Does anyone have and use the Footpod along with your 305 for treadmill runs? Is it accurate?
Thanks. |

Dude.
You can take the runner out of the triathlon but you can't take triathlon out of the runner.
a.) It's April. Run outside.
b.) No. I don't have a 305 becuase that device is for gear geeks.
c.) Running is bad for you and you should stop anyway. Duh. Don't you read? |

Probably about as accurate as the treadmill itself.....
Run outside. Problem solved. |

It did snow this weekend, twice. I did run outside Sunday morning and got snowed/rained on.
It probably is for geeks.
And I am trying to kill myself slowly, duh.
Haven't decided for sure to get one. Probably don't need one. Probably won't get one.
In fact, thanks Mikey for slapping me around. Now I am definitely not getting one.  |

Heh, naturally, I have one. It's pretty accurate if properly calibrated.
You should calibrate it on a track, unless you're obsessed with having it match your treadmill.
Calibrate at the pace you typically run most of the time. I've noticed that it seems to be off a little bit running at speeds way different from calibration.
Ok, I've read further down and see that you don't have one. Not a necessity -- I found it hard to pass up for $30 on Amazon, but I'm a shameless gear geek. |

Drop the "gear" word, and you just described your mom. Good job! |
