A British startup plans to create a new wave of athletics records by reinventing the running track. London-based Feldspar is engineering the surface to maximise speed. It all starts with the flooring design, which converts more running energy towards horizontal propulsion. As a result, sprinters can reduce the force required for upright momentum and put extra power into going forward. By improving energy return, the system could also reduce fatigue. The track will also deliver new athletic insights. Through a combination of embedded sensors and camera-based analysis, Feldspar will capture real-time data directly from the surface. Coaches could use these findings to optimise…
