Performance MeasurementsThese performance measurements require a few activities using wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. The measurements are estimates that can help you track and understand your training activities and race performances. These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat. For more information, go to www.garmin.com/physio.NOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance.Training status: Training status shows you how your training affects your fitness and performance. Your training status is based on changes to your training load and VO2 max. over an extended time period.VO2 max.: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance.Recovery time: The recovery time displays how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout.Training load: Training load is the sum of your excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) over the last 7 days. EPOC is an estimate of how much energy it takes for your body to recover after exercise.Predicted race times: Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate and published data sources to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness. This projection also presumes you have completed the proper training for the race.HRV stress test: The HRV (heart rate variability) stress test requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. The device records your heart rate variability while standing still for 3 minutes. It provides your overall stress level. The scale is 1 to 100, and a lower score indicates a lower stress level.Performance condition: Your performance condition is a real-time assessment after 6 to 20 minutes of activity. It can be added as a data field so you can view your performance condition during the rest of your activity. It compares your real-time condition to your average fitness level.Functional threshold power (FTP): The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup to estimate your FTP. For a more accurate rating, you can conduct a guided test.Lactate threshold: Lactate threshold requires a chest heart rate monitor. Lactate threshold is the point where your muscles start to rapidly fatigue. Your device measures your lactate threshold level using heart rate data and pace.Turning Off Performance NotificationsPerformance notifications are turned on by default. Some performance notifications are alerts that appear upon completion of your activity. Some performance notifications appear during an activity or when you achieve a new performance measurement, such as a new VO2 max. estimate.1Hold .2Select Settings > Physiological Metrics > Performance Notifications.3Select an option.Automatically Detecting Performance MeasurementsThe Auto Detect feature is turned on by default. The device can automatically detect your maximum heart rate, lactate threshold, and functional threshold power (FTP) during an activity.NOTE: The device detects a maximum heart rate only when your heart rate is higher than the value set in your user profile.1Hold .2Select Settings > Physiological Metrics > Auto Detect.3Select an option.Training StatusTraining status shows you how your training affects your fitness level and performance. Your training status is based on changes to your training load and VO2 max. over an extended time period. You can use your training status to help plan future training and continue improving your fitness level.Peaking: Peaking means that you are in ideal race condition. Your recently reduced training load is allowing your body to recover and fully compensate for earlier training. You should plan ahead, since this peak state can only be maintained for a short time.Productive: Your current training load is moving your fitness level and performance in the right direction. You should plan recovery periods into your training to maintain your fitness level.Maintaining: Your current training load is enough to maintain your fitness level. To see improvement, try adding more variety to your workouts or increasing your training volume.Recovery: Your lighter training load is allowing your body to recover, which is essential during extended periods of hard training. You can return to a higher training load when you feel ready.Unproductive: Your training load is at a good level, but your fitness is decreasing. Your body may be struggling to 12 Heart Rate FeaturesCONFIDENTIAL
recover, so you should pay attention to your overall health including stress, nutrition, and rest.Detraining: Detraining occurs when you are training much less than usual for a week or more, and it is affecting your fitness level. You can try increasing your training load to see improvement.Overreaching: Your training load is very high and counterproductive. Your body needs a rest. You should give yourself time to recover by adding lighter training to your schedule.No Status: The device needs one or two weeks of training history, including activities with VO2 max. results from running, to determine your training status.Tips for Getting Your Training StatusTo get the most out of the training status feature, you can try these tips.• Run outdoors with heart rate at least two times per week, orride with heart rate and power at least two times per week.After using the device for one week, your training statusshould be available.• Record all of your fitness activities on this device, allowing itto learn about your performance.About VO2 Max. EstimatesVO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of athletic performance and should increase as your level of fitness improves. The Forerunner device requires wrist-Your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and position on the color gauge. Purple Superior Blue Excellent Green Good Orange Fair Red PoorVO2 max. data and analysis is provided with permission from The Cooper Institute®. For more information, see the appendix (VO2 Max. Standard Ratings, page 33), and go to www.CooperInstitute.org.Recovery TimeYou can use your Garmin device with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout.NOTE: The recovery time recommendation uses your VO2 max. estimate and may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance.The recovery time appears immediately following an activity. The time counts down until it is optimal for you to attempt another hard workout.Viewing Your Recovery TimeFor the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 6), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 7).1Go for a run.2After your run, select Save.The recovery time appears. The maximum time is 4 days.NOTE: From the watch face, you can select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget, and select START to scroll through the performance measurements to view your recovery time.Recovery Heart RateIf you are training with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor, you can check your recovery heart rate value after each activity. Recovery heart rate is the difference between your exercising heart rate and your heart rate two minutes after the exercise has stopped. For example, after a typical training run, you stop the timer. Your heart rate is 140 bpm. After two minutes of no activity or cool down, your heart rate is 90 bpm. Your recovery heart rate is 50 bpm (140 minus 90). Some studies have linked recovery heart rate to cardiac health. Higher numbers generally indicate healthier hearts.TIP: For best results, you should stop moving for two minutes while the device calculates your recovery heart rate value. You can save or discard the activity after this value appears.Training LoadTraining load is a measurement of your training volume over the last seven days. It is the sum of your EPOC measurements for the last seven days. The gauge indicates whether your current load is low, high, or within the optimal range to maintain or improve your fitness level. The optimal range is determined based on your individual fitness level and training history. The range adjusts as your training time and intensity increase or decrease.Viewing Your Predicted Race TimesFor the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 6), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 7). Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 13) and published data sources to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness. This projection also presumes you have completed the proper training for the race.NOTE: The projections may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few runs to learn about your running performance.1Select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget.2Select START to scroll through the performance measurements.Your projected race times appear for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon distances.About Training EffectTraining Effect measures the impact of an activity on your aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Training Effect accumulates during the activity. As the activity progresses, the Training Effect value increases, telling you how the activity has improved your fitness. Training Effect is determined by your user profile information, heart rate, duration, and intensity of your activity.Aerobic Training Effect uses your heart rate to measure how the accumulated intensity of an exercise affects your aerobic fitness and indicates if the workout had a maintaining or improving effect on your fitness level. Your EPOC accumulated during Heart Rate Features 13CONFIDENTIAL
exercise is mapped to a range of values that account for your fitness level and training habits. Steady workouts at moderate effort or workouts involving longer intervals (>180 sec) have a positive impact on your aerobic metabolism and result in an improved aerobic Training Effect.Anaerobic Training Effect uses heart rate and speed (or power) to determine how a workout affects your ability to perform at very high intensity. You receive a value based on the anaerobic contribution to EPOC and the type of activity. Repeated high-intensity intervals of 10 to 120 seconds have a highly beneficial impact on your anaerobic capability and result in an improved anaerobic Training Effect.It is important to know that your Training Effect numbers (from 0.0 to 5.0) may seem abnormally high during your first few activities.

Training, sleep, nutrition, and general life stress all impact how you perform. The stress score range is 1 to 100, where 1 is a very low stress state, and 100 is a very high stress state. Knowing your stress score can help you decide if your body is ready for a tough training run or yoga.TIP: Garmin recommends that you measure your stress score before you exercise, at approximately the same time, and under the same conditions every day. You can view previous results on your Garmin Connect account.1 Select START > DOWN > HRV Stress > START.2 Follow the onscreen instructions.Performance ConditionAs you complete your activity, the performance condition feature analyzes your pace, heart rate, and heart rate variability to make a real-time assessment of your ability to perform compared to your average fitness level. It is approximately your real-time percentage deviation from your baseline VO2 max. estimate.Performance condition values range from -20 to +20. After the first 6 to 20 minutes of your activity, the device displays your performance condition score. For example, a score of +5 means that you are rested, fresh, and capable of a good run or ride. You can add performance condition as a data field to one of your training screens to monitor your ability throughout the activity. Performance condition can also be an indicator of fatigue level, especially at the end of a long training run or ride.NOTE: The device requires a few runs or rides with a heart rate monitor to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate and learn about your running or riding ability (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 13).Viewing Your Performance ConditionThis feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor.1Add Perform. Cond. to a data screen (Customizing the Data Screens, page 22).2Go for a run or ride.After 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears.3Scroll to the data screen to view your performance condition throughout the run or ride.Lactate ThresholdLactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate (lactic acid) starts to accumulate in the bloodstream. In running, it is the estimated level of effort or pace. When a runner exceeds the threshold, fatigue starts to increase at an accelerating rate. For experienced runners, the threshold occurs at approximately 90% of their maximum heart rate and between 10k and half-marathon race pace. For average runners, the lactate threshold often occurs well below 90% of maximum heart rate. Knowing your lactate threshold can help you determine how hard to train or when to push yourself during a race.If you already know your lactate threshold heart rate value, you can enter it in your user profile settings (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 7).Performing a Guided Test to Determine Your Lactate ThresholdThis feature requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. Before you can perform the guided test, you must put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 21). You must also have a VO2 max. estimate from a previous run (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 13).The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup and your VO2 max. estimate to estimate your lactate threshold. The device will automatically detect your lactate threshold during runs at a steady, high intensity with heart rate.TIP: The device requires a few runs with a chest heart rate monitor to get an accurate maximum heart rate value and VO2 max. estimate. If you are having trouble getting a lactate threshold estimate, try manually lowering your maximum heart rate value.1From the watch face, select START.2Select an outdoor running activity.GPS is required to complete the test.3Hold .4Select Training > Lactate Threshold.5Start the timer, and follow the on-screen instructions.After you begin your run, the device displays each step duration, the target, and current heart rate data. A message appears when the test is complete.6After you complete the guided test, stop the timer and save the activity.If this is your first lactate threshold estimate, the device prompts you to update your heart rate zones based on your lactate threshold heart rate.
