A Guide to COROS Track Mode | Better Accuracy For Track Running Sessions

In this series, we partner with @COROS Wearables on a series of videos that dive deep into its range of watches. We'll delve into the features and tools available and explain how they can be used to improve your running performance and making training more enjoyable.
In this video, we take a look at COROS Track Mode. COROS was the first to bring us a dedicated, more precise track tracking mode and it's one of COROS's most powerful features when it comes to providing accurate stats for runners hitting the track and coaches checking that runners hitting the track are doing what they need.
Track Mode solves the common problem of GPS discrepancies by locking to the lane you're running in and providing metrics based on the exact distance you're covering, meaning your resultant data can be used to better analyse your training.

Really nice to see you all together again, it's been a while.

[@TheRunTesters]

Thanks. Yeah, it felt good to be back together as a team. It's how we envisaged the channel when we created it and it's been a challenge to work remotely but happy to be back,

[@hannesaltenfelder4302]

Even on the track, I prefer to rather run in power zones than pace.
For me the coros pace2+stryd pod =game changer.
Most important feature to me:
the reminder to put off the stryd pod after running (as loosing it would be a 200€-mistake😉).

[@julienq198]

i agree i do the same, the principal problem is that you cannot used stryd workout directly on the watch.

[@VanceRefrigeration]

Great video guys!

[@TheRunTesters]

Thanks Ben.

[@mkmstillstackin]

Great video, guys! Just subbed. I really appreciate you guys doing this. Does it still track your heart rate while in track mode? Also, do you have to pause or stop during rest periods or does the watch detect that you've stopped? I have the Coros Apex and was at the track earlier this week. However, I wasn't confident enough to follow through with using track mode due to my lack knowledge of how use it. This video gives me much more confidence for the next time.

[@tyresejackson9665]

Great video! Hopefully Suunto will add this feature to their watches. It’s long overdue. 👍🏾

[@TheRunTesters]

Feels like something Polar needs to do as well.

[@danny121pt]

Great video guys think I need to actually find a track and try a session on one, would be good if Coros had full implementation of Stryd Power meter Pod which allowed there training plans on it and training plans from say final surge, as coros interests me but them features are important since my AW6 or garmin 645 music has that.

[@darielmathias6798]

I guess Im kinda off topic but does anyone know a good place to stream new tv shows online ?

[@johnsassalos2110]

Do you know if I can set a custom track length (instead of 400m) when using the track mode? Because not all the tracks we are running in are 400m long...
Thanks in advance!

[@hikerboater]

Still seems geared toward distance running, what about sprint intervals / sprint training / intensive tempo, etc?

[@stephencooper3494]

Does this watch show 100m splits? The Garnins only go down to 200m auto lap. So I'm looking for a watch that shows 100m splits

[@Unlovealble]

Do you have to push button to select lane every time when you change the lane?

[@TheRunTesters]

Yep, although hopefully you wouldn't need to change the lane very often. It won't automatically work out that you've changed a lane.

[@clipnoel7338]

alloo sir what that name apps in android phone can conect to thirth party like strava?.

[@TheRunTesters]

Hi, thanks for the question. Not 100% sure what you mean here though. Do you mean what Android running apps connect to Strava?
