Flexirunner is a flexible all-in-one data field, for use in a single field layout. It is designed for running, with a native look and feel.
In addition to the usual metrics supplied by the watch, Flexirunner also records a measure of running economy during your run.

Features:
• Three pace fields: the centre field shows current pace, the lower two are configurable (e.g. average pace, lap pace, etc.)
• Configurable time and distance fields (e.g. timer, lap time; total distance, lap distance, etc.)
• Live moving (running) quantities, i.e. moving pace, moving distance, etc. These values filter out time and distance spent stopped or walking
• Running economy
• Energy expenditure
• Colour indicators for the current heart rate zone, cadence, and pace
• Flexible time display: in mins:secs up to one hour, then hours:mins after that, with the seconds in a smaller font (not on vivoactive HR)
• Lap counter
• Large, easy to read font for all fields
• Adopts system settings for pace & distance units (metric or statute)

Moving (running) metrics:
Quantities such as moving pace, moving time, etc. are filtered for time and distance spent stopped or walking (anything below a speed which roughly represents slow running). For best results, leave the timer running (and disable Auto Pause) when using these features.

Running economy:
Relative running economy is a measure of how much energy it takes to cover a certain distance. It is also relative to your weight, and is displayed in units of calories (not kcal!) per kg per km.
The economy metric is recorded in the FIT file (even if you don't display the field), and displayed on Garmin Connect after you upload your run.

Current pace colour indicator:
The pace colour indicator shows deviation of the current pace from a chosen metric (e.g. overall average pace, lap pace, etc.):
	» Red: more than 5% slower than target metric
	» Green: within 5% of the target
	» Blue: more than 5% faster

Energy expenditure:
This is a measure of the rate at which you burn calories (in kcal/hour). Flexirunner can display this during your run.
