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.

estimate. You can use your Garmin device paired with a

compatible heart rate monitor to display your running VO2 max.

VO2 max. data and analysis is provided with permission from

The Cooper Institute

. For more information, see the appendix

(VO2 Max. Standard Ratings), and go to

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.

Run for at least 10 minutes outdoors.

After your run, select Save.

Hold UP.

Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling

Before you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must put on

the heart rate monitor, install the power meter, and pair them

with your fēnix 3 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 rides to learn about your cycling performance.

Ride at a steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes

outdoors.

After your ride, select Save.
