Hi barefolks,
I've been running with my 305 and a garmin foot pod to measure cadence. It seemed to work OK several weeks ago, but had some dips and so I thought I'd test it's accuracy.
I generated a 96bpm metronome track with Audacity and timed the track to ensure what I got was 96bpm. I then made sure I was nailing 96bpm exactly for my entire 9k run (and several subsequent runs), so I know for sure I was dead on 96. OK, I confess I let rip in the last kay or so and was probably north of 100 .
The foot pod is securely attached to my ankle using velcro, so it doesn't jiggle around (as least as far as I can feel). The directional arrow is pointing down, but I've run with it vertically wuith the same result.
This is what I get...sort of all over the place results. Is anyone else using a foot pod and getting accurate results? I suppose it's a bit of a moot point since I have a better mechanism for making sure I;m hiitting then right cadence, but I like my stuff to work regardless...
