Useful for non-runners?

It calculates calories based primarily on weight and distance (with an age adjustment, I believe). It uses relatively simple formulas just like a treadmill. That's fine for running and walking. It's not going to do much for you in most other workouts.

yes you can but i recommend you to turn off the GPS. If you want to track how long have you run, I recommend you to get the foot pod, I just got one and it is awesome, it tells you what is the frequency of your steps and even it can measure the distance that you have run without the GPS. I hope my answer helped you.

I don't jog, or run, however, I do walk, working in the back yard, hauling mulch back and forth etc. I love them. Once you get them positioned in your ear you are off and probably running!

For an occasional brief run over smooth ground, it would be ok. But if you want to run every day, or several times a week, I would definitely get a jogging stroller. A proper jogger will roll more smoothly and absorb bumps better.

My husband has a Garmin watch that he loves for training purposes. You might be better off with one of those types of products. It uses GPS to track distance traveled and gives you your pace and other things. It works with software and you can see the map of your hike and other neat features. Of course, that will cost more, but might be more useful to you.

I've had the single and double version of the city mini. I personally found the single fine to jog with... A little heavy but good on flat paved surfaces. I found the double to be more of a convenient, light, fast walking stroller. I run a good amount and used both through toddler age for my kids. If you are looking to jog (10 min miles or slower) I feel like this is fine. I don't think it is the best for running. If you are looking to go faster, best RUNNING stroller is the B.O.B

The foot pod would be a great add. Although you do not need the foot pod to get your running speed, but it gives additional information which helps with training, like cadence and indoor speed for those cold days when you are forced to get your training on a treadmill.

I suppose you could use it that way. They aren't very tight on my head so depending on how fast you run, they might fall off.

If you wear arch supports in your running shoes, it would be worth trying in training. I have mixed some jogging in with my walking. Not a marathon but but they helped during and after.

I would probably not use it for running because it is meant for lifting aid.

Distance running possibly. Sprints no. The elastic is strong and is adjustable. Don't drop it though because the arms that hold the light onto the band are fairly brittle and will snap easily. The unit is light enough so for a cheapo light it will probably work.

Actually, I found t-shirt clip on eBay and use it to hold it in place while I am boxing. I am pretty sure same will work for runners too. So these can be used by runners if you find a way to fixate remote on your clothes somehow.

I am partially paralyzed and use these to build up strength with leg exercises. They're kind of 'poofy' but you CAN cinch them pretty tightly with the velcro straps so they dont slide up and down. They're larger and bulkier than ankle weights which are a pre-set weight though. I think for running or walking I'd prefer something a bit more sleek. These are perfect for my stationary exercises, but I don't think I'd choose them for running. Just my personal preference. Hope this helps!

If you just need to track your speed, distance and calorie, you may not need any more equipment. However, if you want to track them accurate and have a post mortem of your run like elevation, speed-to-the-min, plot them to online charts and see statistics then I would suggest you to go for something better.

I only use it for walking, and it works fine for that. Not sure about running. Sorry.

It is quite bulky, and is not intended for quick movement(running, jumping, etc). If you want something you have a bit more freedom of movement in, I suggest you skip this one and continue your search.

To use for informational purpose yes, however if it is in attempt to get approval from insurance for any reason such as oxygen use at home then NO. I bought it for running, it reads wonderfully on a still finger or with minimal movement but will not read at all with fast paced walking or running.
