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.

Not really. It's good for walking on an incline but I'd look around for a better one. This one seems to be weak in the rear for running.

Yes. I like the device; however, don't plan on using it while doing any activity (i.e. running) b/c it fits a little loose.

You have the use it with an app on your smartphone. There are a bunch to choose from. I use mapmyrun and there is a selection in it for other gym workout. I use it all the time when I do t25

I do inside runners on treadmill using my 920XT without foot pod and works quite good (I don't know what black magic garmin did to make it works). Maybe something with new HR3 and my previous run behaviour/style on GPS recorded tracks.

I could not tell anyone about running, although I will tell you it does a great job for walking and location of walks, also does a great job with sleep patterns. Sorry I couldn't help with the running.Cons, I have had problems loosing my history when my phone needed to update, was able to retrive the info with some amount of frustration.

No not for running... It's top pace is 4 mph.... Fast walking.... Or walking but for like 3 hours or more

Yes, as far as I know, you need some sort of Garmin watch to be able to connect and track your runs.

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.

It is best used for walking but I did jog just to see what it can do. The machine was just fine. As far as a full blown run I have no idea. I am not the running kind of gal. ; )

I am not a distance runner whatsoever so I wouldn't know if this would be a good training tool for that. I played basketball and lacrosse in college and used the ladder quite a bit for agility and conditioning. I bought the ladder to use as a form of conditioning in conjunction with interval cardio training and weight lifting.. This person below seems to know what they're talking about too.

Yes! The download after your run is amazing. It is also much more accurate than devices that count your steps/revolutions bases on your stride/wheel size.

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

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

It's not really designed for running. The wheels are hard plastic, not rubber. It's more a jogging style look as opposed to function

I use it for running a few times a week. I personally don't have a problem with it. the weights are pretty easy to take out so you can adjust how much weight your running with. I haven't had an issue yet

I LOVE mine and I haven't even completely learned all of it's features. I chose it because my running coach (who also does tri's) has it and I knew that she could help me. I believe it would be a good choice, unless the mountain areas are poor GPS locations. Other than that, I recommend it!
