Tips for Missing Running Dynamics Data
If running dynamics data does not appear, you can try
these tips.
y Make sure you have a running dynamics accessory,
such as the HRM-Run accessory.
Accessories with running dynamics have on the
front of the module.
y Pair the running dynamics accessory with
your Forerunner device again, according to the
instructions.
y If the running dynamics data display shows only
zeros, make sure the accessory is worn right-side
up.
NOTE: Ground contact time and balance appears
only while running. It is not calculated while
walking.
Performance Measurements
These performance measurements are estimates
that can help you track and understand your training
activities and race performances. The measurements
require a few activities using wrist-based heart rate or
a compatible chest heart rate monitor.
These estimates are provided and supported by
Firstbeat. For more information, go to www.garmin.
com/runningscience.
NOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first.
The device requires you to complete a few activities to
learn about your performance.
Training status: Training status shows you how your
training affects your fitness and performance.
Your training status is based on changes to your
training load and VO2 max. over an extended time
period.
VO2 max�: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of
oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute
per kilogram of body weight at your maximum
performance. Your device adjusts the VO2 max.
values for heat and altitude, such as when you
are acclimating to high heat environments or high
altitude.
Recovery time: The recovery time displays how much
time remains before you are fully recovered and
ready for the next hard workout.
Training load: Training load is the sum of your excess
post- exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) over
the last 7 days. EPOC is an estimate of how much
energy it takes for your body to recover after
exercise.
Predicted race times: Your device uses the VO2 max.
estimate and published data sources to provide
a target race time based on your current state of
fitness. This projection also presumes you have
completed the proper training for the race.
Performance condition: Your performance condition
is a real- time assessment after 6 to 20 minutes of
activity. It can be added as a data field so you can
view your performance condition during the rest of
your activity. It compares your real-time condition
to your average fitness level.
Turning Off Performance Notifications
Performance notifications are turned on by default.
Some performance notifications are alerts that appear
upon completion of your activity. Some performance
notifications appear during an activity or when you
achieve a new performance measurement, such as a
new VO2 max. estimate.
1 From the watch face, hold UP.
2 Select Settings > Physiological Metrics >
Performance Notifications.
3 Select an option.
Detecting Your Heart Rate Automatically
The Auto Detection feature is turned on by default. The
device can automatically detect your maximum heart
rate during an activity.
You can watch the color gauge or data field during your run or view the summary on your Garmin Connect
account after your run. As with the other running dynamics data, ground contact time balance is a quantitative
measurement to help you learn about your running form.
Vertical Oscillation and Vertical Ratio Data
The data ranges for vertical oscillation and vertical ratio are slightly different depending on the sensor and whether
it is positioned at the chest (HRM-Tri or HRM-Run accessories) or at the waist (Running Dynamics Pod accessory).
