Kora uses the motion sensors in your AirPods to measure how your posture behaves during your run and shows you exactly where it starts to give way. POSTURE AND MECHANICS Each run becomes a stability index from 0 to 100, with head tilt, lateral sway, vertical impact, and cadence. WHERE FORM GIVES WAY The stability graph marks the kilometer at which signs of fatigue appear, and what the pattern is: head falling forward or lateral sway increasing. A COACH WHO REMEMBER The Insights tab tracks your trends throughout your runs: how well you maintain your form, whether it's improving, and what your fatigue signature is. THE BASICS, DONE RIGHT GPS, pace, distance, heart rate, calories, map route, goals, Live Activity, widgets, and synchronization with the Health app. ON APPLE WATCH Start your run from your wrist, track live metrics, and see the summary with the posture index at the end.
