Did my first run with my new Garmin 620. I must have spent 30 minutes just analyzing the data. What fun!
So at first glance, my running form according to the watch looks pretty good. I already felt my form was alright, but Cadence is almost always right around 180, and the vertical oscillation is measured around 7.4-7.9cm range which seems to be in the sweet spot area as well. Obviously that can be improved on still, but I am pretty happy with the progress that I have made there.
The one thing I'm not so sure on is the ground contact time measurement. I'm right around the 240-260 range. I know most elite runners are below 220, and by no means do I consider myself elite. I know increasing cadence reduces ground contact time, and some elite runners have cadence get even higher, close to 190-200 range even. I wonder if I should look at increasing cadence even more to reduce ground contact time or what. Something that I'll have to research more and ask others that know far more than I do about running mechanics I guess.
Anyways, I love more data, and this watch definitely gives more data!
Edit: Strava doesn't support any of these new measurements though yet. so I have to view it from Sporttracks or the Garmin Connect site for now.
