear, focused metrics you can trust β No clutter - just actionable insights β Track progress across runs and over time β Turn data into better running RunForm helps you answer the questions that matter: β Am I becoming more efficient? β Is my form improving? β Am I wasting energy as I fatigue? Works with your existing data. Connect with Apple Health and start analysing your runs instantly β no extra devices or setup required. RunForm doesnβt just track your runs. It helps you understand them β so you can improve with purpose.
