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.

Tips for Missing Running Dynamics Data

If running dynamics data does not appear, you can try these

tips.

• Make sure you have the HRM-Run accessory.

Accessories with running dynamics have

module.

• Pair the HRM-Run accessory with your fēnix 3 device again,

according to the instructions.

• If the running dynamics data display shows only zeros, make

sure the heart rate monitor is worn right-side up.

NOTE: Ground contact time and balance appears only while

running. It is not calculated while walking.

Physiological Measurements

These physiological measurements require a compatible heart

rate monitor. The measurements are estimates that can help

you track and understand your training activities and race

performances. These estimates are provided and supported by

Firstbeat.

NOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The device

requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your

performance.

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.

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.

Recovery advisor: The recovery advisor displays how much

time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the

next hard workout.

Stress score: Stress score measures your heart rate variability

while standing still for 3 minutes. It provides your overall

stress level. The scale is 1 to 100, and a lower score

indicates a lower stress level.

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.

Lactate threshold: Lactate threshold is the point where your

muscles start to rapidly fatigue. Your device measures your

lactate threshold level using heart rate and pace.

About VO2 Max. Estimates

VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you

can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your

maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an

indication of athletic performance and should increase as your

level of fitness improves. The fēnix 3 device has separate VO2

max. estimates for running and cycling. You can use your

Garmin device paired with a compatible heart rate monitor and

power meter to display your cycling VO2 max. estimate. You

can use your Garmin device paired with a compatible heart rate

monitor to display your running VO2 max. estimate.

Your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and position on

the color gauge.
