And most will take the Foot Pod data to calculate distance and step count.

We tested this device in conjunction with the Garmin Fenix. Garmin's "Training Center" is an effective and comprehensive computer-based tool for organizing running and training data. This is the most secure and easily attached device in our entire test. The simple two-part plastic construction intertwines with the runner's shoe laces and remains there securely through vigorous running. In our testing, we had no issues with the Pod becoming unclipped. The Nike is also a foot mounted distance tracker, but requires either dedicated Nike shoes, or an improvised lace pouch.

Neither of these is as slick as the Garmin Foot Pod's attachment method. Our testers had no problem with the durability of this product. The built-in battery, according to Garmin claims, will last years. Our testing did not last that long so we cannot verify this claim. The Garmin Foot Pod, as compared to the other devices in our test, had the second poorest accuracy.

Only the free and Best Buy winning, Pacer app was less accurate. Watching the step count derived from the Garmin while actually walking showed that one step out of every was simply ignored by the devices. Incidentally, it only counts the footfalls of the shoe its mounted to.

Many Zwift runners adopted it as the go-to footpod for use in game. Zwift purchased the company in and the Milestone footpod became the Zwift RunPod. It has remained the best budget option for runners wanting to try Zwift Running. Zwift Running was released as a pre-beta product in late Originally it was only available on Zwift for iOS. If you wanted to run on Zwift in the very early days, you had to have a Bluetooth footpod.

Bluetooth continues to be the preferred way to connect, and there are now a number of compatible devices that allow you to get your avatar moving. Using the Virtual Run profile the watch will then rebroadcast the signal in Bluetooth to Zwift.

If you purchased a footpod specifically for use with Zwift, you can still use the footpod on your outdoor runs. An increasing number of watches allow you to connect devices using Bluetooth. If you have a compatible watch, you can connect your Zwift RunPod or any other Bluetooth footpod to your watch and it will also record your speed, distance, and cadence.

If you don't have a treadmill, but want to try out Zwift run, you can actually use the Zwift app on your phone while running outside. Connect your footpod as normal to the app and off you go.
