RunScribe have finally announced today that the longstanding ‘sensor fusion‘ beta process is finished – ie Sensor Fusion is LIVE.

This means that the pace/distance calculations should now be notably more accurate if you are coming from a previous non-beta version. I am assuming that this will also feed through into a more refined running power calculation. Running Power is also LIVE.

• If you already have RunScribe Plus then you need to follow the instructions below to update the firmware and double-calibrate the pods.
• If you are looking to buy some Pods then now is a sensible time (details and discounts below)
  • RunScribe Plus definitely gives the most detailed gait mechanics for a runner. For a start it has LEFT and RIGHT stats.
  • RunScribe Plus should give you notably more accurate pace/distance than most other pods – perhaps only STRYD will be slightly better.
  • If you are ONLY looking at running with power then RunScribe Plus *IS* a contender but you will also need to consider: Garmin Running Power (sort of free but likely least accurate); Polar Vantage V (October 2018 release); and STRYD

RunScribe Plus Update Tips

1. Upgrade pods to firmware >v36.01 via the smartphone app
2. On a table: Then on the app RS Tools -> Calibrate Flat.
3. On your shoes: Then on the app RS Tools -> Calibrate Mounting

Tidbits
