The Garmin HRM-Run Heart Rate Monitor is designed to pair with the Garmin Forerunner, Fenix watches and also VIRB/VRIB XE action cameras. It tracks your heart rate and has an accelerometer that measures torso movement to help calculate physiological and running metrics. This provides feedback about your running form in real time so you can adjust stride and balance while also getting predicted lap times.

Compatible with Garmin Devices

Designed to be strapped around your chest, the Garmin HRM-Run Heart Rate Monitor can track your heart rate as you run. Once paired with a separately available Garmin device, the monitor transmits the heart rate to your watch or action camera.

Comfortable, Adjustable Chest Strap

The HRM monitor has a very low-profile chest strap that can be adjusted to suit a wide range of body types. The HRM module is lightweight to ensure your comfort while wearing it for long periods of time.

Built-In Accelerometer to Calculate Running Metrics

The HRM-Run features an accelerometer that measures your torso movement. This is used to calculate six advanced running metrics which can then provide real-time feedback.

Cadence – Number of steps per minute
Vertical Oscillation – The level of torso ‘bounce’ per step, displayed in centimetres
Ground Contact Time – The time your foot stays on the ground per step, measured in milliseconds
Ground Contact Time Balance – Displays ground contact time balance for each foot as a percentage
Stride Length – Measures distance from one footfall to the next in meters.
Vertical Ratio – Displays the ratio of Vertical Oscillation to Stride Length as a percentage. Lower numbers are indicative of better running form.

Measures Physiological Metrics

Using the HRM-Run Heart Rate Monitor, you can also get a variety of physiological metrics including lactate threshold, stress score, VO2 max, performance condition, and estimated recovery time. This, along with the ability to provide race time estimates, is incredibly vital when training for an event.
