Does the Oura Ring have the capability to track running activities?

Certainly, the Oura Ring is designed primarily for tracking sleep and recovery metrics. However, it also includes accelerometers and gyroscopes, which allow for basic activity monitoring. While it can detect movement and provide insights into overall daily activity levels, its functionality for tracking specific running activities is quite limited compared to specialized sports watches and fitness trackers. The Oura Ring does not have GPS capabilities or advanced running dynamics that runners often look for in a wearable device. Therefore, while it might recognize that the wearer is engaging in physical activity, it won't provide comprehensive data on running activities such as pace, distance, route mapping, or detailed workout analysis that are available on devices specifically geared towards runners.
