Who We Are

OUR STORY

We are technologists that believe in continual improvement as much for our users as ourselves. We started Flats or Spikes to allow people to work together to achieve their goals using science and technology the way it is supposed to be used, as tools that just work but don't get in the way. We believe in the saying that which is measured is managed.

OUR VISION

We see a world where athletes, coaches, and anyone who is part of the running family can participate in their own ways to help the team. We want to build the simplest and best data capture technology in running, produce the best science-based insights on human performance for distance running, and create a platform where everyone contributes and everyone succeeds.

OUR TECHNOLOGY

The Flats or Spikes platform is a fully scalable production system based on video data capture, athlete tagging, and human performance analytics. We believe in data-driven, science-based insights to allow people to manage the previously unmanageable and to drive continual improvement in both body and mind. Come be a part in measuring and continually improving with the Flats or Spikes family.

Connect with Us

We are launching a beta program in time for the 2021 season for us all to work together, find our groove, and improve. Connect with us and join the Flats or Spikes team while we bring data and science to cross country and distance running and all learn together along the way.
