About ShoeSense
ShoeSense was started by Connor Winter while he was an athlete at the University of Colorado Boulder. While at CU the team won 2 National Championships and he received All-American Honors multiple years. After the conclusion of his last year at CU he was unable to compete due to an overuse injury requiring surgery.
While recovering from injury Connor combined his love for running with his mechanical engineering degree to create ShoeSense. His goal with ShoeSense was to utilize wearable sensors to better quantify the load felt by runners during running which caused injury. Out of the work done in the CU biomechanics lab the "Excessive Training Load" metric was born. This metric helps to quantify the load on the body from every run and promptly alert runners when the load is too high and could cause injury.
Connor currently trains with Tinman Elite as a professional runner. The team has all the best coaching, strength, PT and recovery tools at their disposal. Connor wants to make these resources available through ShoeSense. He is able to provide dedicated runners and coaches with customized training plans built by professional athletes and coaches. A portion of the plans that you buy go to support the athletes that built them so they can continue to chase their running dreams a little longer.
