Right now, you can grab the Garmin Running Dynamics Pod for just $32 at Amazon. That's less than half the list price, and the cheapest we've ever seen this smart little wearable, which adds a whole new level of insight to the data gathered by your Garmin watch.
The Garmin Running Dynamics Pod clips onto the waistband of your running shorts or running tights, and collects data on your running form. Cadence, stride length, vertical oscillation (how high you bounce with each step), and ground contact time are all detected and transmitted to your watch via ANT+.
