Android "RUNZI" App for data lovers

[Bazza1234]

I was planning on doing some experimenting next week to try to ascertain what running cadence feels "right" for me. I have short legs and I feel that I need to run at a high cadence to feel comfortable when running and much of the Podcasts and running music available is way too slow for me. I have a Metronome App in my Android phone as well as some music of different BPM's from Podrunner and I was going to use them in my experiment.

But now I have discovered RUNZI

It uses the phone's accelerometer to (among other things) monitor the beat of the feet and also measures the physical impact resulting from those footstrikes. This enables a more objective analysis of what impact my running form at different BPM's has (as well as the subjective feel that we all have when running)

Has anybody used it??

Sounds interesting. Wonder if it would work on my tablet

Hmm -- it is the sort of thing that you need to use on a phone, not a tablet -- unless of course you run with a tablet? It is Android only - not Apple ( that makes a pleasant change!!) and your phone would need an accelerometer which most modern smartphones have.
