"Watches Compatible With Wrist-Based Running Dynamics
The following watches will support wrist-based running power to calculate five running form metrics without the use of a running dynamics accessory. For all six running form metrics, you must pair your watch with an HRM-Pro series accessory or other running dynamics accessory that measures torso movement. For information on wrist-based running power, see your owner's manual.
NOTE: Ground contact time balance is available only with a compatible running dynamics accessory.

Both footpods will fairly accurately track distance on a treadmill once calibrated. The Garmin one is calibrated more or less automatically once you use it for a run outside.
i heard stories of mowing to ankle or put in the pocket, but I really just wanted to leave the watch on my wrist.
Also a runner and I heard that if you already have an optical HRM you can use this in lieu of the HRM Run strap.

I find that the Garmin unit is easier to use if you were between the two. I never got the Stryd quite right to stop duplicate posts to Strava and used it for years before someone told me I had it upside down. Apparently Stryd has an "air hole"???

The airhole is so Stryd can calculate things like head/tailwind iirc for more accurate power calculations.
but he is not wrong either. for most regular people above 40 ( read not really active and slightly overweight), I would recommend to replace running by 1h+ active walk (or paced swimming) daily plus weight training as the most efficient way to maintain muscles and stay fit. An hour of active walk / swimming a day is no slouch and requires commitment. I would avoid HIIT as well and do limited cardio in the beginning as well (it sounds crazy but people tend to overdo cardio when their body is not ready for it). I am speaking as a previously hardcore cross fit guy who wants to be able to play tennis or basket ball with his kids as long as possible. I am not a doctor or an expert just a pragmatic and realistic person.
And if you have an HRM-TRI or HRM-PRO it's the same metrics added.

I was doing Insanity Max 30 while playing in an Over 30 soccer league and developed bruises on my quads by my knees. This year, I planned it so now I'm wrapping up P90X3 and moving onto Body Beast (since it is largely no impact) during soccer. It was really hard to spend most of last summer season just doing yoga and the low impact modifiers simply because my body said I had gone beyond my limit.
I use the Garmin watch. Sometimes I got lazy and use Strata, which you can import to your Garmin website too.
Some of the Garmin heart rate strap have the running dynamics in it too, just saying.
