![]() ![]() A bit of adjustment may be required by Lumo as the negative chime is often rapidly followed, when you get back on track, by a positive chime which can be a bit confusing. I have welcomed the positive feedback chimes and jumped a bit when I heard the negative tuba chime-when you go off the goal for a period of time. Reasonable goals are implemented in the release version now on sale. For me it is cadence and instead of the "standard" 180 steps per minute Lumo is trying to get me to 175. ![]() I suggested for example if you are way off the benchmark for a metric, start with more reasonable goals. might make some of us geeks happier but for 90% of users there is just the right amount of data and flexibility to set feedback to preferences.ĭuring my testing I provided Lumo feedback. Sure more extensive graphing and feedback on and comparisons of two metrics at once on a given run. The screens are clear and easy to understand, yet just data rich enough for even a geek. ![]() 9-axis IMU (Inertial Motion Measuring Unit).The sensor pod itself is a marvel of engineering and includes: My testing and their improvements and fixes as I run with Lumo Run tell me they will launch with a very polished and effective run form system. Overall the system is very well executed from flawless communication of sensor to app to the algorithms analyzing the data which have been extensively tested and verified in development by testing against sophisticated lab run and biomechanics equipment, stuff well out of the the reach of the average runner. The app includes a pre run video demo of the form tip du jour (system or user selected), optional configurable in run audio live feedback for the metric and for tip reminders, and then post run exercises to improve the metrics, your run stats, and a view of trends for all of the metrics. ![]() They are lightyears ahead with this kind of thinking.” - Mark Allen, Six-Time Ironman Champion Here is what Mark Allen says about Lumo Run: “Lumo is the only company that is measuring what is going on at the core of the body and utilizing that information to determine every important metric of motion in running. I think their approach is far more actionable than trying to change foot strike, if this is really even possible for most without dealing with the areas of the body, the "core", which I think really determine form and running efficiency. Lumo targets the center of your body, the pelvis and hips the area that is the driving engine of running. Lumo Run does not focus on the formerly oh so popular heel vs mid foot strike or strictly on cadence, the lower portion of the legs as many run form tech companies do. I am cross train lazy, hate the gym, and after 45 years of running have a real need to work on my form, particularly my stiff hips and pelvis. On sale August 1st at Lumo, Lumo Run is the first form and exercise tool I have seen and used that I am actually following. According to Lumo improve the Pillars and you can become a more efficient faster runner with less chance of injury. The system currently measures five run form metrics, Lumo calls them the 5 Pillars of Running Form: pelvic rotation, pelvic drop, cadence, bounce, and brake.
