Video recording guide
Here is a simple and quick guide on how to record your videos and measure your cadence. You don’t need to be an expert and it’s going to take you no more than 2 minutes. Are you ready?
1. How to record your videos
- We only need three videos of you: front, side and rear views.
- Use your phone to record videos.
- If you take the video on treadmill: set your treadmill at 1% elevation.
- If you take the video outdoor: run on flat surface
- Speed: run at your training pace. If you’re not sure what this is, run at a comfortable pace.
- Clothing and footwear: wear the shoes you normally run in. Wear tight running leggings or shorts. Ruck your t-shirt in.
- Remember to warmup before taking your videos.
a. Side view
- Treadmill recording: Record for 15 seconds. Your whole body needs to be included. If not possible, record 15 seconds of the upper body and 15 seconds of the lower body.
- Outdoor recording: place the camera beside you. Record up to 5 seconds.
b. Rear view
- Treadmill recording: Record for 15 seconds. Your whole body needs to be included.
- Outdoor recording: place the camera behind you. Record up to 5 seconds.
c. Front view
- Treadmill recording: Record 15 seconds video. Your lower half body needs to be included.
- Outdoor recording: place the camera in front of you. Record up to 5 seconds.
How to measure your running cadence
We need to know how many steps you do per minute. This is a very important metric to assess and an essential element of your running!
- Please set a 1 minute timer.
- Start running.
- When comfortable, start the timer and count the number of steps you do until the timer is over.
- The final number is your cadence! Tell us your cadence!
