I can't see "step speed loss"

COFFEEYOUTOO 1 month ago

I ran 30KM with FR970 and HRM600 last weekend

I can see my existing running dynamics data, but SSL(step speed loss) is not showing (both on the watch face indicator while active and in Garmin Connect)

Is my HRM600 defective? Is this a bug? Or does SSL require a lot of running data to be accumulated?

Have you paired your HRM600 in secure mode? SSL works only if the hrm is paired in secure mode, ant+ won't deliver SSL metrics

Just tried on an 11km run. After the switch to BLE SSL is visible in the running statistics of the run. What is still missing is the "running economy" stats in the connect app. It states that multiple runs…

Was just looking at the latest DC Rainmaker detailed video and he said it takes plus 5 runs to show up

Me neither on FR970 V6.16 and HRM600 V5.2 after 18km.

Maybe it takes a few runs before it shows?

"Whereas, once you do have data from the HRM 600, you’ll get more data shown after you’ve completed a number of runs, preferably flatter ones."

using ANT+ only

I was on ANT+. Switched to secure BLE. Thanks tsofron. Will test on the next run.

Please let us know how it went!
Are you also seeing additional metrics like GCT balance and others?

In my experience, the HRM-PRO+ (with FR955) never worked reliably over Bluetooth—data was often inconsistent or missing. I’m curious to hear if BLE is performing more reliably on HRM 600.

He literally said running economy takes 5-7 runs to show up, not step speed loss.

Here's a direct link to that part of the video (33:00):

What may be causing confusion here is that he also said running economy is based (in part) on changes in step speed loss over time.
