In my experience, the shoe pod is pretty accurate, within about 1%, IF you run at roughly the same pace that you calibrated. So if you calibrate at a 5k, it will not be too accurate at long run pace. Hills will affect accuracy some too, maybe because your pace on hills is different. Bottom line, it's certainly good enough for training runs, within 2-3%. I really like the pace display. The "total ascent" is way, way too high.
As far as data is concerned, the software doesn't work with Macs, even with emulation like Parallels or Boot Camp, something about the IR protocols they use, so you can't download your watch data to the computer. So I really don't know.
Personally, given the price and compatibility issues, I think I'd look at the new Garmin. |
