Avelo is the world’s smartest running shoe and coaching app, built to help you become a faster, stronger, and more resilient runner. Powered by sensors embedded in a hyper-versatile, comfortable running shoe and a companion app with AI-powered Personal Running Intelligence (PRI). Pair once, then just run; Avelo tracks every step and provides insights to help you push your limits without setbacks. IMPACT SCORE Not all miles are equal. The Impact Score measures the mechanical load of each run, capturing how much force your muscles, tendons, and bones experience. This helps you understand the true stress of your running and train smarter, not just harder. RESILIENCY SCORE The Resiliency Score is your daily signal for how much training you can handle on the day and week ahead. It blends recent Impact with recovery trends to give you clear, daily guidance: push, hold steady, or recover. RUNNING SIGNATURE & FORM Your running form is as unique to you as your signature. Using data captured by the Avelo shoes, Avelo delivers insight on your form. PRI helps you monitor your form during runs and over time. Track progress and identify when fatigue, load, or stress cause meaningful deviations before they become problems. You’ll receive personalized recommendations to address areas for improvement, including mobility, strength training, and running form guidance. REAL-TIME AI COACHING PRI delivers real-time audio coaching during your runs, turning your data into actionable cues when they matter most. SEAMLESS INTEGRATION WITH YOUR EXISTING DATA Avelo connects with Apple Health, ensuring your training history stays complete even if you also run in other shoes. When you run in Avelo shoes, load and form is measured directly. When you run in other shoes, Avelo uses connected data to estimate Impact and maintain continuity in your Resiliency trends. With support for Garmin, Strava, and others coming soon, Avelo seamless fits into your existing routine. DESIGNED FOR RUNNERS WHO WANT TO IMPROVE Whether you’re training for your first 5K or chasing a marathon PR, Avelo helps you train with confidence, minimize setbacks, and stay consistent over months and years. FOUNDED THROUGH DEEP EXPERTISE Avelo is built by a team that includes seven PhDs advancing the science of running across biomechanics, exercise physiology, physical therapy, and sports medicine. The Avelo app is designed to work with Avelo smart running shoes, which contain the embedded sensors that power Impact, Resiliency, form insights and real-time coaching. Avelo provides training and performance insights, not medical diagnosis. Always listen to your body.
