Stride Sensor?

Zwift has discontinued the Run Pod. I checked their list of compatible devices Compatible Hardware, and the only run pod/stride sensor that appears to be available in the United States is the STRYD Footpod and it costs $299.

I’m trying to get set-up to run on a treadmill in the gym. A Runn treadmill speed sensor really isn’t an option for a “public” treadmill.

Suggestions…?

I bought used 4th generation Stryd for half the price, really happy with it. It just works, I can recommend it.

I switched to a Scosche Rhythm armband HRM, it also sends cadence data. While not as accurate as a footpod, it’s close enough, and doesn’t have the connection issues my runpod had.

Are you using a sports watch? My Garmin gives me all I need to run on a treadmill with Zwift.

@Milan_Rost Like this? (Thanks for the tip!)

I thought I might find a Zwift RunPod on ebay… I found a few…

Zwift pod is useless, quite inaccurate. 500 bucks is a total rip-off. My stryd is almost as accurate as GPS.

Yes, this one is the 4th generation (Gemini checked the picture). But I don’t believe the price stays like it is now - I paid for mine one (used, but still in warranty in the EU) $160 :crossed_fingers:

In hilly, wooded areas, or in very built-up urban areas, the Stryd is almost certainly more accurate than GPS.
