All the Numbers to Measure a Runner

Once running gets serious, fēnix 3 HR with optional HRM-Run monitor tracks all the advanced metrics that are needed to better understand and improve:

Advanced Running Dynamics¹ analyse your running:

• Vertical oscillation and ratio — the degree of ‘bounce’ in your running motion and the benefit ration to stride length
• Ground contact time and balance — shows how much time, in the running motion, your foot is on the ground rather than in flight and lets you check your running symmetry
• Cadence — number of steps per minute
• Stride length — determines a responsive current pace

Physiological metrics measures your heart to provide:

• Stress score – fēnix 3 measures your heart rate variability while standing still, for 3 minutes, to provide you with an estimated stress level. The scale of this is 1 to 100, low scores indicate lower stress levels
• Performance condition –  After running for 6-20 minutes, fēnix 3 compares your real-time condition to your average fitness levels
• Lactate threshold –  Through analysis of your pace and heart rate, fēnix 3 estimates the point where your muscles start to rapidly fatigue

You know your way

More than just ABC sensors

fēnix 3 HR is equipped with a barometric altimeter and an electronic 3-axis compass. The device auto-calibrates these sensors using its GPS receiver to provide the most accurate information possible. The built-in altimeter provides elevation data to accurately monitor ascent and descent, while the barometer can be used to predict weather changes by showing short-term trends in air pressure. The 3-axis electronic compass keeps your bearing whether you’re moving or not. For accurate temperature reading from the watch, pair the fēnix 3 with our external tempe temperature sensor.
