About running form and running power
Apple Watch can help measure and display elements of your running form. They include the following:
Vertical oscillation: The amount your torso moves vertically with each step while running, measured in centimeters (cm).
Ground contact time: The length of time your foot is in contact with the ground when running, measured in milliseconds (ms).
Stride length: The distance covered per running step, measured in meters (m).
Apple Watch can also help measure your running power during an Outdoor Run workout. Running power measures the output of the work you’re doing when you run, measured in watts.
