You can control the speed of the video manually or for a more interactive experience, you can add an ANT+ connection. ANT+ is the wireless protocol found in most of today's most popular sports watches and accessories, many of which you may already own! We also support Blue tooth light devices such as the Polar Stride Sensor. Note that only some tablets have built-in ANT+, and all devices have Blue tooth light.
ANT+ devices may be found here: www.thisisant.com/directory.
Attach the footpod to your shoelace. (On screen heart rate monitor display is available as an optional feature as well with an ANT+/blue tooth light compliant heart rate strap) Next, you select which video or videos wish to view and start the program. After a brief countdown, your video begins to play on your tablet. As you run, the footpod transmits your pace to the wireless receiver. This data is read by the Virtual Runner Software, which adjusts the speed of the video based on this data. If you run faster, the video will speed up. If you slow down, the video will slow down. See your overall time, average pace, distance covered (by mile or km) cadance and heart rate. Virtual Runner is sure to make time fly and improve your overall treadmill experience.
