You can learn more and set up this feature in the Health Stats settings of the Garmin Connect app. Using the Stress Level Glance The stress level glance displays your current stress level and a graph of your stress level for the last several hours.
About VO2 Max. Estimates VO2 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-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. The device has separate VO2 max. estimates for running and cycling.
Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Running This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest heart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your watch (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 78). For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 85), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 87). The estimate may seem inaccurate at first.
3 Press UP or DOWN to view a predicted race time. 4 Press START to view predictions for other distances. NOTE: The predictions may seem inaccurate at first. The watch requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. Heart Rate Variability Status Your watch analyzes your wrist heart rate readings while you are sleeping to determine your heart rate variability (HRV). Training, physical activity, sleep, nutrition, and healthy habits all impact your heart rate variability.
Color Zone Green Status Description Balanced Your seven-day average HRV is within your baseline range. Orange Unbalanced Your seven-day average HRV is above or below your baseline range. Red No color Low Your seven-day average HRV is well below your baseline range. Poor No status Your HRV values are averaging well below the normal range for your age. No status means that there is insufficient data to generate a seven-day average.
Getting Your FTP Estimate Before you can get your functional threshold power (FTP) estimate, you must pair a chest heart rate monitor and power meter with your watch (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 78), and you must get your VO2 max. estimate (Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling, page 30). The watch uses your user profile information from the initial setup and your VO2 max. estimate to estimate your FTP.
Lactate Threshold Lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate (lactic acid) starts to accumulate in the bloodstream. In running, this intensity level is estimated in terms of pace, heart rate, or power. 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 10 km and half-marathon race pace.
Viewing Your Real-Time Stamina Your watch can provide real-time stamina estimates based on your heart rate data and VO2 max. estimate (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 29). 1 Hold . 2 Select Activities & Apps. 3 Select a run or bike activity. 4 Select the activity settings. 5 Select Data Screens > Add New > Stamina. 6 Press UP or DOWN to change the location of the data screen (optional). 7 Press START to edit the primary stamina data field (optional). 8 Start your activity (Starting an Activity, page 3).
Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements You can sync activities and performance measurements from other Garmin devices to your Forerunner watch using your Garmin Connect account. This allows your watch to more accurately reflect your training status and fitness. For example, you can record a ride with an Edge bike computer, and view your activity details and overall training load on your Forerunner watch. Sync your Forerunner watch and other Garmin devices to your Garmin Connect account.
Training load focus: Your watch analyzes and distributes your training load into different categories based on the intensity and structure of each activity recorded. Training load focus includes the total load accumulated per category, and the focus of the training. Your watch displays your load distribution over the last 4 weeks (Training Load Focus, page 38).
Training Load Focus In order to maximize performance and fitness gains, training should be distributed across three categories: low aerobic, high aerobic, and anaerobic. Training load focus shows you how much of your training is currently in each category and provides training targets. Training load focus requires at least 7 days of training to determine if your training load is low, optimal, or high.
About Training Effect Training 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. Training Effect is determined by your user profile information and training history, and heart rate, duration, and intensity of your activity. There are seven different Training Effect labels to describe the primary benefit of your activity.
Recovery Heart Rate If 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.
Training Readiness Your training readiness is a score and a short message that helps you determine how ready you are for training each day.
Viewing Cycling Ability Before you can view your cycling ability, you must have a 7-day training history, VO2 max. data recorded in your user profile (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 29), and power curve data from a paired power meter (Viewing Your Power Curve, page 35).
