My cynicism about cash-grabbing Garmin has waned somewhat of late. With the fairly recent HRM4-TRI/HRM4-SWIM caching of swim data I was very pleasantly surprised. And now we have the advanced running metrics in beta.
I downloaded the v6.13 beta firmware today which ALSO updated my HRM4-TRI and HRM-RUN (HRM3-RUN ???). So now I have a new screen set up to have a look at Stride Length, cadence (existing) and Ground Contact Time balance (asymmetry)
Both could quite easily have waited for a 930XT. Nice.
If we’re not careful we might soon have running-power fully and properly supported.
