Huawei Partners with Eliud Kipchoge's Running Team to Unlock New Possibilities in the Sport

2026-02-03 13:01 Last Updated At:13:25

SHENZHEN, China, Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On January 5, 2026, Huawei announced a revolutionary partnership as the official technology collaborator for the dsm-firmenich Running Team, home to marathon icon Eliud Kipchoge. The collaboration aims to promote running culture worldwide and inspire more people to embrace the sport. The cross-industry alliance has already generated a significant buzz in both the technology and sports worlds, sparking widespread speculation about Huawei's strategic moves in the health and fitness sector.

Over the past decade, Huawei has established itself as a leader in the health and fitness industry, with a diverse range of products. The HUAWEI Band and WATCH FIT Series are designed for everyday wellness, while the WATCH D Series sets new benchmarks in advanced health monitoring. The WATCH Series, which combines advanced smart features with professional health management, solidifies Huawei's reputation for innovation. The WATCH GT and WATCH Ultimate Series are engineered for demanding sports like skiing, diving, cycling, and trail running. In the running domain alone, Huawei has worked with over 100 runners for extensive long-term testing, achieving an accuracy rate greater than 97% in predicting race results. Huawei has also developed a cutting-edge machine learning model for fatigue assessment, empowering runners to train scientifically. It is this foundation that makes the partnership with marathon legend Eliud Kipchoge so powerful. His dedication to scientific training and unparalleled practical experience perfectly complement Huawei's technological strengths, creating a true synergy between elite sports and cutting-edge innovation.

This collaboration goes beyond mere brand exposure. Huawei will likely leverage the professional insights of Eliud Kipchoge and the dsm-firmenich Running Team to gain the core needs of world-class athletes during their most demanding training and highest-stakes competitions. For a team that consistently sets world records, a smart watch is an essential tool. It must meet the highest standards of elite sports, undergoing rigorous testing in real-world conditions. World-class runners demand uncompromising precision in positioning, for stable route and pace data even in challenging environments such as urban canyons and complex terrains. They require ultra-high-precision physiological monitoring to capture critical metrics like resting heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), sleep quality, and training load, data that informs critical adjustments to training and race strategies. Other key considerations include battery life for long-distance competitions, comfort during high-intensity efforts, and the scientifically robust algorithms. The insights generated through this collaboration will be instrumental in refining Huawei's algorithms and in enhancing smart watch functionality, ultimately creating products better suited for professional scenarios.

Huawei's upcoming smart watches are highly anticipated, as they are set to integrate elite runner insights and innovate in both data accuracy and real-world adaptability. Whether catering to the rigorous demands of elite runners or empowering everyday fitness enthusiasts to unlock the full potential of science-based training, this groundbreaking collaboration is poised to redefine the industry landscape. The resulting product innovations and their global impact are sure to captivate runners and industry observers worldwide.

LONDON, Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Colebrook Bosson Saunders (CBS), a leader in workplace ergonomics, today officially launches Lana, a next-generation laptop stand that combines ergonomic performance with circular design principles. Following a preview in January, Lana is now fully available across markets, offering organisations and individuals a practical solution designed for the realities of hybrid work.

As workplaces continue to evolve toward flexible layouts and shared environments, CBS has rethought what ergonomic tools should deliver. Lana goes beyond addressing physical comfort alone. It reflects a broader design philosophy focused on longevity, material health and environmental responsibility, aligning with the way people work today while anticipating the expectations of tomorrow's workplaces.

Engineered for durability, Lana has been tested to withstand more than five years of daily use and is supported by a five-year warranty. Its circular design allows key components to be reused, refurbished or responsibly recycled at the end of their life, including eligibility for CBS's Second Life refurbishment programme.

"As organisations reimagine their workspaces for flexibility and long-term value, we believe ergonomic tools must evolve too, not only in how they support people, but in how they are made," said Cecil Huang, Senior Marketing Manager – APAC, Middle East and Africa at CBS. "Lana brings together adaptable performance, verified material health and circular design principles to meet the needs of today's hybrid workforce and tomorrow's sustainability goals."

Designed with a clean, minimal aesthetic, Lana integrates seamlessly into shared desks, touchdown spaces and individual workstations. Its compact form and concealed cabling help maintain an uncluttered workspace. Compatible with laptops up to 16 inches and 2.5kg, Lana enables a streamlined single cable setup when used with USB C charging devices and external wireless peripherals, supporting quick transitions between users in flexible settings.

Lana is now shipping globally, with availability in the United States expanding in April. The product reflects CBS's long-term vision for workplace tools that balance ergonomics, sustainability and user centred design in a single, portable solution.
