Garmin foot pod and Curved Manual Treadmill - Zwift

Hi,

I'm considering getting a Curved manual treadmill. Something like the Air Runner. Idea is to use the treadmill in conjunction with Zwift training software.

If the treadmill I end up buying does not transmit Bluetooth or ANT+ speed. I will need to get the speed data to Zwift from a foot pod or HRM.

Options are:

HRM-RUN/TRI (I have this already)
Stryd Power Foot Pod
Garmin Foot Pod (Old version that connects to shoe) I have this already.
Wahoo tickr X

My question is which one will work? Has anyone tried?

Note: Stryd says theirs is not compatible with a manual treadmill diue to motion of foot strike.

Thanks

Peter

These provide running dynamics, but not speed.

As above.

Any other footpod won't be accurate for the same reason.

The Wahoo tickr X does provide speed. The specs say...

TREADMILL MODE

Special mode for tracking speed and distance data while on the treadmill

There is a review video (English reviewer) on using various foot pods on a normal treadmill with Zwift. My query is what will work on a curved manual treadmill.
