Tips for Getting Your Training Status To get the most out of the training status feature, you can try these tips.
Viewing Your Predicted Race Times Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 12), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 12). Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 10) 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.
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 12). Performing a Guided Test to Determine Your Lactate Threshold This 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 26). You must also have a VO2 max. estimate from a previous run (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 10).
