StridePace: Running Cadence Coach
AI video analysis app that detects running cadence in real-time from phone videos and coaches runners toward optimal 170-180 steps per minute to prevent injury.
The Problem
Most runners don't know their actual cadence, and running too slowly (under 160 SPM) is a leading cause of impact injuries. Expensive GPS watches show cadence data but runners forget to check it mid-run, and phone-based cadence counters require wearing extra sensors or straps that most casual runners won't buy.
Target Audience
Casual to intermediate distance runners (5K-marathon) who use their phone to film runs or check Strava, aged 25-45, income $50K+
Why Now?
AI pose detection models are now accessible via simple APIs; TikTok fitness trends (running challenges) have surged post-COVID; runners increasingly film runs for social proof
What's Missing
Existing solutions either require dedicated hardware (watches) or work only with pre-recorded video, not live coaching during a run. No app delivers real-time audio cadence feedback with just a phone.
