Lumo Run, launched for pre-sale in October 2015, incorporates the personal attention of a running coach with the professional data of a lab. It measures running biomechanics like cadence, bounce and pelvic stability to guide your running form, improving your overall efficiency and performance. Lumo Run is currently available for pre-order online and is expected to ship spring 2016.

"Monisha and the team have created a product that allows runners and coaches to easily understand and interpret metrics that improve performance, and there is nothing in the market that provides as much useful information to the runner as Lumo Run," said Mastalir. "As someone who loves to run and compete, I'm proud to be a part of a team pushing the boundaries of the sport."
