Using HRM Pro Chest Strap to Run having a Venu and a Edge 530

Hello, I'm a biker but sometimes also a runner.

I know that the Venu doesn't support advanced metrics from HRM chest straps, but the Edge 530 do. So I was wondering if running with HRM Pro (that can store data offline) and Venu, and then sync my run on Garmin Connect having also my Edge 530 registered, could give me all the advanced metrics about the run.

Thank you so much!

I can't test this (only have a 5x plus and an Edge 530), but from my understanding and using my HRM-PRO...

The HRM-PRO only stores heart rate offline not all of the Running Dynamics data (www8.garmin.com/.../GUID-B0C7A4BE-2C41-439E-8CB5-0F403D6C5C14.html)
In order to use Running Dynamics you need to be connected over ANT+ to a watch that supports it during the activity (www8.garmin.com/.../GUID-62A09512-518A-424A-8491-FE2B80CD2091.html)
The Edge 530 supports Cycling Dynamics (not Running Dynamics) and it's happening on device, not a licensing type thing after the fact. For this to theoretically work the Edge would need to support Running Dynamics and you'd need to run with the Edge.

Neither the Venu or Edge 530 support the advanced running metrics from any of our Heart Rate Monitors. You also cannot sync a run on your Venu through the Edge. Both of those devices will sync to Garmin Connect, but not directly to one another.
