I just heard of another great use for the power metrics . When you’re trail running and your gps messes up. You don’t know how fast your going. With a power meter it doesn’t mess up because it doesn’t work off of gps. So you can pace yourself better.

Hi Ray, just to give you a bit of insight into treadmill speed and distance due to the interaction between the belt and the bed beneath the belt and the footstrike of the runner there is usually a difference between set speed and actually speed and therefore distance. This difference is small and unique to each runner, better correlationon higher end products). High end research treadmills generally have flywheels (mechanical / electronic-virtual) to compensate.

Ah I was as much intrigued by the arrival of a MYRUN next to your Peloton as the new strap and features. Has that older treadmill you had finally been carted off ? I have had a MYRUN almost 4 years now and think dates back from about 2015. What other running tech do we still use as "current" from back then.... Not sure if I missed it but did your Stryd have any foot pod calibration factor applied? I have always found Stryd foot pods "run" slower than my MYRUN at default 100% calibration even though other my tests suggest the MYRUN pace and outdoor is "in the ballpark" even at 0% incline. Your pace tests with the HRM-Pro+ were probably better than I thought they might be. Interesting to test outdoors against GPS pace. Idea for me! With Multi Band GPS on the 955 (or 255 etc etc) being, for me at least, a real step change better than say 945 at least for the GPS tracks not sure the real use case to ignore that in favour of "computed" pace and ironically calibrated by GPS based measurements in the first place that seemingly you don't trust. In other words do we still need an alternative to GPS based pace apart from indoors or long tunnels when of course there is no GPS signal whatever band it tries.

Trying to decide between HRM Pro+ and the Polar H10. I try to be pretty methodical lately with calorie counting for health/fitness purposes and just want to clarify the below statement. My watch (Fenix 7) doesn't always track HR well for things like lifting, hockey, etc (to be expected), so therefore Garmin's calories burned predictions are off. But as long as I'm wearing my watch, won't the estimated calories burned by based off the chest strap for either strap? Eg: 45 min activity of hockey your HR was ___ and est Cal's ___? I am leaning H10 as it's cheaper, has a replaceable strap and I don't need advanced run metrics, I just want to be sure I can track Cal's somewhat accurately. "Finally, if you want to use any of the heart rate/calorie/intensity minutes/steps offloading bits into your Garmin Connect account, then that also only works with the Garmin straps." I know I'm late to this chat but any help would be great!

It depends on the watch. Most of Garmin's watches, yes. However, the newest ones have a new feature that basically will keep the light on, because it can cross-check against a chest strap's conductivity, and if the strap is doing weird stuff (namely super dry scenarios like early in a run in the fall), it'll actually go back to the optical HR dynamically to cross-check. No major impact to batter for that.

@trepidati0n5332 жыл бұрын
Because the "power" measured isn't power. There is no force plate being acted upon. Therefore they need to estimate with algorithms based upon assumptions. I mean look at the pace difference alone between DC two wrists alone. Even Stryd acknowledges this in a detailed white paper. Simply put your running power CANNOT be compared to another persons running power at this time unless we somehow get a force sensor in on the sole of the shoe. However, you can use your running power to guide your training since in terms of relative accuracy it is "okay". But even then it cannot tell what kind of surface you are running on. If you run on sand vs concrete you will still get a very similar number even though the effort is wildly different.

Does it sends running dynamics to coros pace 2?
@AdamLechner2 жыл бұрын
Is it worth using the running pace during trail run? You mentioned that it doesn't calibrate itself on the trails, but is it accurate there? I find GPS based running pace can be very bad under treecovers and a more accurate instant pace number could be helpful there

Seconding this, would love to see a comparison as my GPS distance is terrible for trails given all the small turns

Would anyone recommend this in addition to an Apple Watch (S6)? Would the polar be better for basic HR? I use HR for most of my workout and use the watch sensor for now

I love Garmin and all their products but I had to move away from their HR straps because they never survived the first battery change and would die. I don’t swim with them I ride bikes, x-country ski and hike so they don’t really get too wet. @Garmin pleas make better quality straps.

Telling us how important ant is but not gonna show us how to do that, huh? My fenix 7 doesn't tell me it is only connected by bluetooth until I try downloading the heart rate data and it says it is connected by bluetooth and can't do that.

I got the HRM-PRO late last year to solve a problem: I am a speedskater, and when skating with my hands behind my back, the signal doesn't reach the watch. I have a Forerunner 225 watch currently. Do you think the watch's receiver is too weak, or am I just cursed with a bluetooth-blocking body?
