Running Economy

Running Economy measures how efficiently you run. Parameters for the calculation include speed, heart rate and the proven Running Dynamics as well as the metric of speed loss (optional HRM 600 required). The lower the value, the more energy-efficient your running is.

Running Tolerance

Running Tolerance evaluates the biomechanical load that acts on your body when running. Especially when running downhill, the musculoskeletal system, i.e. bones, joints, tendons and ligaments, is put under a lot of strain. Running Tolerance assesses this strain and helps you to avoid overloading.

Maps in colour

Whether on city streets or trails in the forest, the Forerunner 970 offers integrated colour maps that are now even more dynamic, intuitive and easy to follow.

Adaptive Garmin Coach training plans

Prepare for your next race, train for a milestone or simply improve your fitness with adaptive or pre-built Garmin Coach running, cycling, strength or triathlon training plans. To make training even more personalised, selected plans are even adapted based on performance and health data.

Training readiness

Training readiness combines your current training load with other health data such as recovery, sleep or stress and customises your readiness for the next training session.

Telephony and voice assistance

Enjoy the convenience of making and receiving calls from your wrist - use your smartphone's voice assistant to respond to text messages and more (when paired with your compatible iPhone® or Android™ smartphone). Specific functions can even be activated offline via voice command.
