==High Speed Video Analysis==
Visual inspection of a runner is good, but the movements of running occur quickly and it's tricky for even the most experienced person to catch the details. [[High Speed Video Analysis]] is a far better option and can be done reasonably cheaply.
==Wearable Running Sensors==
There are a growing number of wearable [[Running Sensors]] that will analyze your biomechanics. The majority of these devices use accelerometers to detect patterns of movement and provide interpretation. The key sensors are the [[Footpod]], Garmin's [[Running Dynamics]], and [[RunScribe]]. See [[Running Sensors]] for more details.
