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.

Yeah the Tailwind is pretty cool. Did you get the one that transmits to a watch so you can tell how fast you are going while you are running? They didn't have that version when I bought mine so I just look at it at the end of the run.

You got it in altec.com?

Is that the correct website coz it looks like heavy equipment to me!

Sorry. Try Altrec.com this should work, unless it's heavy equipment you're looking for

No I didn't get the one that can transmit. I have a HRM from timex that does the timing for me. I just love gadets. Especially ones that actually benefit you and aren't just hype.
