I made some test yesterday and it seems that maybe the distance “Allways” is a good option as i am in a city preety much dense in terms of buildings, and maybe if it’s well calibrated there won’t be annoying things like “under the bridge” problem where the gps suddendly cut the line… I still don’t know. Compatibility: Works a wide range of brands, devices and running platforms including Apple Watch, Polar, Suunto, Garmin, Zwift, TrainingPeaks and Strava. Our testers had no problem with the durability of this product. The built-in battery, according to Garmin claims, will last years. Our testing did not last that long so we cannot verify this claim. Accuracy Windy courses can dampen spirits and performance expectations resulting in significant impacts beyond that which the weather alone would have wrought. With the training from Stryd, you’ll have a much better understanding of a realistic impact, allowing a more realistic mental approach to the race Functionality– the very best feature of the Garmin Dynamic running Pod is exactly how straightforward to use. Search the pod on the Garmin Connect Mobile app and connect, and you good to go.

Simple as that. There’s no buttons, on/off switches, or any other area to poke at. It just sits there on your running shoes…forever.Next I incremented the manual calibration by 50 and repeated. I kept doing this until I I got to a Calibration factor of 1200. Then I did a few more things. The device includes an excellent grip on your running gear. It is because of this that it has existed in the marketplace for such a long period. Last, but not least, we all seem to forget that foot pods were invented primarily to allow you to record some kind of reasonable pace information as a component of your indoor runs and not as a highly precise speed or distance measuring instrument. I just got a Garmin 235 and a footpod. I am a new runner – started in August. I mainly do 2 min run/1 min walk intervals at a pace around 10 min for run and 15 for walk.

A: Yes, on some of the Garmin watches (such as the 310XT), you can go under settings to Speed Source and set which one to use. Note however that the previous bullet still overrides that though. This means we now have a tool that can help us run smarter, for example, running at a consistent effort over hilly courses. It can also help us see more instantly whether we’re hitting the right workrate in training sessions. Whereas heart rate suffers a lag, power responds in real time making it easier to hit the sweet spot on intervals sessions. When? Very soon. I’d imagine availability in a couple of weeks after an imminent announcement. (Edit: Sorry still waiting. See point 8) I have no way of knowing if the treadmill is properly calibrated for speed but it felt “right”. Besides, the main goal of this experiment was to determine the impact of relative pace on calibration factors as opposed to determining whether either or both of the displayed treadmill speed/indicated foot pod pace were actually accurate. I switch between two pair of shoes all the time. And have a third pair to start using too. And Garmin did not seem to indicate that this would be an issue — but I am thinking I need to calibrate. If I just wear the footpod on outdoor runs does it auto calibrate on the 235 or do I need to change things in the settings? But if I switch shoes, then this is a problem. Should I just not worry? Which is likely more accurate?If you forget though, don’t worry – the unit will actually still record your pace/speed/distance using the foot pod. It’s just that some older applications don’t correctly interpret this. Though, none of the major ones in use today have any issues.

Could there be some sort of dual-foot setup for running gait asymmetries? It’s possible but I doubt it. Added magnetometer to enable several new and exciting and planned-for capabilities, including improved accuracy (to be enabled in future updates).You simply enter a recent time from a 5km, 10km, half or full marathon into the calculator, choose your target race distance and hit calculate. Stryd then spits out the power target for you to run your race to. As the Calibration Factor increases, so does estimated stride length and, therefore, estimated distance traveled. Set at 900, my actual 2km run was estimated at 1.70km. Set at 1200, my actual 2km run was guestimated at 2.26km. Every 50 point increase in Calibration Factor was worth about 0.1 km on a 2km course. The “right” number for me,for now, for running seems to be 1050 (2.01 estimated km). Again, the speed that shows up on the face of the 410 is nice and useful. I’m glad to have it. But . . . I get like a pit bull when my data does not “foot” to borrow a term from the accounting profession. Post-run you can also dig into a range of other running form metrics such as, cadence, leg spring stiffness and running form power. Alongside that Stryd will assess the stress load of your run, a stat that can be used to monitor overall training load.
