Computes and Transmits Meaningful Data

• Computes and sends 6 running dynamics metrics to your compatible device¹
• Battery life: replaceable battery lasts up to 1 year (assuming 1 hour daily use)
• Automatically turns itself on and off
• Tiny size: at less than 0.5 ounces, you’ll forget it’s there
• Compatible devices connect² with the Garmin Connect™ Mobile app to automatically sync your data and connect with others

• How It Works

  The Running Dynamics Pod has an accelerometer in the module that measures torso movement to calculate these 6 running metrics:
  • Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It displays the total steps (right and left combined).
  • Ground contact time balance displays the left/right balance of your ground contact time while running. It displays a percentage. For example, 53.2 with an arrow pointing left or right.
  • Stride length is the length of your stride from 1 footfall to the next. It is measured in meters.
  • Vertical oscillation is your bounce while running. It displays the vertical motion of your torso, measured in centimeters for each step.
  • Vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical oscillation to stride length. It displays a percentage. A lower number typically indicates better running form.
  • Ground contact time is the amount of time in each step that you spend on the ground while running. It is measured in milliseconds.
