SummitAK, Have you had a chance to use the Runn? I have a great treadmill at home and am leery of some of the issues with the different footpods. Haven't found Ray's review of the Runn. I found an old review of the GEM but not the Runn. Thanks!
Yes. It was a pretty simple installation, There is one button on it for everything and the calibration sequence is a PITA because the led light indicators can be confusing. It is a device that begs for an app.
I measured out my treadmill belt and put on 10 of the reflective decals. They are silver Mylar and go on easy. Not sure how they’ll stick over time as my treadmill belt surface has lots of traction points and there is minimal adhesive on the tabs.
After I got the Runn installed and calibrate I found that our treadmill is almost spot on. It actually runs a tiny bit faster than displayed/set speed. Now I’ve got it dialed with Zwift and have to figure out how I want to handle the stryd indicating low on treadmill vs, outside. Calibration on Garmin is by foot pod device and not activity type.
Our treadmill is a commercial Technogym. It has the C-Safe port that allow use of the former Wahoo Gem Retro module now sold and supported by NPE. I think I was the non-commercial early adopter and it gave me erratic results. I tried it recently and it worked great. With the speed being verified I may just go to the Gem instead of run. It is powered thru the Ethernet link so no need to charge. I’ll run them together for a while to confirm.
