The MILESTONE POD has been around for a few years. It is now on its third hardware iteration and has moved on considerably from it’s first appearance as a souped-up shoe mileage tracker. It currently has: some rather clever nuances; interesting levels of accuracy; and a low price tag. Q3.2017 looks to see some of…
This follows on from my highly successful series of ‘First Run With…’. We had: first run with the Polar V800 and STRYD; first run with the 935 and STRYD; first run with will.i.am and STRYD; and now it’s the turn of the Fenix 5s. With STRYD.

We shall have to see if that filters down the M430 as well soon. STRYD Compatibility comes with firmware v1.10.103. Use flowsync to…
It’s all well-and-good to use STRYD to moderate or cap your uphill efforts. The flip-side is that you have to then run faster when the downhills come. A recent firmware update (May 2017, version 1.1.2) included some of STRYD’s latest work into braking impact on downhill segments. Put another way: it’s now more accurate for the…
