Foot pod and RDP

Hi everyone, have any of you tried using a foot pod together with RDP? I noticed that the instant pace is not accurate, it has a lot of rhythm variations, I would like to add it to my current RDP with which you measure all other metrics. Here on the forum I had read that the new Garmin foot pod should have been released (they have long since retired the old one), but for now they have not presented anything.

I use it all the time, although not with the 945 (until recently I used the 735XT, and now an F6). No issues with pace whatsoever. Make sure that footpod as pace source is set to "Always", because AFAIK…

Yes.

I use

speed: always

distance: only when gps not available

Tested Zwift foot pod combined with RDP, I confirm that it works perfectly and now finally the instantaneous rhythm is correct, I have overlaid the Garmin power tracks with that of the rhythm and the peaks are synchronized (I don't know how to publish the photos on the forum). I also noticed that the pace of the whole race is finally regular and even from the clock you can understand how much you are running, the pace obtained from the gps is not reliable.
