Footpod Calibration

The accuracy of the speed distance monitor (footpod) is 97% out of the box for a majority of users. Some users with

certain stride characteristics, such as pronation and supination, will not obtain 97% accuracy until a simple

calibration procedure is performed. Calibration can be done either manually or using the auto-calibration feature.

Manual Calibration

• Manual calibration involves the adjustment of a multiplication factor that is then applied to all future speed

and distance measurements.

• The nominal value of the manual calibration factor is 1.000.

• The nominal value can be adjusted upwards or downwards if the athlete has a known reference distance to

calculate the calibration factor appropriately.

• The manual calibration factor will be automatically adjusted following an auto-calibration process, and can be

recorded for future reference (for example to track calibration values for multiple users).

Calibration

• Perform auto-calibration by running a known ‘truth’ distance, such as a 400-meter track. For best results,

choose a truth distance between 400 and 1000 meters

• After running, adjust the measured distance to the ‘actual’ distance that you ran.

• Auto-calibration will automatically calculate and apply the required calibration factor for you.

• *** When calibrating, place the footpod on the same foot that you will typically use for all runs.

• *** Perform the run at your typical running pace. Note that the footpod will still give accurate data at other

speeds.
