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

The device uses this information to calculate accurate training data.1Hold MENU.2Select Settings > User Profile.3Select an option.Fitness GoalsKnowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying these principles.• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength.If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page 17) to determine the best heart rate zone for your fitness objectives.If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.About Heart Rate ZonesMany athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.Setting Your Heart Rate ZonesThe device uses your user profile information from the initial setup to determine your default heart rate zones. You can set separate heart rate zones for sport profiles, such as running, cycling, and swimming. For the most accurate calorie data during your activity, set your maximum heart rate. You can also set each heart rate zone and enter your resting heart rate manually. You can manually adjust your zones on the device or using your Garmin Connect account.1Hold MENU.2Select Settings > User Profile > Heart Rate.3Select Max.
