Are Footpods worth?
Whilst Stryd isn’t cheap, I do believe it to be of good value especially when compared with top end GPS watches. Not only does it provide additional and useful training data, it also provides a very high level of accuracy. And if cost is an issue, consider pairing Stryd with a less expensive GPS watch.
How far can I calibrate my footpod?
This is using the same principle as the Garmin calibration run, where you tell the Garmin to calibrate and then run about 1 Kilometer. The calibration run is comparing the GPS distance covered with the Footpod reported speed. The advantage of this utility is that you can use any run to check the calibration and you can run much further.
Does the Garmin Edge allow use of the foot pod?
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.
