    About the Startup

    Describe your product in 3 words.

    Running coach wearable

    How did you come up with the idea for this product?

    The core mission of Lumo Bodytech is to help unlock the human potential and empower our users to lead healthier, more active lifestyles through the integration of technology. All three of Lumo Bodytech’s co-founders are avid runners who have experienced injury themselves from poor running form and increased their performance by improving their running form. Lumo Run was the natural next step for our company.

    What makes your product special?

    The Lumo Run takes the power of a running lab and the personal touch of a coach and combines the two in an easy to use wearable device. Proper running form helps people run more efficiently and effectively. The Lumo Run sits on the small of the back where it can accurately measure traditional metrics, like cadence, as well as metrics related to the pelvis, including drop and rotation, which are key for reducing the risk of injury and increasing performance.

    What has been the best part of your startup experience?

    Helping people move better. Getting personal stories from people about how they are achieving their goals using Lumo products.

Exercise recommendations and "tips" videos5. New run goal based on metrics from past runsAs a running gadget enthusiast, I had to find out what Lumo was all about so I ordered one. When you open the box, you'll encounter the Lumo, a slip-on type clip, and a USB cord. You are instructed to charge the device, install an app on your phone and create an account. The instruction leaflet tells you to clip the Lumo to your pants/shorts waistband on the back, whereabouts your spine is, then open the app on your phone, and go for a run at least 10minutes long.After each run, the Lumo will introduce what it thinks you should work on next: cadence, bounce, breaking, drop or rotation. Cadence is how often your feet touch the ground, bounce is a measure of how much up and down motion is happening during your run, breaking is deceleration that happens while your feet is touching the ground, drop and rotation are measures of hip movement.From time to time (which can be adjusted to be every half, 1 or 2 miles or 1, 2, 3 or 5 minutes) Lumo will give you feedback. If you are meeting the goal for the metric in this run, you hear a chime. If you are not, a sad trumpet ("womp-womp") type of sound. Sometimes, it will also give you some advice, some of which I found useful ("remember to run like you are running through puddles trying to not make a splash") and others not so much ("remember to run like a horse"). What? What if I do not know how a horse runs? To be fair, the app has "tips" videos demonstrating these things. Based on how you are doing, the app will suggest some exercises (both pre-run and post-run) that might help you.While Lumo works well outdoors, Lumo has limitations on a treadmill. It will log a ridiculous pace and distance and, to my knowledge, there is no way to correct them. The Lumo team should seriously consider allowing users to edit indoor runs to manually input the distance, time and speed as to not completely mess up the trends graphs. The other metrics seem to be more or less unaffected.Minor issues I've encountered while running with Lumo:If you run with a hydration belt, it can push the clip out of your shorts.If you run with a hydration pack, it can hit over the Lumo and skew your data.There is no run/walk interval mode or option that I could find, so if you walk your running cadence and braking will be skewed.Lumo is small, black, and attached to a black clip - very easy to misplace.Overall, so far I like the Lumo. However, I hope the Lumo team can do some fine tuning with the software to make it better for indoor use as well.

    Do not buy this item. While it works well, the company that made it ceased operations on June 29th, 2018. The software is only available for about seven more months and will never be updated. A real pity, as this product had the potential to be a truly useful running metric/form device. It only works with Apple phones, not android. It is durable (I actually washed mine by accident, and it still worked), and gives great advice and drills to improve your running form. I believe that it could have been a very successful product with proper development, marketing, and management. Sad that this is not to be.

    So far this thing has been awesome. After playing around with it for a little bit, I used it for real on the 2017 Santa Cruz Wharf to Wharf (10K), and I swear the coaching allowed me to run faster and further than ever before. I am only just getting back into running after a ten year pause, and ten years ago my form sucked. I got away with it because I was ten years younger(!). So there are really three parts to the product.

    1. The little device that you clip to your waistband. Seems to work perfectly so far. It's small and weighs next to nothing, so you never even know it's there. It comes in a little rubberized holder with the clip and I do wonder how sturdy that is over the long term. Battery life also seems fine. I'm not a marathoner, so I have no idea how well this would hold up over a long run, but I've forgotten to charge it on non running days and it's been fine, so it'll hold charge for at least a few days. The only issues that I've had are a few bluetooth dropouts and app crashes. BUT I'm running iOS 11 public Beta, so I'm guess the problems are Apple related and not Lumo.

    2. The app. Pretty good. In fact, it seems more stable and snappier than MapMyRun, which tends to get into a funk sometimes. It has mostly the same functionality as apps like MapMyRun and much more because you get the coaching tips. I'm using Apple AirPods (I usually run with only one) and an iPhone 7 with iOS 11 Public Beta installed.

    3. The coaching tips and videos. I'm really pretty impressed with this. The app analyses your running style and suggests exercises to focus on for improvements. These come with really nice short videos so it's clear what they're recommending. I'm focusing on cadence.

    I really enjoy using my Lumo Run to help coach me during my runs and to help remind me of my form and posture as I am running especially when I start getting tired. I unfortunately lost my tracker last weekend as I forgot to take it off when I was done running and ended up sitting and doing a bunch of stuff after my workout and it fell off. So one word of advise is to make sure and take it off when done running to avoid losing the tracker. I am purchasing a second one and will make sure to take better care of it!

    It's fine, I guess. For me, the metrics are mostly in the green, and for the one that isn't, the feedback isn't useful to the point that my performance on the metric gets worse when I try to follow it. Making it worse still, the app is incredibly chatty and obnoxious, even when you have it set to chimes only (the "immediate feedback" they advertise). Even with those settings, it will still break into whatever you're listening to with an unnecessarily lengthy introduction (hey, Lumo, I know what I'm working on because I OPENED THE APP, I don't need to be told again) and then an EXPLANATION OF THE CHIMES. EVERY TIME. The app is so irritating that I've stopped running with it on, and the feedback is mostly useless, so I'm pretty much done running with the device, too.
