Powered by www.runningwithpower.com, RunPowerModel is your power meter for running or hiking activities, in the form of a data field which integrates seamlessly into your existing activity profiles! It can be used as a wrist-only power meter, or in combination with a RunningDynamics device (Garmin's
What's New
2.5.6: - Added support for new watch models 2.5.5: - Added support for new watch models - Small fix for very steep and slow uphills (more improvements to come) 2.5.4: - Added support for FR 165 models 2.5.3: - Added support for new watch models (Venu 3, vivoactive 5...) 2.5.2: - Fixed issue with average Equivalent Flat Pace - values should now be improved in many cases - Currently Intensity Factor now displayed in units of permille (i.e. CIF = P / FTP x 1000) - Added support for new watch models 2.5.1: - Added support for new watch models (FR 965 & 265...) 2.5.0: - Improved trail-power calculation. CAUTION: Trail score values are now generally higher! - Added Equivalent Flat Pace (EFP) to the list of displayable values (only for devices with sufficient memory) - Now automatically calculating EFP in the chosen units (metric/statute) - Fixed lap calculation for structured workouts 2.4.2: - Improved calculation for treadmill running etc. 2.4.1: - Added support for Forerunner 255 and 955 series - Possibility to display lap power on devices with sufficient memory 2.4.0: - No unlock key needed anymore 2.3.4: - Some optimisations for devices with lower available memory - Live display of Intensity Factor now showing current Power relative to the FTP (not the overall NP) 2.3.3: - Adapted calculation for uphill walking at medium inclines, can lead to up to 5-10% lower Power values - Slight increase of Power output for steep descents 2.3.2: - Corrected calculation of total work and TSS for activities with interruption in between - Added support for several new devices (fenix 7 etc.) 2.3.1: - Added support for FR 945 LTE and 55 2.3.0: - Calculation improvements, mainly regarding uphills and trails - Using user weight instead of total weight for equiv. flat pace - Reintroduced features for low-memory devices (rotation mode, weather usage, rolling avg. up to 30s, and TSS in workout summary) 2.2.1: - Minor calculation improvements - Possibility to switch instant-speed usage on the trail on and off (requires RunningDynamics) 2.2.0: - Improved general calculation - Better equivalent speed calculation for RunningDynamics - Improved memory management for relevant devices 2.1.0: - Added lap information for average power* - Numerous smaller improvements *Only on devices with sufficient memory (e.g. not on vivoactive, Fenix 5 etc.) 2.0.1: Small bug fix 2.0.0: Many improvements and additions - Introducing the Trail Score and Run Score charts: - The trail score evaluates how effectively you run technical sections, where a lower number for a given trail corresponds to a more efficient trail running technique. - Similarly, the Run Score corresponds to the fraction of periodic vertical to the total power - also here lower numbers imply a better running technique. - Added trail power calculation even when no RunningDynamics available and improved calculation when available - New values calculated and added to workout summary: - Equivalent flat pace* (calculated from average workout power) - Total exerted work* - Burned calory estimate* - Automatic FTP calculation from user-defined threshold pace - Battery-saving mode (for long activities): If switched on, display will be updated only every few seconds. - Improved altitude readout - Added support for vivoactive 3 and 4 series, Venu and Venu 2 series, and Legacy Hero watches *Only on devices with sufficient memory (e.g. not on vivoactive, Fenix 5 etc.) v. 1.1.1: - Small improvement for steep downhills v. 1.1.0: - Improved calculation with less fluctuations - When app is not yet unlocked, the watch will display "-L-" instead of "--" before starting the activity v. 1.0.1: - Added compatibility for Forerunner 245 and 245 Music - Shortened setting explanations to avoid cutting on some devices

It’s a great data field. I’m currently working on developing software for an estimated GCT data field and I got part of the idea from this.
I only gave it 4 stars because over the past few days, on my Fenix 6X Pro, the power recording looks normal in the graphs, but the IQ fields in the final summary of the Garmin session all show zero values
Incredibly useful for trail runners! Recommended by Scott Johnston in his podcast (Coach of this years UTMB Winner)
Markus, let me compliment you once again – RunPowerModel is a top-notch app/data field. With the next update, it would be super cool to add a field with relative power (W/kg). That would be truly fantastic!
Just started using this with my FR55 with chest HRM. Works brilliantly. 👌🏻
