The London Marathon is fast approaching, and Brits have discovered a genius way to improve their pace.

As though that isn't enough to keep you motivated, Huawei also worked closely with the dsm-firmenich running team to refine the running power metric, which enables amateur runners to keep track of their exercise intensity.

There is also a wheelchair mode, which will identify specific pushing motions, distance, push count, and frequency.
