Garmin 010-11092-00 Foot Pod for Garmin Forerunner Sports Watch - Black

Product Information

Foot? Are you sure it’s not a new RD-POD? I’m NOT sure about that but my money is on a footpod or pod that will properly support either location. Presumably, that’s why Suunto calculates power on the wrist but never used the excellent sensors in Movesense to create a power metric. A: Yup, all the same data is recorded. The only thing not included is a map of where you went, and in the case of GPS-dependent watches – elevation data isn’t included. For neither walking nor running is known distance calibration (everyone agrees this will produce the most reliable result) the silver bullet of accuracy. In #2 immediately above, you see numbers that vary by a little more than 1% from high to low. I did three running known distance test calibrations today as well. Those values were 1033, 1048, and 1035—again a roughly 1% spread.

A: No, none of the Garmin Edge cycling devices allow use of the foot pod, it’s considered a different ANT+ device profile and isn’t one you can pair to the Edge devices. Though I should note this is actually a really common request from cyclists that occasionally run. Also of note is that the Edge series doesn’t display pace in Minutes/Mile, but rather only MPH (speed). Again, another highly requested feature from occasional runners that are primarily cyclists. The S1 Foot pod will help guarantee that you are going for the wanted pace or speed. It will likewise help you keep an eye on miles you have actually run, so you will undoubtedly know if you are proceeding as intended with your training program. Frankly, I would not futz with the foot pod calibration. The default value of 100 is very likely already good enough. If however, you are certain that the treadmill you are using is properly calibrated and therefore accurate AND the distances being recorded by your f3 (when using the foot pod for distance) and the treadmill are materially different, then adjust the foot pod calibration. You have already posted the correct sequence of button pushes to do this. If that is not working, the most likely problem is that you have not yet paired your new foot pod with the watch. To do that, shake the foot pod about a bit to wake it up. Then UP > SETTINGS > SENSORS > Add New > Foot Pod. 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.But then there is the curiosity factor. I’m curious about the whole calibration thing. I have gotten the impression from things I have read that calibration is about fine tuning speed and distance estimation. I used GPS to calibrate mine while walking first day out and ended up with a calibration factor of 0906 whatever that means. I intend to calibrate it again today while running and am curious to see if I get a substantially different calibration factor. Cyclists have long been using power as a way to monitor workrate and provide a consistent measurement for training and racing. While there are debates about whether it’s even possible to measure running power in the same way, new devices such as Stryd are giving us new stats that tells us much more about the actual workrate we’re putting in as we run as opposed to the body’s response to that work (heart rate) or the effect of that work (pace). 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.

Features & Compatibility – The first thing to think about is the “connection features” the device has. Many foot pods make use of Bluetooth and also ANT+ for the link and even communication with devices. You need to know how the device connects and whether or not it is compatible with your devices. How you get your power stats to appear on your watch varies from brand to brand and we’ll be honest, it’s not as seamless as we’d like but that’s down to the watchmakers more than Stryd and with a bit of customisation you can get your power stats on your wrist easily enough. Apple Watch calculates running power on the wrist too but I would have thought an Apple footpod is way too niche for Apple to worry about. Polar Stride and M400 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. Price- Footpods can be rather pricey. However, the quality of the devices and why you need to use it should give you the reason to buy. FAQs

Performance Comparison

Stryd will allow you to determine your best response to the tailwind. Gaining a measurable advantage in training, which can then be deployed in a race without the risk of exhaustion from overexertion Could there be some sort of dual-foot setup for running gait asymmetries? It’s possible but I doubt it. Increased internal storage by 64x, better for the ultra training and racing as well as much higher precision data collection – as that additional granular data needs space. They also do have the InReach devices that need a subscription to work and send SOS and text messages via satellite when you have no cell service.

I may have misunderstood you but, if you ARE indoors, the pace can ONLY come from your foot pod. What you describe is the way I run OUTDOORS and the pace seems much more stable so I think it is coming from the FP but I only have one run so far with my new f3.

Mobility- It is light-weight and also sufficiently small to affix to your various other running gears. You can wear this device, walk without anyone observing you have it.

You can see from the images that the retention mechanism is similar to the old Garmin footpod and rd-pod, so it will fit nicely into a new style cradleto go on your laces. I’ve not seen the new cradle.Widely compatible: A real strong point, Stryd plays nice with most brands, lots of running watches and running platforms so it can follow you even if your loyalties change. Until recently I used footpods not just to get the speed, but to estimate the distance, too. I was not pleased with the distance related algorithms of Garmín for their Fenix 3HR and Fenix5+ after made some tests.
