Color Gauges and Running Dynamic Data
Garmin has researched many runners of all different levels. The data values in the red or orange zones are
typical for less experienced or slower runners. The data values in the green, blue, or purple zones are typical
for more experienced or faster runners. More experienced runners tend to exhibit shorter ground contact times,
lower vertical oscillation, lower vertical ratio, and higher cadence than less experienced runners. However, taller
runners typically have slightly slower cadences, longer strides, and slightly higher vertical oscillation. Vertical
ratio is your vertical oscillation divided by stride length. It is not correlated with height.
For additional theories and interpretations of running dynamics data, you can search reputable running
publications and websites.

Situational Awareness
The Varia device can improve situational awareness. It is not a replacement for cyclist attentiveness and good
judgment. Always maintain awareness of your surroundings, and operate the bicycle in a safe manner. Failure to
do so could result in serious injury or death.
Your Forerunner device can be used with the Varia smart bike lights and rearview radar
Controls,
page 52). See the owner's manual for your Varia device for more information.
