I have the same pod. Always wondered about the accuracy. Can't beat the form factor though and the battery lasts so long.I use a Garmin Running Dymanics pod. Clips onto the back of your shorts and gives you cadence, vertical oscillation, ground contact time, ground contact time balance (left vs. right). It also has an accelerometer which attempts to track distance when you're running on the treadmill, but it's only kind of accurate when I'm running easy, it's way off when I'm doing a workout.
I've thought about trying Stryd but I use more of a HR based philosophy, haven't given power based training much thought
General running question for you guys with regards to seeing gains...
Should the area of focus be size of stride, cadence or speed? Sure they all go hand in hand but what’s best to really dig down and fine tune things? Maybe the better question would be which should be prioritized for the others to be self fulfilling?
It’s amazing how much hips can make a difference; that and glutes.Hips + change of pace. I've seen my cadence increase from 160 to 175, side increase by 60cms and run 1:16 half marathons back to back weekends in terrible conditions during the best 5 months training period of my life. During that time I was doing a hips routine 3 times a week + my pace was anywhere from 9:30 per mile to 6:30 per mile depending on the type of run e.g. recovery, tempo, long run.
Looks very reminiscent of the Lunarglide 4 era, on steroids.zoomx invincible
I took the Tempo Next % out for a first run today and was really impressed with the ride. I supinate and land on my forefoot and the placement of the AirPods work perfectly with my foot strike.
I’ve seen some of the negative reviews and couldn’t disagree more. These are a great shoe for me; however, that may not be true for everyone. I think it comes down to foot strike. Some reviewers claim they couldn’t activate the AirPods. They have to be landing heel first. If you land on your forefoot you can activate them. I’m not heavy at only 140 lbs so you can be light and still get a pop from the AirPods.
For comparison, I ran the same run in the Zoom Fly 3 on Tuesday and averaged 25 seconds slower per mile with a higher average HR. I also ran the same route yesterday in an old pair of the VF Flyknit and averaged 13 seconds slower per mile with a higher HR.
These seem to be the real deal. I hate to train in the VF or AF as I want them to feel lighter and faster on race day so these seem to bridge the gap.
Has anyone run in the tempo and alpha? Do they compare similar in feel at all to where if you like one, you'll like the other?
^^^Agree. I own both and they are nothing alike. I haven't ran in Tempo yet, but I am curious how it is when you run the corners. AF isn't stable when cornering, so I have to slow down a bit.
I’ve run in both. I have about 13 miles in the AF and just one run in the Tempo Next.Has anyone run in the tempo and alpha? Do they compare similar in feel at all to where if you like one, you'll like the other?
