See your stride
Film ten seconds of your run on your phone. We’ll show you where your foot lands and how your knee takes each step, plus the one change worth making first.
We’re letting in 50 runners first. Your analysis is free, and in return we’d love your honest take on it. Got an invite link? It’ll let you straight in.
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
Form changes slowly, so Glido works in four-week loops. You change one thing at a time, and every loop starts from your last video.
- 01
Film
Prop your phone at hip height, side-on, and run past a few times. Ten seconds is plenty, on a treadmill or outside.
- 02
Get your stride story
Within 24 hours: what’s working, the one thing to change, and the numbers behind it.

One drill for four weeks
A single drill and how often to do it. We’ll check in after two weeks to see how it’s going.
- 04
Film again
Same spot, same side. We’ll show you your before and after, then pick the next thing.
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.

- It tells you when it isn’t sureIf a reading sits right on the healthy line, we say so and ask for another clip instead of guessing.
- Timed by the sound of your feetWhen your clip has sound, we use each footstep to pin down the exact moment you land.
- Ranges from published researchEvery healthy range we use comes from studies of runners. There are 24 papers behind it so far.
- Checked against hand-timed landingsOn our test clip it found all 29 landings to within a thirtieth of a second.

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.
Does it check pronation?
Not yet. Pronation needs a clip from behind, and today we look at you side-on. It’s on our list.
Do I need an app?
No. Everything works in your browser, and you sign in with your email, no password.
What does it cost?
Nothing for the first 50 runners. 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.
- 03Normal video, 1080p at 60 fps if your phone has it. iPhone: Settings, Camera, Record Video. Android: tap the 30 in video mode to switch it to 60. Skip slow-mo and 4K, they make the file too big. 30 fps works too.
- 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.
