Power Guide

You can create and use a power strategy to plan your effort on a course. Your Edge device uses your FTP, the

course elevation, and the projected time it will take you to complete the course to create a customized power

guide.

One of the most important steps in planning a successful power guide strategy is choosing your effort level.

Putting a harder effort into the course will increase the power recommendations, while choosing an easier effort

will reduce them (Creating a Power Guide, page 9). The primary goal of a power guide is to help you complete

the course based on what is known about your ability, not to achieve a specific target time. You can adjust the

effort level during your ride.

Power guides are always associated with a course and cannot be used with workouts or segments. You can

view and edit your strategy in Garmin Connect and sync it with compatible Garmin

devices. This feature

requires a power meter, which must be paired with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 51). After

the devices are paired, you can customize the optional data fields (Data Fields, page 82).

My Stats

The Edge 1040 device can track your personal statistics and calculate performance measurements.

Performance measurements require a compatible heart rate monitor or power meter.

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. Cycling performance measurements require a heart rate monitor and a power meter.

These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat Analytics

™

. For more information, go to

www.garmin.com/performance-data.

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 displays heat and altitude corrected VO2 max.

values when you are acclimating to high heat environments or high altitude.

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.

Training load focus: Your device 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 device displays your load distribution over the last 4 weeks.

Recovery time: The recovery time displays how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for

the next hard workout.

Functional threshold power (FTP): The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup to

estimate your FTP. For a more accurate rating, you can conduct a guided test.

HRV stress test: The HRV (heart rate variability) stress test requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. The

device records your heart rate variability while standing still for 3 minutes. It provides your overall stress

level. The scale is 1 to 100, and a lower score indicates a lower stress level.

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.

My Stats 17

Power curve: The power curve displays your sustained power output over time. You can view your power curve

for the previous month, three months, or twelve months.

Training Status Levels

Training status shows you how your training affects your fitness level and performance. Your training status is

based on changes to your training load and VO2 max. over an extended time period. You can use your training

status to help plan future training and continue improving your fitness level.

Peaking: Peaking means that you are in ideal race condition. Your recently reduced training load is allowing your

body to recover and fully compensate for earlier training. You should plan ahead, since this peak state can

only be maintained for a short time.

Productive: Your current training load is moving your fitness level and performance in the right direction. You

should plan recovery periods into your training to maintain your fitness level.

Maintaining: Your current training load is enough to maintain your fitness level. To see improvement, try adding

more variety to your workouts or increasing your training volume.

Recovery: Your lighter training load is allowing your body to recover, which is essential during extended periods

of hard training. You can return to a higher training load when you feel ready.

Unproductive: Your training load is at a good level, but your fitness is decreasing. Your body may be struggling

to recover, so you should pay attention to your overall health including stress, nutrition, and rest.

Detraining: Detraining occurs when you are training much less than usual for a week or more, and it is affecting

your fitness level. You can try increasing your training load to see improvement.

Overreaching: Your training load is very high and counterproductive. Your body needs a rest. You should give

yourself time to recover by adding lighter training to your schedule.

No Status: The device needs one or two weeks of training history, including activities with VO2 max. results

from running or cycling, to determine your training status.

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. VO2 max. estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat.

You can use your Garmin device paired with a compatible heart rate monitor and power meter to display your

cycling VO2 max. estimate.

Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate

Before you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must put on the heart rate monitor, install the power meter,

and pair them with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 51). If your device was packaged with a

heart rate monitor, the device and sensor are already paired. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user

profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 59), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate

Zones, page 48).

NOTE: The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few rides to learn about your cycling

performance.

Tips for Cycling VO2 Max. Estimates

The success and accuracy of the VO2 max. calculation improves when your ride is a sustained and moderately

hard effort, and where heart rate and power are not highly variable.

• Before your ride, check that your device, heart rate monitor, and power meter are functioning properly, paired,

and have good battery life.

• During your 20 minute ride, maintain your heart rate at greater than 70% of your maximum heart rate.

• During your 20 minute ride, maintain a fairly constant power output.

• Avoid rolling terrain.

• Avoid riding in groups where there is a lot of drafting.

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 Edge 1040 device 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.

Training Load

Training load is a measurement of your training volume over the last seven days. It is the sum of your excess

post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) measurements for the last seven days. The gauge indicates whether

your current load is low, high, or within the optimal range to maintain or improve your fitness level. The optimal

range is determined based on your individual fitness level and training history. The range adjusts as your

training time and intensity increase or decrease.

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. After 4 weeks of training history, your training load estimate will

have more detailed target information to help you balance your training activities.

Below targets: Your training load is lower than optimal in all intensity categories. Try increasing the duration or

frequency of your workouts.

Low aerobic shortage: Try adding more low aerobic activities to provide recovery and balance for your higher

intensity activities.

High aerobic shortage: Try adding more high aerobic activities to help improve your lactate threshold and VO2

max. over time.

Anaerobic shortage: Try adding a few more intense, anaerobic activities to improve your speed and anaerobic

capacity over time.

Balanced: Your training load is balanced and provides all-around fitness benefits as you continue training.

Low aerobic focus: Your training load is mostly low aerobic activity. This provides a solid foundation and

prepares you for adding more intense workouts.

High aerobic focus: Your training load is mostly high aerobic activity. These activities help to improve lactate

threshold, VO2 max., and endurance.

Anaerobic focus: Your training load is mostly intense activity. This leads to rapid fitness gains, but should be

balanced with low aerobic activities.

Above targets: Your training load is higher than optimal, and you should consider scaling back the duration and

frequency of your workouts.

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. Each

label is color coded and corresponds to your training load focus (Training Load Focus, page 22). Each feedback

phrase, for example, "Highly Impacting VO2 Max." has a corresponding description in your Garmin Connect

activity details.

Aerobic Training Effect uses your heart rate to measure how the accumulated intensity of an exercise affects

your aerobic fitness and indicates if the workout had a maintaining or improving effect on your fitness level.

Your excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) accumulated during exercise is mapped to a range of

values that account for your fitness level and training habits. Steady workouts at moderate effort or workouts

involving longer intervals (>180 sec) have a positive impact on your aerobic metabolism and result in an

improved aerobic Training Effect.

Anaerobic Training Effect uses heart rate and speed (or power) to determine how a workout affects your ability

to perform at very high intensity. You receive a value based on the anaerobic contribution to EPOC and the type

of activity. Repeated high-intensity intervals of 10 to 120 seconds have a highly beneficial impact on your

anaerobic capability and result in an improved anaerobic Training Effect.

You can add Aerobic Training Effect and Anaerobic Training Effect as data fields to one of your training screens

to monitor your numbers throughout the activity.

Training Effect Aerobic Benefit Anaerobic Benefit

From 0.0 to 0.9 No benefit. No benefit.

From 1.0 to 1.9 Minor benefit. Minor benefit.

From 2.0 to 2.9 Maintains your aerobic fitness. Maintains your anaerobic fitness.

Potential stamina estimate. Think of potential stamina as the total capacity of your fuel tank. It will

decrease quickly if you are riding at a high effort level. Reducing your effort or resting results in a

slower decline of your potential stamina.

Current stamina estimate. Your current stamina reflects how much you have left in the tank at your

current level of effort. This estimate combines general fatigue with anaerobic cycling activities, such

as sprints, climbs, and attacks.

Red: Stamina is depleting.

Orange: Stamina is steady.

Green: Stamina is recharging.

Viewing Your Stress Score

Before you can view your stress score, you must put on a chest heart rate monitor and pair it with your device

Wireless Sensors 47

Setting Your Heart Rate Zones

The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup to determine your heart rate zones. You can

manually adjust the heart rate zones according to your fitness goals (Fitness Goals, page 48). For the most

accurate calorie data during your activity, you should set your maximum heart rate, resting heart rate, and heart

rate zones.

1 Select > My Stats > Training Zones > Heart Rate Zones.

2 Enter your maximum, lactate threshold, and resting heart rate values.

You can use the auto detect feature to automatically detect your heart rate during an activity. The zone

values update automatically, but you can also edit each value manually.

3 Select Based On:.

4 Select an option:

• Select BPM to view and edit the zones in beats per minute.

• Select % Max. to view and edit the zones as a percentage of your maximum heart rate.

• Select % HRR to view and edit the zones as a percentage of your heart rate reserve (maximum heart rate

minus resting heart rate).

• Select %LTHR to view and edit the zones as a percentage of your lactate threshold heart rate.

About Heart Rate Zones

Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their

level of fitness. A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted heart

rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are

calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.

Fitness Goals

Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying

these principles.

• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.

• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength.

If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page 91) to

determine the best heart rate zone for your fitness objectives.

If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms

and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is

220 minus your age.

Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data

If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try these tips.

• Reapply water to the electrodes and contact patches (if applicable).

• Tighten the strap on your chest.

• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes.

• Follow the care instructions (Caring for the Heart Rate Monitor, page 75).

• Wear a cotton shirt or thoroughly wet both sides of the strap.

Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate monitor can create static electricity that interferes

with heart rate signals.

• Move away from sources that can interfere with your heart rate monitor.

Sources of interference may include strong electromagnetic fields, some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, high-

voltage power lines, electric motors, ovens, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and wireless LAN

access points.
