5 Free Garmin running apps and data fields to download right now

День тому

We've tested a lot of Garmin watches this year and part of that testing has been rummaging around Garmin's Connect IQ store to see if there's anything else worth adding into the watch mix to make it a better running companion.
While Connect IQ is no match for app storefronts like the Apple App Store, we've managed to pick out a small collection of free Connect IQ apps and data fields that have caught Tester Mike's eye that we are sharing with you.

I love the "Walk with Frodo" App. Depending on how many km or miles you run it shows you where Frodo would have been on his journey to destroy the ring. It's just a gimmick but it's well made and fun to use.

My favourite is a data field called Rolling Average Pace. You configure the distance that you want it to tell you about (maybe 400m, 800m) and it gives you your average pace on a rolling basis for just that distance. It’s quite a good tool during a long run where maybe your overall average pace is skewed because of a warmup but doesn’t fluctuate as wildly as an instant pace field would and doesn’t rely on you remembering to keep pressing the lap button

This is a good shout, as auto lap, only gives you past and or current, rolling is really good

Love you guys channel! Most usable content for running gear.

Race screen sounds like a great one! Going to have a play about with that. I tend to do a lot of Battersea Park races and the GPS is always out!

@alanshrimpton6787 Рік тому

Yeah race screen is one I use and how the background changes colour if your ahead or behind your goal. Good for visually impaired like me.

Hi. I use GRun which I find nicer to look with loads of data. Also Advanced R&T Pacer is simply stunning with the fact you can control it by simple syntax. Thanks.

For Users that are looking for Pace / Distance converters I use Kilometer Pace Data Field. I have an Activity Screen with 2 fields, Native Pace ie Min/PM as I use Salute & use the widget to show KM/PM. I believe you can download a Mile Pace Field for those who are metric. Useful for races in KM, I can use to gauge speed in training

For Users that are looking for Pace / Distance converters I also use hOppDistance Data Field. I have an Activity Screen with 2 fields, Native Distance I have run, ie in Miles as I use Salute & use the widget to show Kilometers I believe you can download a Mile Pace Field for those who are metric. Useful for Parkrun newbies

Am I missing something? Aren't all these just configurable on the watch to get the data fields you want?

@midsfella Рік тому

No, Garmin has a range of data field pages within the watch but these are downloaded from the Garmin IQ store.

“Peter’s (Race) Pacer” is a decent app

@NielsPilon Рік тому

Use it for all my races, really great app

The actual list of apps starts after 3:00. He just repeats the same pieces of information over and over again until that point.

Non Garmin HR Metrics users, who are wanting to know approx stride length use QuickAoos - Stride Length Field. Helped me determine my optimum stride length for when doing track work outs

@kophotography895 Рік тому

FYI if you use this data field it also shows in your activity data on Garmin Connect, useful for working out fatigue / bad form etc
