Runn is reasonably easy to set up; just follow the instructions. You stick the reflectors onto the belt, which probably requires you to clean the patches to ensure they stick. You have to make sure the stickers are all the same offset from the edge of the belt, and then align the sensor box with the stickers. You can set the Runn to the show the same as your treadmill, but that defeats the purpose somewhat. The issue for some runners will be that you can't move the Runn sensor to different treadmills if you use a Gym.
=Is It Worth It?=
So, is it worth it? Well, the sensor is fairly cheap, listing at $99 at the time of writing, and it's almost certainly vastly more accurate than your treadmill display, and more accurate than the accelerometer in your running watch. It's more accurate than a standard [[Footpod]], and while [[Stryd]] is remarkably accurate outdoors, Stryd tends to struggle on a Treadmill due to the speed variations. Runn is also a convenient approach, and if you took the time to calibrate your treadmill, you could add the calibration factor into most running watches. The Runn also measures incline, though I'm not sure what software would support that measurement. I'd love to have incline data from my treadmill runs, but it may require a custom [[Connect IQ]] data field.=Gallary=<gallery widths=300px heights=300px class="center">File:NPE Runn (1).jpgFile:NPE Runn (2).jpgFile:NPE Runn (3).jpg</gallery>
