A pair of summer students in the Toronto area are using advanced motion capture technology to determine what makes a “perfect runner” and how it can help the more recreational athlete.
Katie Wilkinson and Nathaniel Reid-Smith are spending the summer working with the Mississauga-based data analytics company Adastra Corporation, where they are tracking the movement of elite and recreational runners to see what, if any, differences in technique they show.
Ultimately, Kenyan marathoner Eliud Kipchoge finished just 25 seconds shy of the benchmark, but is planning to try once again in October. “Our project right now is focused on running, but the applications of this project innumerable,” said Wilkinson, a second-year health sciences student at McMaster University.
