RUNNING ECONOMY
Measure your overall energy efficiency while running — using long-term running volume, stride length and ground contact time loss, which shows how much you slow down when your foot hits the ground — when you pair your watch with the HRM 600 heart rate monitor (sold separately).
RUNNING TOLERANCE
Better understand how each run affects your body, and get a recommended maximum weekly mileage so you can train effectively without overdoing it.
FULL-COLOR MAPS
Whether you’re running city streets or riding densely trafficked trails, the Forerunner 970 smartwatch provides full-color built-in mapping that’s now even more dynamic, intuitive and easier to follow.
