RUN modes in the PulseMate are, respective,

2 feet (~0.6 meter) and 3 feet (~0.9 meter).

These are averages taken from adult males. In

order to achieve accurate mileage results from

your PulseMate, it is important that both lengths

of your walking and running strides are correctly

entered into the unit. This can be done in two

ways, which are having the PulseMate

automatically calculate the stride or manually

inputting the stride lengths. For either case, first

plan a route for your exercise and measure out

a distance of exactly 30 feet (10m) for the

calculations.
