Color Gauges and Running Dynamic Data 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. More experienced runners tend to exhibit shorter ground contact times, lower vertical oscillation, lower vertical ratio, and higher cadence than less experienced runners. However, taller runners typically have slightly slower cadences, longer strides, and slightly higher vertical oscillation. Vertical ratio is your vertical oscillation divided by stride length. It is not correlated with height. For additional theories and interpretations of running dynamics data, you can search reputable running publications and websites.

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. More experienced runners tend to exhibit shorter ground contact times,
lower vertical oscillation, lower vertical ratio, and higher cadence than less experienced runners. However, taller
runners typically have slightly slower cadences, longer strides, and slightly higher vertical oscillation. Vertical
ratio is your vertical oscillation divided by stride length. It is not correlated with height.

Using an Optional Bike Speed or Cadence Sensor
You can use a compatible bike speed or cadence sensor to send data to your watch.
•
Pair the sensor with your watch (
Pairing Your Wireless Sensors
, page 49
).
•
Set your wheel size (
Wheel Size and Circumference
, page 94
).
•
Go for a ride (
Starting an Activity
, page 3
).
