Technogym MyRun
The MyRun connects to apps over Bluetooth FTMS, the open standard Derny uses, so Derny should read your speed and steer the run by your heart rate. Apps other than Technogym’s own don’t usually get to change its speed, so most likely Derny tells you the speed and you set it. We haven’t tested a MyRun ourselves yet.
At a glance
How sure are we?
The MyRun sends its speed over Bluetooth FTMS, which is what Derny reads, so we expect it to connect and record. Changing its speed from an app is another matter: Technogym certifies the apps that can control it, and popular apps such as Zwift don’t change its pace or incline.
So the likely experience is a coached run. Derny reads your heart rate and the belt speed, tells you the speed to run, and you press the buttons. Derny checks when it connects, so if your MyRun does accept speed commands, Derny sets the belt instead.
Two ways Derny can run it
Derny changes the belt speed from your heart rate, never faster than the max auto speed you choose. Change the speed on the console any time and Derny carries on from there.
Derny shows you the speed to run, for example “GO TO 6.0 mph”, and you press the console buttons. Your heart rate still decides what Derny asks for.
Getting started
Workouts
Hold one steady, easy heart rate, such as your zone 2, for the whole run. The speed comes down as you tire so you can keep holding it.
A warm-up, then three long hard blocks. Each block’s speed is based on how your heart responded to the one before.
Just run and record, or build your own workout with speed targets and heart-rate rules.
Staying in control
Ending the workout doesn’t stop the belt. Pause or End in Derny stops it changing the speed. To stop running, use Stop on the console or the safety key.
Questions people ask
It should. The MyRun connects to apps over Bluetooth FTMS, the standard Derny uses. Most likely Derny shows you the speed to run and you set it, because apps other than Technogym’s own don’t usually control its belt. We haven’t tested a MyRun ourselves yet.
Technogym’s own app can. Other apps usually can’t: Technogym certifies the apps that may control it, and Zwift doesn’t change its pace. Derny checks when it connects, and sets the belt only if the MyRun allows it.
The MyRun takes one Bluetooth connection at a time. Close the Technogym app or any other app connected to it, then connect again in Derny.
Press Stop on the console or pull the safety key. Pausing or ending the workout in Derny stops it changing the speed, but doesn’t stop the belt.
Usually not. Most treadmills connect to one app at a time, so close the other app before you connect Derny.
Yes. Connect Strava once and every finished run or walk uploads on its own. Derny also saves it to Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android.
Own one?
We haven’t run this treadmill ourselves yet, and we want Derny to work on as many treadmills as possible. If you own one, get in touch, whether it works perfectly, only shows you the speed, or doesn’t connect at all. Email the make and model to [email protected] and we’ll work with you to get it working.
