Probably the least expensive way to run on Zwift Running is using the Zwift RunPod. It had some problems in the past that have largely been resolved with a recent firmware update. I’ve had one for about a year now, and while a great deal of that year I’ve been testing the Stryd Power Footpod, which also works well with Zwift, I’ve recently returned to using the Zwift RunPod as a Dual Wielder!

Here’s a video I created back in the day .. well, last year … as I got one set up with my original Zwift installation. Note that the RunPod is BLE only [Bluetooth LE] so will not work with Windows PC’s that did not come from the factory with BLE as a working option. Laptops? Most qualify. Desktops? Most need an extension cable with ANT+ to use Zwift. That’s not BLE. There is a workaround to use your phone as an extension of your PC install, using the Zwift Companion App to use the BLE on your mobile device. I’ll show you more about that later. Let’s get to the video quick.
