About the Garmin HRM Run Heart Rate MonitorThe Garmin HRM Run is more than just a heart rate monitor. It tracks advanced running metrics such as cadence, ground contact time, stride length and more allowing you to work on every aspect of your running performance.
The HRM-Run heart rate monitor provides the most advanced running metrics to high-end Garmin Forerunner running watches. The strap is seamlessly comfortable and easily adjustable while the module is small, lightweight and fits entirely within the width strap.
This real-time data can help athletes take their performance to the next level by showing them where they can improve their running form.
Key FeaturesCadence — number of steps per minute
Vertical oscillation — degree of ‘bounce’ in your running motion; displays the vertical motion of your torso, measured in centimeters for each step
Ground contact time — amount of time in each step that you spend on the ground while running; measured in milliseconds
Ground contact time balance — displays the left/right balance of your ground contact time while running (displays a percentage); for example, 53.2 with an arrow pointing left or right
Stride length — length of your stride from 1 footfall to the next; measured in meters
Vertical ratio — ratio of vertical oscillation to stride length (displays a percentage); a lower number typically indicates better running form
