Garmin pod and power

MiguelB over 2 years ago

Hi, I bought a Running Dynamics Pod so I can see the power natively (I also have stryd).

The doubts I have are:

Where do I look up the stats, power curve and other power data for running? I only see information for cycling.

How do I get it to calculate the power zones by itself?

With stryd it does it by itself.

I have only done one workout, I don't know if that's why I don't get anything. Only the data when I finish a workout.
Thank you.

Hello all!

Forerunner 955 will not calculate Running Power zones on its own, but the FAQ below includes instructions for this process by making edits in the Real Time Settings:

Does it even have running power? Thought it's only running dynamics... stryd length, ground contact, etc?

You should be able to add power related data fields to your data screens - this should allow you to see your power while running

Devices->FR955->Activities & Apps->Run->Run Settings->Data Screens-> (edit or add a Data Screen) ->Field x->Power Fields->(pick a field).

You should be able to see the Running power in:

Devices->FR955->User Profile->Heart Rate & Power Zones->Power (I have both Running and Cycling listed and can't add to or remove these zones)

You can set up the auto detection in the same menu and use either FTP or TP as the basis of your power zone calculations.

However, the curves as seen in Performance Stats->Power Curve / Functional Threshold Power only seems to relate to cycling.

I already have everything as you indicate.
I already have the data fields to see the power when I train.

What I don't see is ftp and power curve for running.
