Using the Foot Pod Getting Started Lace clip The foot pod is on standby and ready to send data (like the heart rate monitor). As soon as you install the foot pod and start moving, the foot pod sends data to the Forerunner. 1. Press the tabs on the lace clip. Lift and separate the foot pod from the lace clip. 2. Loosen your shoe laces slightly. 3. Thread the lace clip through 2–3 secure sections of your shoelaces, allowing enough room at the top to tie the shoelaces as usual.

Many runners and other athletes are using heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1–5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate. How Do Heart Rate Zones Affect Your Fitness Goals? Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying these principles: • Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity. • Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength. • Knowing your heart rate zones can prevent you from overtraining and decrease your risk of injury.
