I tried searching for these on the individual running activity but was not able to find it. These are common running metrics that I’d like to view on a per run basis as well as a general trend basis over many runs.
Am I missing it or does it not exist? If it doesn’t yet exist, would I be possible to add those metrics?

There are several custom streams and fields for Garmin or Stryd Vertical Oscilation and/or Ground Contact Time, as well Charts with both.

Thank you @pepe for responding!
I think I must be missing something though because I still don’t see it when I search “Ground Contact time” or “vertical oscillation” in charts.
Would you be able to send a picture of what it is you’re talking about?

Gotcha - thanks!
I turned on Garmin Run Dynamics but nothing shows up interesting. I wonder if it is because I have the FR165
It records those metrics but maybe it doesn’t share them?
You will have to reprocess the FIT file, I believe.

Do not know if your watch Garmin FR 165 has the Garmin GAP field as FR225 and up.

Perfect, thank you! I had to add the custom stream and then it worked

Did you got “Garmin GAP km Pace”?
If you are based in USA, you can use “Garmin GAP mile Pace” Custom Stream instead.

I saw it as an option, but didn’t do anything with it - I’m good with the intervals GAP function
It is unfortunate though that I can’t seem to plot the activities average values (of GCT and VO) on the “Fitness” page

For that, in current activity you go to Custom and add an activity field based on that session Fit File Field and choose avg_stance_time (ms).
Name it Garmin Activity AVG GCT

Then in Fitness, chart that activity field “Garmin Activity AVG GCT”

Creating other sorts of charts, like and Activity Chart, GCT Histogram or Heatmap, is similar.
