I rarely post videos, but last Autumn I acquired the cheapest Garmin watch - forerunner 55 for $149, and couldn’t understand why It’s so underrated.
I hate bulky watches, but this one - I can’t even feel it on my wrist.
And now the marathon world record holder wears the same one.
I always knew that watches are great investment 😁
It's possible to track treadmill runs by using Airpods as a footpod:
The setup:
One AirPod goes on your foot - it streams motion data to your phone
The other AirPod stays in your ear (the latest AirPods Pro can measure heart rate)
The phone sits on the treadmill - the app detects changes in treadmill angle and estimates incline in real time
The app also calculates running dynamics like cadence, ground contact time, vertical oscillation, and power. In the end, you get a full activity recording that syncs automatically to Strava.
Pace accuracy is comparable to footpods that cost a few hundred dollars.
