- 02Where your foot lands
- 03One simple habit to build
From a stride story“A solid base to build on”
Free during the alpha
See your stride
Film ten seconds of you running. We draw your form as lines on your own body, show you what’s working, and give you one thing to try.
We’re letting runners in in small groups, and it’s free. Got an invite link? It’ll let you straight in. A person checks every analysis before it reaches you.
What lands in your inbox
A short story you tap through, like this one. What’s working, the one thing to change, and a drill for it.
- 01What’s already working
- 02Your stride in numbers
- 03The one thing to change
- 04A drill for it
A sample stride story. Tap through it.
How it works
- 01
Film
Prop your phone at hip height, side-on, and run past a few times. Ten seconds is plenty. Treadmill or outside both work.
- 02
Upload
Sign in with your email, no password, and send the clip. It takes about a minute.
- 03
Get your stride story
Within 24 hours: what you’re doing well, one thing to work on, and a drill to fix it.
What you get
- 01
Your stride in numbers
Where your foot lands, your knee bend and your lean, each against the healthy range.
- 02
One step, frame by frame
The moment you land, as your weight comes over your foot, and as you push off.
- 03
Every landing
So you can see if it’s how you always run, or just a few odd steps.
- 04
One thing to try
A drill and how often to do it. Not a list of ten fixes.

Questions
Is this medical advice?
No. Glido gives feedback on running form. If something hurts, see a physio before changing how you run.
What happens to my video?
We delete it once your analysis is done, unless you tick the box letting us keep it to improve the analysis. You can delete everything from your account at any time. Privacy
How accurate is it?
On our hand-checked test clip it found every landing to within a thirtieth of a second. Phone video has limits, so we tell you when a reading isn’t reliable instead of guessing.
Does it work on a treadmill?
Yes. Tell us the speed when you upload, because where your foot lands changes with how fast you’re going.
What does it cost?
Nothing during the alpha. We’ll ask what you’d pay once you’ve seen your results.

Grab a quick clip
- 01Hip height, not the floor. Prop your phone on a bag, bench or wall, 3 to 4 metres to the side.
- 02Landscape, whole body in frame, with a bit of space above your head and below your feet.
- 03Slow-mo on (Slo-Mo in your camera app). Each step is quick, and slow-mo lets us see the exact moment your foot lands.
- 04Sound on, away from loud music if you can. We use the sound of your footsteps to time each landing.
- 05Run past a few times at an easy pace, 10 to 20 seconds in all. Treadmill or outside both work.
- 06Send the original straight from your camera roll, not a copy from WhatsApp, which shrinks it and can drop the sound.

Where were you running?
How hard were you running?
Speed changes what a good stride looks like, so this helps us read yours properly.

Alpha
You’re on the waitlist
The alpha is invite-only for now, so we can check every analysis properly. If someone gave you an invite code, pop it in and you can upload straight away.
No code? No problem. We’ve been told you’re here, and we’ll email you as soon as you’re in, usually the same day.
