Here are the results from a 30 minute run showing how the power metric appears in Garmin Connect from a Garmin 935 and HRM-TRI. Treadmill – due to a lack of air resistance you should find power is 3-4% different indoors compared to the same given speed outdoors. So I will have to re-visit that for myself but to help you, please note: t o use zones & alerts for running power, the running power data field must be the only data field on the data screen (1 field layout). I’d not specifically tried to get those to work. On v1 of the app I couldn’t see the Power one gauge nor did I get the alerts.
If not, look at the following example where I change PACE to RUNNING power on my main running screenīeing serious for a minute, the apps/data fields are nicely responsive and perfectly usable as if they were any other Garmin metric on a round-faced watch.

You should already know how to change a data field. So when you add a data field (app) to a particular view on your watch, the whole of Running Power is good to go. Really, in Garmin’s terminology, they are NOT apps but rather ‘data fields’. On your watch, all you need to do to activate the entire Running Power ‘ecosystem’ is to simply use one of the apps somewhere on your current run profile. Garmin Express synchronizes your apps and their settings to your watch. These power zones can only be configured/accessed through the app configuration in Garmin Express. Note these zones are NOT accessed in the same way as HR/pace and other zones on your watch. But after a few hard runs with Garmin’s Running Power (or an FTP test) you should get meaningful zones soon enough. However much of my historical running power data is based on STRYD so it won’t be so useful as the two sets of power data are not interchangeable. I did set my Zone boundaries using automatically produced data from (free) Golden Cheetah which already supports Running Power and Cycling Power separately.
You will have to duplicate your efforts at making the app setting both for each app and for each watch you intend to use them on. The settings, fairly predictably, look like this: You can access the app options by selecting on the “3 dots” shown against each app in Garmin Express ie it is NOT possible to configure the settings on your watch.

Time to upgrade your watch for the ‘freebie’ app? App Selection & ConfigurationĪfter you have selected your app from the app store you sync to your watch as normal. ie mechanisms apparently exist for the Vivoactives to be supported if Garmin choose to implement them but I don’t think they will. Support for the Vivoactive 3 and Vivoactive HR may come in the future via ANT+ RD.
In addition you will needeither an RD-POD, HRM-RUN or HRM-TRI. Which means: Fenix 5 Fenix 5S, Fenix 5X Forerunner 935 and Chronos. CompatibilityĬompatibility is just the latest Fenix. ie It will show the first 4 of the above running power metrics. It will then show 4 bits of data in that one full-screen data field. The ‘Combo Running Power’ should be used on a one datafield screen.
