Walking App with "running metrics"

Former Member over 4 years ago

As a Race Walker with a Fenix 5, it would be very useful to have all the run Metrics. Stride length, Vertical Osc, Vert Ratio, GCT, GCT Balance, Cadence, etc but recorded as a Walking Activity. As Race Walking is so technical the metrics would be even more useful than when I run.

I have Race Walked with the Running App, but with Virtual Races taking place, I need proof of a Walk.

So many different sports Apps on Fenix 5, maybe Garmin can add Race walking and Power Walking , to include all the "running metrics".

I haven't found a suitable App in Connect IQ

Can't you just add a native Walking activity with all of those metrics?

Walking apps from Garmin exclude those metrics. It seem to be an incorrect perception that they are not required by walkers.

Maybe not when I'm just walking, but my Race walking is sub 10min/mile and I'm just starting out. Top Race walkers race 10km in under 40mins.
