How FormStride keeps runners healthy

We're not a dashboard. We're the coach who tells you when to back off, what drill to do this week, and how your sleep is showing up in your stride.

1. Record 10 seconds on your phone

Side-on, full body in frame. A treadmill or flat path works best — no special gear, no upload, no waiting.

2. We spot injury risks early

Your browser tracks 17 body keypoints and turns them into a plain-language injury risk score. Shin splints, runner's knee, IT band — we flag what's brewing before it bites.

3. Fix it with drills + lifestyle

Every flag comes with a 2-minute drill that fixes it. A daily 15-second lifestyle check-in (sleep, soreness, fueling) shapes your plan so you recover as well as you train.

Privacy by default

Pose detection runs entirely in your browser. We only save the computed numbers and one still-frame thumbnail to your account. Your raw video stays in memory and is discarded when you leave the page.

A note on coaching

"Perfect form" depends on pace, distance, body type, and goals. FormStride gives you healthy ranges and friendly guidance — not a diagnosis. Stop running and consult a professional if you experience pain or injury.
