Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I am thinking of getting a foot pod to go with my garmin. Some questions:
* can i have the foot pod on just for the cadence and get the distance and speed from GPS?
* is it any good at tracking cadence?

I have a footpod and you can set it to favour GPS for speed and distance when there is a signal and it will revert to the footbpod when there is no GPS such as indoors on a treadmill :) MIne picks up cadence no problem and its handy to get stats from a treadmill workout too. Hope that helps :)

sometimes use the old footpod from my dead FR50 with my 310xt to keep an eye on cadence in-flight, works great :)

I have one and its good for checking cadence. Not used it on a treadmill.

Remember to double the number given as it only counts the foot it's on.

Does anyone have a footpod they want to get rid of?

Cadence - tracks it well for running. But when my 310XT is set up for cycling, it doesn't detect the footpod. For cycling cadence I have to use the cycling kit.

There is a setting to choose speed from footpod or GPS (on the 310XT at least). The speed from GPS is very noisy compared to speed from footpod - when doing pace intervals I get much better results using footpod speed.

This is as expected, because the GPS speed is differentiated position (thus amplifying any high-frequency noise in the position signal), whereas the footpod speed is obtained from the acceleration signal by integration, which attenuates high-frequency noise.

Got something to say?
