We make shoes. Better for you. Better for the environment. In 2004, Terra Plana became pioneers of the barefoot movement by launching VIVOBAREFOOT, the first minimalist shoe with a patented, ultra thin puncture resistant sole that offers maximum sensory feedback and maximum protection. 70% of your brainÍs information for movement comes from the nerves on the soles of your feet. The more you can feel the ground, the greater your bodyÍs understanding of its surroundings and natural movement. In 2010, the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Harvard University, both released studies to support that barefoot reduces injuries, reserves energy, and improves technique. As scientific support for barefoot health grows, so does demand for VIVOBAREFOOT and the collection features the most comprehensive line of minimalist shoes on the market. The VIVOBAREFOOT difference is in the sole. We make a series of constructions specifically designed for varying elements, terrains, and activities.

Description:

For the best user experience please update to the latest iOS.

The Barefoot Running Coach app from VIVOBAREFOOT, specifically for iPad, is designed to help runners of all levels perfect their running form to rediscover the joy of movement and to prevent injury.

This app closely follows the coaching methodology of Lee Saxby, allowing you to compare yourself to common running forms. Following Saxby’s mantra: Posture, Rhythm and Relaxation, along with foot strike, you will be able to self-diagnose your form and learn tips and drills to help you transition to skillful barefoot running.

Every year up to 80% of runners are injured, and according to Harvard research you’re twice as likely if you have a heel strike as opposed to a forefoot strike. These alarming facts have helped push forward a revolution in barefoot movement. VIVOBAREFOOT has partnered with leading biomechanics expert and “World’s Best Barefoot Running Coach”* Lee Saxby to help runners transition to skillful, injury-free barefoot running form. After all, technique is everything.

Why Barefoot:
As humans, we are born to run, but not with thick padded trainers. Proprioception (sensory feedback, mainly from the nerves in the feet) is the foundation of skillful movement. When wearing cushioned shoes, we reduce proprioception, hindering our ability to move naturally. We would never expect a musician to wear thick, padded gloves when playing an instrument; so why would we expect anyone to wear thick, padded shoes when running? Running barefoot, or wearing a shoe that mimics barefoot movement, will allow you to learn a skillful, injury-free and enjoyable running technique.

At a Glance:
- Introduction to Barefoot Running
- Watch Videos of Common Running Forms
- Record Your Running Form
- Compare Your Running Form
- Watch Training Videos to Perfect Your Technique: Walking, Squatting, Jumping

Join the revolution in natural, injury-free movement.

Coole Recording Funktion - sonst nichts

Es gibt in dieser App nur 5 Videos, die alle samt auch auf youtube sind. Keine zusätzlichen Infos, Traininsgsplanung oder sonst was. Und dafür 2,99??? Das einzig wirklich coole ist die Record Funktion. Man kann sich selbst beim Laufen aufnehmen und das als Overlay über entweder ein Lehrvideo oder um seinen Fortschritt und noch evtl. Fehler zu erkennen. Okay das ist echt gut, aber Infos kommen praktisch keine rüber bei der app. Aber für die Videofunktion geb ich mal noch 3 Sterne. ### Update nach Nutzung:### Okay - ich geb´s zu, als ich die App zum ersten Mal gesehen habe, hat´s mich echt aufgeregt, dass ich dafür auch nur 2,99 € verschwendet habe. 5 langweilige Videos, die ich alle schon online und kostenlos auf Youtube gesehen hatte, keine PDF´s, Infos, Lerninhalte NADA - na super. Bloss irgend so eine Möglichkeit sich aufzunehmen und dann zu vergleichen - ja super toll. Aber gerade hab ich das mal getestet und bin begeistert - ja baff sogar. Das eine und EINZIGE, was diese App saugut kann, ist Deinen eigenen Laufstil zu überprüfen und zu analysieren. Und das echt super genial! Also ganz kurz: Ich hab meine Freundin auf dem Laufband aufgenommen, dann hab ich ihr ein paar Tips gegeben und wieder gefilmt (mich selbst auch - bin auch noch Anfänger). Danach kann man erstmal sich selbst sehen - okay - aber ich kann auch sagen, mach mal links mich und rechts den Profi. Oder ich mach mal links mich und rechts meine Freundin. Oder was noch viel mehr Sinn macht: Mich selbst heute, und in einem Monat (Woche). Und es geht nicht nur im Dual Screen (Video neben Video) sondern sogar übereinander gelegt. Man kann skalieren, bewegen, Deckkraft einstellen, man kann die Videos exakt zeitlich synchronisieren, man kann messen ob man in der richtigen Geschwindigkeit läuft - man kann sogar die Winkel der Gelenke ermitteln. Also … erst wollt ich hier auch mit einem Stern bewerten - aber DIESE Funktion ist einfach nur genial gut!!! Damit kann ich ziemlich perfekt meine eigenen Fehler erkennen, korrigieren und vergleichen. Das hilft mir als Anfänger extrem. Ein Coach wäre sicher noch besser und das hab ich auch noch vor, aber zum Start und auch wenn man mal einen Coach hatte zur Selbstkontrolle, einfach ein geniales Tool!!!! Deshalb, auch wenn ich erst sehr enttäuscht war und mir einfach ein bisschen mehr Infos, Tutorials oder so erwünscht hätte, von mir für diese absolut geniale Funktion 5-Sterne!!!

Best Running App

Simple, easy to use and does the job perfectly. Best running app full stop. ( couple of small problems, e.g not importing from Dropbox correctly, but for 1.99 can't really complain.)

Simply the finest running analysis tool available

Every feature in this application is driven towards creating results for coaches and runners. Basic tools, advanced tools, everything is there. The first update just made an already great app better, and the revisions showed that Vivo is listening to is user group. Fantastic work folks, thanks for making my job easier!
