The company that brought you a cycle computer on your iPhone via ANT+ now has a run and gym solution. The Wahoo Run Pack from Wahoo Fitness is ideal for cyclists looking to cross-train in the colder winter months. Of course it also works quite well for those who simply run or go to the gym, even if they don’t ride a bike as part of training.
The Wahoo Run/Gym Pack includes a Wahoo Key and heart rate sensor. The key is a dongle that snaps into the iPhone’s 30-pin connector. This key, which connects to an iPhone 3G/3GS or iPhone 4, it’s also compatible with an iPod Touch and iPad. The key reads data collected from any ANT+ sensor. It’s compatible with ANT+ devices from other manufacturers such as a shoe pod that measures your steps and speed. The heart rate sensor is simply a chest strap that you get with any heart rate monitor.
Wahoo’s Run/Gym pack is the perfect complement to the bike pack, or as a standalone tool to measure your workouts. Use it to log runs and get the actual results of your training such as the speed and distance of each run.
The Wahoo Run/Gym Pack sells for $119.99 on the Wahoo Fitness web site.
