Running Power

If you already own the right Garmin devices, adding power to your run is free. All you need is a fēnix 5/fēnix 5S/ fēnix 5X, fēnix Chronos, Forerunner 935 and 1 of these 3 accessories: HRM-Run , HRM-Tri or the Running Dynamics Pod. Visit the Running Science page to learn more.

*The UltraTrac feature is a GPS setting that records track points and sensor data less frequently. Enabling the UltraTrac feature increases battery life but decreases the quality of recorded activities. You should use the UltraTrac feature for activities that demand longer battery life and for which frequent sensor data updates are less important.
