Using Virtual Run and Garmin ANT+ HR strap... which footpod?

Former Member

Hi there,

I'm going to start treadmill running soon and also want to start using Zwift. I've read about the Virtual Run profile on my FR245m.

When I run outdoors, I usually connect my old ANT+ chest strap (leftover from a previous FR620), as it gives me running dynamics and HR. My questions now are:

  • can I connect an additional foot pod (old-stool ANT+ or BT) to my FR245m?
  • should I go for BT or older (cheaper?) ANT+ ... which is better?
  • will using a footpod (any) mean I'll get more accuracy in Zwift With regards to distance?

Thanks for your help. 

Michael
