[[File:RunScribe.jpg|right|thumb|500px|An overview of the data from RunScribe]]
RunScribe is a [[Running Sensors| Running Sensor]] that uses small [[Footpod]]s to measure aspects of your [[Running Form]]. It can allow you to find biomechanical problems like imbalances, determine how your running changes with [[Cadence]], different [[Shoes]], or intentional changes. I highly recommend [[RunScribe Plus]] adds real time data. '''Update: Having spent several years using RunScribeperiodically, which is rather more sophisticated than most Footpods as I've concluded that it 's not only has a 3-axis accelerometerable to provide useful insight. It provides so much data, I've believed that there must be something useful, but also a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis magnetometer allowing it 's not worked out. Part of the problem is the accuracy, which isn't good enough to find smaller differences. That seems to sense movement be made far betterworse by problems if the pods aren't mounted just right, leading to obviously bad data. But the biggest issue is that all the data doesn't lead to actionable insight. (I am currently testing 've found that [[RunScribe PlusStryd]], that promises real time data's Foot Path visualization is far easier to interpret and far more actionable.) '''
=How It Works=
You put a Footpod on each shoe, either attaching it to the laces like any other footpod. You can also clip them to the heels of your shoes or glue them in place. Then go for a run, and on your return upload the data to a smartphone app via Bluetooth. The analysis of your run is then available via the app or on their web site. (You can purchase a single Footpod, but I'd recommend getting two.)
