Thank you Avelo!

Avelo is the world's smartest running shoe created by a team of ex-Nike engineers. I'm so excited by Avelo that I've been advising them for nearly two years. And the market has spoken - they raised over $100,000 on Kickstarter on their very first day because they're doing something unique.

Embedded in their bouncy, lightweight Supertrainer is a sensor that measures impact and your running form, showing you how much force your body is experiencing and when during your run your form starts deteriorating. This gives you incredible insights into your unique form, how it changes, and when it breaks down so you better understand your injury risk and when you get fatigued.

The shoes never need to be charged and you can reuse the sensor in each pair of Avelo's. Their app gives you real-time coaching that I had a lot of input on, based on your unique data. They're still available on Kickstarter at 34% off for a very limited time, so get yours today!

Thank you to 2Before!
