Garmin Indoor Foot Pod Accessory

The foot pod helps me keep accurate results for my weekly running log. I feel it is more accurate than the equipment at the gym. However I wish it was easier to take on and off I like to switch out my running shoes.

Garmin Indoor Foot Pod

The device works, plain and simple, which is enough to warrant the 3 stars. It allows me to keep using my Garmin Forerunner 305 while inside on the treadmill. It's also on the cheaper side.

The things I don't like:
1. The device is way too big.
2. I would be ok with #1 if there was a fast way to put it on and take off, but it gets laced on to your shoe. So on the days I'm not running, I have an ungainly large black thing on my shoe. I guess I can get a "running" shoe and a "weights" shoe or just suck it up.
3. The Garmin MotionBased site won't allow you to upload runs completed using the Foot Pod. This completely defeats the purpose of keeping track of my runs using statistics. Yes, I can upload to my personal desktop version of the software, but as noted in my Forerunner 305 review, the desktop version is sorely limited and doesn't contain ability to really drill down on the stats. I guess it's more encouragement to run outside, but in that case, I wouldn't need the Foot Pod. The Garmin site says indoor running functionality will come soon, but that could mean years away.

A nice accessory for the Forerunner

I bought this to accompany my Forerunner 305. I was training for a marathon in Phoenix in January so I did a lot of training indoors since I live in Utah. It was easy to get synced with my Forerunner, and I haven't had to replace the battery in the Foot Pod yet. My only issue is with calibrating it. I tried to calibrate it using the distance reading on the treadmill, but it seemed to vary from treadmill to treadmill. This could be due to inaccuracies in the treadmills sensors. It would be nice if it had a feature to auto calibrate it using the GPS in tandem with the accelerometers in the Foot Pod, instead of having to enter a calibration constant in manually. Still a great piece of equipment.

Great product

Looking for a great way to accurately track your workouts indoors? This will fit your need. I have an older treadmill at home and is not accurate, the foot pod accurately tracks my mileage and pace. You can also upload your workouts to your Garmin Training Center software on your computer. I did not calibrate mine and it's within a .05 of a mile on the treadmills at the gym, so it's pretty accurate already. Of course if you want to be precise follow the directions to calibrate it. The only drawback to the foot pod is that it isn't easily removed from your show due to having to run your laces through them. Maybe future models will have an easier way to attach and detach the foot pod. That's the only negative. I am very pleased with my purchase and works automatically with my Forerunner 305.
