## Description

Train hard, run free. The running dynamics pod easily clips onto your waistband to measure the running dynamics you need to Beat yesterday. It gives you the option to run Without a Heart rate monitor chest strap but still be able to view and analyze your cadence, Stride length, ground contact time and balance, Vertical oscillation and Vertical ratio. These biomechanical measurements can help you understand your running form so you can perform better on race day. With a replaceable battery that lasts more than a year, this pod is easy to use. Once paired with your Compatible Watch, just clip it to the back and center of your waistband and start your run. It's so tiny, you may forget it's there.

Review: Does What It Says - This does what it says it will do. It is extremely compact as I had imagined it to be bigger. Even if you don’t care much for such stats, I still recommend it because having technology serve you to gather stats during a time you are incapable of doing so yourself really adds value and worth to each run, and that motivates you to do it again. Connectivity is quick each time. I’ve ran in a freak rainstorm before and it worked just fine.
Review: Top, macht was der soll - Der Pod macht genau was der machen soll- in Verbindung mit Garmin Uhr mit dazugehörigen Laufeffizienzfeldern und Garmin Connect App kann man schon eine deutliche Verbesserung vom Laufstil erreichen und die Laufstilfehler eingrenzen und vermeiden. Ich tendiere z.B. unbewusst zu zu hoher vertikaler Bewegung und genau da geht ja Energie verloren- seit ich den Pod habe und meine Läufe ausgewertet habe, habe ich den Fehler eingegrenzt und im Zuge der Lauf-ABC bewusst vermindert. Auch andere Daten wie Balance, Bodenkontaktzeit usw. sind nützlich wenn man effizient und schnell laufen will. Für einen 5-km-Hobbyläufer ist der Pod aber wahrscheinlich eher sinnlos. Hier muss jeder für sich selbst wissen was er mit dem Sensor anstellen will und was er davon erwartet. Ich verstehe auch nicht manche Rezensionen, die auf den Gedanken kamen den Pod beim Skilanglauf einzusetzen. Es heißt ja auch "Running Pod". Für mich ist das Gadget top. Einziges Nachteil - konstruktionsbedingt keine Winddatenerfassung. Für mich ist das Gadget top.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with Zwift?**
A: It says it's supported on the Zwift website. It doesn't support bluetooth so you'll need an ANT+ receiver.

**Q: How is this different from Garmin foot pod?  Can it track distance for indoor run/walk like the foot pod does?**
A: I don't think it captures/ estimates distance, the watch will do that now without the need for a foot pod. This doesn't doesnt capture data if you're walking.

**Q: Will this improve distance accuracy on my treadmill runs?**
A: Unfortunately no. I bought this specifically for the treadmill since my Fenix 7 is grossly inaccurate for me on my treadmill (it isn’t the case for another family member with the same watch). Unfortunately even after changing the battery (the same day I unboxed it), it will often read 0.0 for speed, while at the same the cadence will have a reading that changes wildly (and inaccurately), and distance will remain unchanged for sometime .25 miles.

Very disappointed. If I’m outside, GPS does a good job, so for me, this is kind of worthless because so far I only need it on my treadmill. Thinking of going back to Polar. Never had this issue with them.

**Q: Does this require a garmin watch, or can i just use it with the garmin app on my iphone (and no other garmin device)?**
A: The dynamics pod syncs to several garmin watches (not all of them), but yes, you must use a garmin watch (https://runnerclick.com/garmin-running-dynamics-pod-review)
DC Rainmaker has an outstanding review of the item as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ super produit d'analyse de foulée mais...
*by P***O on 16 February 2020*

Compatible avec les montres Garmin, cela permet d'obtenir toutes les infos complémentaires de foulées en running, fournies habituellement par les ceintures de la marque, sans avoir besoin d'en acheter une. Pour ma part j'utilise quand même une ceinture pectorale car elles sont plus précises que le cardio de la montre... Mais ce sont des ceintures de la marque concurrente (deux Polar H10 et une Polar H7), et il semble en plus qu'elles soient plus confortables que celles de Garmin. Par contre, avec ces modèles concurents (H7/H10), on obtient que le cardio, et rien d'autre. Avec le RDP (Running Dynamics Pod), on obtient toutes les données manquantes, que ce soit avec la montre toute seule, ou avec des ceintures "cardio simples". Le RDP se met dans le dos au niveau du short / cuissard, en face de la colonne vertebrale. Contrairement à ce qui est dit dans la doc, il suffit de commencer à courir pour qu'il se mette en marche, pas besoin de "l'activer" préalablement. Concernant le compteur de foulée, cadence, rapport et oscillations verticales des foulées, etc.. on a une valeur identique aux infos des ceintures Garmin. Par contre, concernant le calcul de l'équilibre contact avec le sol pied gauche / pied droit, il est très sensible du placement du RDP au niveau de la colonne et de manière verticale... Du coup, des fois, on obtient des résultats pas du tout cohérent avec les résultats habituels. Si cette valeur est vraiment importante pour vous, je conseille donc de faire vérifier visuellement le placement du RDP par un de vos proches ou un de vos compagnons de course avant celle-ci. A part cette petite remarque, le produit fait vraiment bien son boulot.
