Subject: Nike SDM Tailwind I just recieved my new Nike SDM Tailwind (speed, distance monitor ) in the mail and couldn't wait to get outside and go for a run to try it out. Of course I didn't take the extra five minutes to learn how to calibrate it to make it 99% accurate but it was close enough on the first try.
It hooks under your laces and sits ontop of the tongue on your sneaker. I didn't even feel it was there! What a great little gadet. I got it on Altec.com for about 99$. A little birthday present for me from me Gotta love that. Once I calibrate it I'm sure it will get even closer to being right on as opposed to the 95% accuracy right out of the box.
Definately worth a try if you aren't getting quality results from your standard pedometer and don't have the few hundred dollars to spend on a HRM with GPS. Hope someone benfits from this. Happy Holidays and safe training.
