Running Dynamics
You can use your compatible Forerunner® device paired with the HRM-Run™ accessory or HRM-Tri™ accessory to provide real-time feedback about your running form. If your Forerunner device was packaged with the heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired.
The heart rate monitor has an accelerometer in the module that measures torso movement in order to calculate six running metrics.
NOTE:
The
HRM-Run accessory and the
HRM-Tri accessory are compatible with several
ANT+® fitness products and can display heart rate data when paired. The running dynamics features are available on only some
Garmin® devices.
