An inertial footpod is a device used to track running measurements such as speed, distance travelled, pace, etc., which would generally only be available on treadmills or with a GPS unit.{{cite book|title=Runner's Edge, The|publisher=Human Kinetics|isbn=9781450409025|page=19|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dcWybPNh6GwC&dq=foot+pod&pg=PA22|language=en}}
This device is usually small and attaches to a runner's foot. It uses one or more accelerometers and processes several times a second to compute speed.
One example is the foot pod employed by the Polar S625x running computer.
