Using the coaching feature while exercising in running mode
Use the personalised coaching feature to exercise safely and effectively. You will receive real-
time coaching advice that leads you through a safe and effective workout that keeps you fit.
About the coaching feature
The coaching feature includes Firstbeat technology to provide personalised exercise
guidance. Firstbeat uses Training Effect (TE) analysis that measures the accumulated physical
load during a workout and assesses the impact on your fitness. TE levels are based on your
physical profile and the heart rate information recorded while you work out. Your TE level
increases when you perform effective exercise and the coaching feature uses the TE to
provide you with feedback.
The feedback is provided by the feature via prompts, such as ‘speed up’, ‘keep up this
pace’, and ‘slow down’. When you first start to use the coaching feature, it will estimate an
appropriate TE level based on your profile. As you exercise, it will analyse your training history
and provide more personalised guidance. A typical workout may start at a lower intensity and
sharply increase in intensity towards the end.

The Gear measures your heart rate with the heart rate measurement sensor. This
feature may not work properly if the heart rate sensor is exposed to excessive sweat
or its position is changed during exercise.
For the best coaching results, use the coaching feature while you exercise indoors.
