If your fēnix device was packaged with the HRM-Run accessory, the devices are already paired.The running dynamics accessory has an accelerometer that measures torso movement in order to calculate six running metrics.Cadence: Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It displays the 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.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 and balance are not available while walking.Ground contact time balance: Ground contact time balance displays the left/right balance of your ground contact time while running. It displays a percentage. For example, 53.2 with an arrow pointing left or right.Stride length: Stride length is the length of your stride from one footfall to the next. It is measured in meters.Vertical ratio: Vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical oscillation to stride length. It displays a percentage. A lower number typically indicates better running form.Training with Running DynamicsBefore you can view running dynamics, you must put on a running dynamics accessory, such as the HRM-Run accessory, and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 31). If your fēnix 5/5S/5X Plus was packaged with the accessory, the devices are already paired, and the fēnix 5/5S/5X Plus is set to display running dynamics data screens.1Select an option:• If your running dynamics accessory and fēnix 5/5S/5X Plus device are already paired, skip to step 7.• If your running dynamics accessory and fēnix 5/5S/5X Plus device are not already paired, complete all the steps in this procedure.2Hold MENU.3Select Settings > Activities & Apps.4Select an activity.5Select the activity settings.6Select Data Screens > Add New.7Select a running dynamics data screen.NOTE: The running dynamics screens are not available for all activities.8Go for a run (Starting an Activity, page 2).9Select UP or DOWN to open a running dynamics screen to view your metrics.Color Gauges and Running Dynamics DataThe running dynamics screens display a color gauge for the primary metric. You can display cadence, vertical oscillation, ground contact time, ground contact time balance, or vertical ratio as the primary metric. The color gauge shows you how your running dynamics data compare to those of other runners. The color zones are based on percentiles.Heart Rate Features 11
