HMR-Pro vs. Foot Pod on 955S

Hi,

just wonder if the wrist HR will be in the meantime a good enough replacment for belt HR?

Can you then replace running dynamics (like Power) with the foot pod? belt HR gives me on longer run some skin irritations. And i thought it would be an alternative.

Yours,

Frank

This is exactly what I did. I had a heart rate belt, rd pod and foot pod. Eventually I decided to use the rd pod + foot pod combo only.

The wrist hr is accurate enough and it works better for me, because the heart rate belt often misplaced after some time.

You won't get running dynamics nor power from a foot pod. You need an RD pod for that.

All right. Thanks. Have seen this. Stryd might be also an alternative. But has to be recharged every 20 hours. Not that kind of thing i want to keep my head about, when i want to go for a run. RD Pod has probably a battery that lasts as long as a HTM-Run.

Thanks. I was wondering if the HRM-Run is still needed. VO2MAX does also get updated with just wrist HR i assume.

Seems like wrist HR got good enough to do the job. For certain runs if maybe needed you can still use belt HR.

sure the wrist hr is able to update your vo2max from time to time, but wrist hr will not give you the lactic threshold hr, i dont miss this data too much though.

Was wondering about lactic threshold hr in the past, since it does not update any more. Stays the same for a year probably now. Wearing HRM-Run on all my runs.

Maybe need to reset the settings.

To get lactate threshold your run needs to include sections with increasing intensity.

Ok, done some intervals too. Seems like need ot have an accending hr. Have to check with range is expected.

Hello,

With RD Pod as it was mentioned you get all the run dynamics but be aware if you care for running power that there's a diference in values from HRM- Pro to RD Pod (about 10% in my case), so it can be tricky if you change gear.

Regards,

Antonio

Using Training Peaks with Running Power. That will probably interfere with the values (TSS - Training Stress Score) there also.
