New Gear: Polar S1 Foot Pod

Posted by Ed Hammerbeck

ORN: 2.5 miles in 29 minutes or so. I went camping this weekend, and it's a huge coup that I ran at all given how much I walked, how much my back hated sleeping in the camper, and how much I drove in the last 72 hours.

In the mail Saturday was my brand, spanking new Polar S1 Foot Pod. This little do-dad fits on my shoe and tracks distance and speed for me, much like the Nike+ did, but without the musical accompaniment. Right out of the box, I found it to be fairly easy to use and reasonably accurate. Still, I am going to have to find a track and calibrate it properly.

After I run with it for a while, I will do a proper review.
