Garmin has researched many runners of all different levels. The data values in the red or orange zones are typical for less
experienced or slower runners. The data values in the green, blue, or purple zones are typical for more experienced or faster
runners. Less experienced runners tend to exhibit longer ground contact times, higher vertical oscillation, and lower cadence than
more experienced runners. However, taller runners typically have slightly slower cadences and slightly higher vertical oscillation. Go
to www.garmin.com for more information on running dynamics. For additional theories and interpretations of running dynamics data,
you can search reputable running publications and websites.
Color Zone Percentile in Zone Cadence Range Vertical Oscillation Range Ground Contact Time Range
Purple >95 >185 spm <6.7 cm <208 ms
Blue 70–95 174–185 spm 6.7–8.3 cm 208–240 ms
Green 30–69 163–173 spm 8.4–10.0 cm 241–272 ms
Orange 5–29 151–162 spm 10.1–11.8 cm 273–305 ms
Red <5 <151 spm >11.8 cm >305 ms
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.
The HRM-Run accessory has on the front of the module.
Pair the HRM-Run accessory with your fēnix 3 again,
according to the instructions.
If the running dynamics data display zeros, make sure the
HRM-Run module is worn right-side up.
NOTE: Ground contact time appears only while running. It
cannot be calculated while walking.
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. VO2 max. estimates are provided and
supported by Firstbeat® Technologies Ltd. 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.

Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Running
Before you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must put on
the heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+
Sensors). If your fēnix 3 device was packaged with a heart rate
monitor, the devices are already paired. For the most accurate
estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User
Profile), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart
Rate Zones).
NOTE: The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device
requires a few runs to learn about your running performance.
1Run for at least 10 minutes outdoors.
