"running efficiency" using navigation?

Former Member over 6 years ago

Hi.
I imported a course/route on my fenix 5x. When I follow this route ("navigation") and start an activity, my watch doesn't show/record any information about the "running effiency". It also shows my speed (mp/h) instead of pace. When I change the activity type from "other" to "running" after finishing, the speed-information changes to pace, but I don't know how to show the "running efficiency" information.

Hopefully You do understand what I'm trying to say :-)

Hi!
don't use the navigation app. use the app running, then long-press the up button goto navigation and start navigation. so your watch is recording the running dynamics and is navigation you.
hope that helps.
i prefer to use the main activity first (doesn't matter if i am hiking, running, cycling) then goto navigating. i only the app navigation, when i just walk to somewhere i don't know how to get there.

Where do you see an option for a running efficiency data field?

You have to run with an Hrm-run, Hrm-tri or running pod. When you are connected to one of them, you see that in your datapages as well as in connect.

Hi all...I know this is not the subject of this forum, but I always run with a HRM-Tri, and I haven't seen the running efficiency data field on my Fenix 5x, could someone please tell me where can I find it, and what info does it shows?
Thanks!!

when you go into the running app. there should be 2 new "trainigpages" (don't know the correct english word for it. data screens or something like that). if not, you can add a new trainingpage and add the data fields which are under running dynamics. the data should also be seen in connect after the run. remember, it only shows your data when you're running ( i think trail running too). but not on walking, hiking or something else.
