Viewing Your Recovery Time
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 80), and set
your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 81).
1 Start a running activity.
2 After your run, select Save.
The recovery time appears. The maximum time is 4 days.
NOTE: From the watch face, you can press UP or DOWN to view the training status glance, and press START
to scroll through the metrics to view your recovery time.
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. 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.
Heat and Altitude Performance Acclimation
Environmental factors such as high temperature and altitude impact your training and performance. For
example, high altitude training can have a positive impact on your fitness, but you may notice a temporary VO2
max. decline while exposed to high altitudes. Your Forerunner watch provides acclimation notifications and
corrections to your VO2 max. estimate and training status when the temperature is above 22ºC (72ºF) and when
the altitude is above 800 m (2625 ft.). You can keep track of your heat and altitude acclimation in the training
status glance.
NOTE: The heat acclimation feature is available only for GPS activities and requires weather data from your
connected phone.
Pausing and Resuming Your Training Status
If you are injured or sick, you can pause your training status. You can continue to record fitness activities, but
your training status, training load focus, recovery feedback, and workout recommendations are temporarily
disabled.
You can resume your training status when you are ready to start training again. For best results, you need at
least one VO2 max. measurement each week (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 26).
