The Finnish company Runteq is ready to start the manufacturing of their Zoi running sensors. See: Invesdor.com if you want to contribute.
In a separate post LAKIMAIJA has a first look at one of the 7x ZOIs and he first explains that the Zoi is different to the HRM-RUN in what it does. [You are encouraged to click that link to LAKIMAIJA as I am only using his information here].
The most important point is that, whilst the advanced/extended running dynamics of the Garmin HRM-RUN/HRM4-RUN tells you ‘stuff’, it doesn’t really tell you what to do about ‘stuff’ – other than inferring that you ‘make it better’.
But How?
Zoi tells you how after looking at running economics. To give you a flavour, the images below show where ‘Flat-Foot marching drills’ are specified after an analysis.

I think we are now looking at availability in Spring 2016.

My favourite kit and nutrition
- Maurten — the race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mix engineered to be easy on the stomach.
- Garmin 90-degree charging adapter — the small adapter that keeps your charging cable tidy at the stem. Essential for race day.
- Garmin charging puck — the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session.
- Ravemen FR300 — front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters.
- Garmin Varia RTL515 — radar rear light that alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind. Pairs with your Edge or Garmin watch.
- Stryd — the footpod that brings running power to your Garmin. The single most useful running upgrade I have made.
- Favero Assioma Pro RS2 — the power meter pedals most serious cyclists end up choosing. Accurate, easy to move between bikes.

Had you the chance to use/test a stryd (=power meter for running)? Me not.
I think there are only 7 devices and I haven’t got one yet
