Hands-on with the Milestone Pod

The $25 Milestone Pod isn't an activity track. Its a Bluetooth-equipped foot pod with long battery life.

Setup is a breeze. You attach a small dock to the laces of your sneakers.

You then twist and snap the pod into place.

And then you are ready to go. The pod will automatically start recording your run once you start moving.

The pod is lightweight and you likely won't even notice it.

It can run all the running basics like duration, pace, distance and cadence.

There's also more advanced features like foot strike, ground contact, rate of impact, stride length and leg swing.

You may not initially understand why these are useful, but that the app provides helpful tips to bring you up to speed.

You can also view detailed charts.

You can even sign up to receive insights to help you improve your running form.
