Lumo Run - the Running Coach for Every Runner (iPhone only)

The company that made this product has ceased trading as of June 2018 and the software is no longer available for new customers. THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT WORK and in my opinion should no longer be up for sale.

Great product, is working really well. I was dubious at first but this product provides great coaching methods and tips to improve. I have totally changed my running form and it is improving my overall time. The lumo device needs charging every 5th run, assuming 5-10k runs, which isn't too bad. The app is great and your phone isn't required to run as it syncs. I'm not sure if i'll continue using beyond 6-12months as I may have outlived the usefulness of the coaching, but if you are looking to reduce injuries and improve times then this is worth it to get the head start!

Great self-coaching product! It not only measures your Gait a few different ways, it tells you how you compare to other runners (what are you doing well, what's not so good about your gait) and if you should work on improving a specific aspect (like braking), gives you exercises to practice that will lead to improvement. A great product, very easy to use and very easy to understand/apply to my running - would thoroughly recommend it.

I was quite enjoying using my Lumo run and I have to say I was starting to see improvements in my running form. One great feature was the ability to run without your phone and sync with Strava for distance and time metrics etc when you get back from run. All of a sudden, this seemed to stop working for me. I left it for a while and it still wasn't syncing so I decided to un-pair and re-pair with my Strava account, this didn't work at all. On further it investigation seems Lumo have been acquired and the new owners are not making or selling these devices anymore and more importantly no longer supporting the device. I gave it 2 stars because it was good while I was able to use all the features but it's pretty useless in the current state it is now in.

Having spent a considerable amount of money on this for my partner's birthday (he's a keen runner), he was unfortunately disappointed. Overall he found the commentary discouraging and critical rather than supportive, although one can turn it off but it was rather unreliable anyway. He recommends downloading STRAVA instead.

Works really well for run training (hence +1 star), but... Since iOS 12 the app keeps disconnecting from the device and Lumo (the company) has been sold. So no more warranty, support, or anything else. Also, the buying company will pull the app out of the App Store around March 2019 so after that day this gadget will become a very light and very expensive paperweight.

Has really helped me with my running technique.

Good tool for improving running technique. Better integration with garmin would be desirable.
