01 Shoes’ performance
Here you can see how you performed in each pair of shoes. We look at three key metrics, Energy return, Shock absorption and Stride consistency on a scale 0 - 10. The best pair in each category is highlighted with a label.
02 Runner profile
Based on your performance, we reveal which type of runner you are together with the pros and cons characteristic of your profile. There are six fundamental runner profiles and they have been found using cluster analysis on a biomechanical dataset of 50k runners.

Profile Overview
Your runner profile has a good performance in long distances due to the high cadence, which helps to reduce the body impact. In order to improve speed performance, you can strengthen your glutes and hamstrings with speedwork and uphill running. This will result in more propulsion and longer strides.
Pros
- Low injury risk due to a quick leg turnover
- Great technique for marathons
- Good bounce capacity
Cons
- The speed performance decreases in the final stretch of the race, as the maximum speed is constrained by the rapid movement of the body segments.
- Passive propultion

03 Energy expenditure
Energy expenditure is the amount of energy your body uses when running. Energy is spent on work against gravity and work to move the body limbs but energy is also returned in the elastic bounce with the ground.
