Running Dynamics
You can use your compatible fēnix 3 device paired with the
HRM-Run
™
accessory to provide real-time feedback about your
running form. If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with the
HRM-Run accessory, the devices are already paired.
The HRM-Run accessory has an accelerometer in the module
that measures torso movement in order to calculate three
running metrics: cadence, vertical oscillation, and ground
contact time.
NOTE:
The HRM-Run accessory is compatible with several
ANT+ fitness products and can display heart rate data when
paired. The running dynamics features are available only on
some Garmin devices.
Cadence
: Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It
displays total steps (right and left combined).
Vertical oscillation
: Vertical oscillation is your bounce while
running. It displays the vertical motion of your torso,
measured in centimeters for each step.
Ground contact time
: Ground contact time is the amount of
time in each step that you spend on the ground while
running. It is measured in milliseconds.
NOTE:
Ground contact time is not available while walking.
Training with Running Dynamics
Before you can view running dynamics, you must put on the
HRM-Run accessory and pair it with your device (
). If your fēnix 3 was packaged with the HRM-Run
accessory, the devices are already paired, and the fēnix 3 is set
to display running dynamics.
1
Select an option:
• If your HRM-Run accessory and fēnix 3 device are already
paired, skip to step 8.
• If your HRM-Run accessory and fēnix 3 device are not
already paired, complete all the steps in this procedure.

Color Gauges and Running Dynamics Data
The running dynamics screen displays a color gauge for the primary metric. You can display cadence, vertical oscillation, or ground
contact time as the primary metric. The color gauge shows you how your running dynamics data compares to those of other
runners. The color zones are based on percentiles.
