Run-It Intelligence helps you find the shoes that work best for the way you actually run. Connect Garmin or Stryd and turn your running data into practical shoe, fatigue and biomechanics insights. Run-It analyzes signals like cadence, ground contact time, stride length, duty factor, vertical ratio, pace and heart-rate drift to understand how your mechanics change across different runs, speeds, fatigue levels and shoes. Instead of guessing which shoes suit you, Run-It helps you compare how different shoes perform with your running style and goals. Use Run-It to: - Get shoe recommendations based on your running mechanics - Compare shoes by efficiency, fatigue response and training purpose - Track shoe rotation, mileage and performance trends - Understand your running signature in it's purest form - Review biomechanical trends from Garmin or Stryd data - See when form, fatigue or heart-rate drift changes during a session and over time - Unlock deeper Pro analysis on iOS through Apple in-app purchase Run-It is built for runners who want to choose shoes with better data, not guesswork. It provides training insights, not medical advice, and does not diagnose, treat or prevent injuries or medical conditions.
