Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Cancelled / Refunded Orders Prior to Despatch

Occassionally our site will state that a particular item is in stock & avaible for despatch, when in fact it isnt. This is a unfortunate feature of our ecommerce system & the way our supplier SIM's operate and is beyond our control.

Please check your emails for notifications on the status of your order. We will accept no responsibilty for emails dropping into spam folders or going un-noticed.

Garmin Advanced Running Dynamics Pod

Brand:Garmin

Code:GMS52000

Train Hard, Run Free

The Running Dynamics Pod easily clips onto your waistband to measure the running dynamics you need to beat yesterday. It gives you the option to run without a heart rate monitor chest strap. Once paired with your compatible smartwatch1, just clip it to the back and center of your waistband and start your run.

Key Features:

  • Measure the metrics that matter to you with the running dynamics pod
  • acts as an alternative way of collecting the same running dynamics data normally collected by hrm-run chest strap
  • an accelerometer in the module measures torso movement to calculate these 6 running metrics below:
  • cadence is the number of steps per minute. It displays the total steps (right and left combined)
  • ground contact time balance displays the left/right balance of your ground contact time while running. It displays a percentage. For example, 53.2 with an arrow pointing left or right
  • stride length is the length of your stride from 1 footfall to the next. It is measured in metres
  • vertical oscillation is your bounce while running. It displays the vertical motion of your torso, measured in centimetres for each step
  • vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical oscillation to stride length. It displays a percentage. A lower number typically indicates better running form
  • ground contact time is the amount of time in each step that you spend on the ground while running. It is measured in milliseconds
  • 1 year plus battery life
  • automatically turns itself on and off
  • tiny and unobtrusive, the pod weighs less than 14 g
  • compatible with forerunner 935, forerunner 735xt, fenix 5 and fenix chronos
  • water rated to 1 atm
  • battery type: cr1632 (user replaceable)

Review Your Form

View and analyze important running metrics such as your cadence, stride length, ground contact time and balance, vertical oscillation and vertical ratio. These biomechanical measurements can help you understand your running form so you can perform better on race day.

How It Works

The Running Dynamics Pod has an accelerometer in the module that measures torso movement to calculate these 6 running metrics:

  • Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It displays the total steps (right and left combined).
  • Ground contact time balance displays the left/right balance of your ground contact time while running. It displays a percentage. For example, 53.2 with an arrow pointing left or right.
  • Stride length is the length of your stride from 1 footfall to the next. It is measured in meters.
  • Vertical oscillation is your bounce while running. It displays the vertical motion of your torso, measured in centimeters for each step.
  • Vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical oscillation to stride length. It displays a percentage. A lower number typically indicates better running form.
  • Ground contact time is the amount of time in each step that you spend on the ground while running. It is measured in milliseconds.
