Performance Measurements
These performance measurements are estimates that can help you track and understand your training
activities and race performances. The measurements require a few activities using wrist-based heart rate or a
compatible chest heart rate monitor.
These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat. For more information, go to www.garmin.com
/runningscience.
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. Your device adjusts the VO2 max. values for heat
and altitude, such as when you are acclimating to high heat environments or high altitude.
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 your training history, your 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.
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.
Turning Off Performance Notifications
Some performance notifications 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. You can turn off the performance condition feature to avoid some of these notifications.
