The running dynamics measurements are associated with colors on your device’s running dynamics data screen and on these charts. The colors show how your cadence compares to other runners. The color zones are based on percentiles.
| Color Zone | Percentile in Zone | Cadence Range |
|---|---|---|
| Purple | > 95 | > 183 spm |
| Blue | 70 – 95 | 174 – 183 spm |
| Green | 30 - 69 | 164 - 173 spm |
| Orange | 5 - 29 | 153 - 163 spm |
| Red | < 5 | < 153 spm |
Garmin has researched many runners of all different levels. In general, more experienced runners tend to have higher cadence. An often-cited target for running cadence is 180 steps/min. Higher cadences are associated with lower vertical oscillation and shorter ground contact time. Taller runners tend to have somewhat slower cadence.
