2 Select DOWN to scroll to the running dynamics data page toview your metrics.The primary metric appears as the top field on the data page.The gauge position corresponds with the primary metric.3 Hold MENU, and select the field to display as the primarymetric (optional).Running Dynamics Data and GaugesThe running dynamics screen displays a gauge for a primary metric. You can display cadence, vertical oscillation, or ground contacttime as the primary metric. The gauge shows you how your running dynamics data compares to those of other runners. The zonesare based on percentiles.Garmin has gathered data on runners with different levels of experience. The data values in zones four and five are typical for lessexperienced or slower runners. The data values in zones one, two, and three 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 moreexperienced runners. However, taller runners typically have slightly slower cadences and slightly higher vertical oscillation. Go towww.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.Zone Percentile in Zone Cadence Range Vertical Oscillation Range Ground Contact Time RangeÀ >95 >185 spm <6.7 cm <208 msÁ 70–95 174–185 spm 6.7–8.3 cm 208–240 msÂ 30–69 163–173 spm 8.4–10.0 cm 241–272 msÃ 5–29 151–162 spm 10.1–11.8 cm 273–305 msÄ <5 <151 spm >11.8 cm >305 msTips for Missing Running Dynamics DataIf running dynamics data does not appear, you can try thesetips.• 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 2 again,according to the instructions.• If the running dynamics data display zeros, make sure theHRM-Run module is worn right-side up.NOTE: Ground contact time appears only while running. Itcannot be calculated while walking.About VO2 Max. EstimatesYou can use your Garmin device paired with the heart ratemonitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. VO2 max. is themaximum volume of oxygen (in mililiters) you can consume perminute per kilogram of body weight at your maximumperformance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication ofathletic performance and should increase as your level offitness improves. VO2 max. estimates are provided andsupported by Firstbeat® Technologies Ltd.Getting Your VO2 Max. EstimateBefore you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must pairyour heart rate monitor with your fēnix 2 device (Pairing ANT+Sensors) and run for at least 10 minutes. For the most accurateestimate, you should complete the user profile setup (Setting UpYour User Profile), and set your maximum heart rate (SettingYour Heart Rate Zones).NOTE: The projections may seem inaccurate at first. Thedevice requires a few runs to learn about your runningperformance.1 Hold MENU.2 Select VO2 Max.The VO2 max. screen displays your VO2 max. estimate as anumber and position on the gauge.À SuperiorÁ ExcellentÂ GoodÃ FairÄ PoorVO2 max. data and analysis is provided with permission fromThe Cooper Institute®.
