alert for the Bike portion of the triathlon, please go to Bike mode on
your watch and set the activity alert there.
- Triathlon mode includes a
transition between the first and second activities, and another
transition between the second and third activities. If at any time
you accidentally progress past the current activity and start the next
transition prematurely, you can use your watch's BACK button to return to
the activity.

- Walk - Walk mode contains a new
and unique data field: Steps. As the nature of GPS technology
does not work well with walking activities, especially in the urban
environment (due to speed, frequent stops, arm movements, etc.), steps
will be a valuable tool to gain insight into your walking activities and
provide the highest degree of accuracy available. Walk mode can
be used in both indoor and outdoor environments. In indoor
conditions, the watch can estimate distance based on cadence and stride
data. This mode defaults to 1,000 steps per "lap," but
this number can be adjusted within the activity settings.

and further information, please visit: Walk
- XC Ski – XC or “Cross Country”
Ski mode is designed to track any skiing (mostly on flat terrain) where
you are completely self-propelled. XC Ski mode will allow you to access
both navigation and activity alerts during your activities.
- To use XC Ski mode, press the
digital dial and select “XC Ski”. Please wait until the watch indicates
that you have a strong GPS signal (indicated by an “Acquired” message at
the top of the screen) and that heart rate is being measured (indicated
by a heart icon at the bottom of the screen) before starting an activity.

Running
Power (provided directly from all COROS watches)
- Power is the rate of effort
used in running. Running uses more power than walking if the distance
remains the same because the duration is shorter and speed increased. The
power calculation is related to weight, speed, and other metrics. Running
uphill with the same pace requires more power than running flat. Power
data can help evaluate real-time workout intensity. Running power is a
great tool to measure your training in addition to heart rate and other
metrics.
Form Power
- The amount of power wasted due
to inefficiencies in your running form. The lower this number, the better
and more efficient the runner. This is similar to the previous Running
Efficiency metrics (now removed) in terms of running form insights.
- Available only in the
post-workout analysis when paired with COROS POD.

Ground Time
- Excellent: <210ms
- Better: 210-240ms
- Good: 240-270ms
- Average: 270-300ms
- Poor: >300ms
- Ground time measures the
amount of time each of your feet are in contact with the ground. Advanced
runners tend to have shorter ground time. Elite runners’ ground time can
be as low as 180ms.
Left/Right Balance
- Orange: >L 51.5 Far more time
on left foot
- Yellow: L 50.6-L 51.5 Slightly
longer time on left foot
- Green: L 50.5—R 50.5 Good
left/right foot balance
- Yellow: R 50.6-R 51.5 Slightly
longer time on right foot
- Orange: >R 51.5 Far more
time on right foot
- L/R balance measures the
percentage of ground time spent on each foot. Track running and trail
running may cause the reading to drift away from the desired green zone.
If the reading exceeds 55, your risk of injury may increase.

Stride Ratio
- Excellent: <6%
- Better: 6-8%
- Good: 8-10%
- Average: 10-12%
- Poor: >12%
- Stride ratio can help measure
running efficiency. It is the ratio of stride height to stride length.
When stride length is longer and stride height is lower, the amount of
energy wasted going up and down is reduced and the running is considered
more efficient. The stride ratio for advanced running form can be lower
than 6%.
Stride Height
- Excellent: <5cm
or <2in
- Better: 5-8cm
or 2-3.2in
- Good: 8-12cm
or 3.2-4.7in
- Average: 12-15cm
or 4.7-5.9in
- Poor: >15cm
or > 6in
- Stride height is the amount
your body bounces vertically with each step. Lower stride height
indicates that less energy is wasted bouncing up and down. Fatigue and incorrect
running form may cause higher stride height.

Stride Length
- Stride length measures the
distance from heel to heel when you take two steps. It is an important
factor to evaluate running form and techniques. On average, an adult’s
stride length is 65 cm / 2.13 ft during walking and between 90-150 cm /
2.95-4.92 ft when running. Many runners overstride believing this will
increase the speed. However, this will increase the risk of injury on
muscles and knees. It is critical to find the stride length that suits you
the best for training and races with the help of advanced running metrics
from the COROS POD.
