Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling
This feature requires a power meter and wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. The
power meter must be paired with your MARQ device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 95). If you are using
a chest heart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your device.
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 48) and set
your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 49). The estimate may seem inaccurate at first.
The device requires a few rides to learn about your cycling performance.
1 Ride at a steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes.
2 After your ride, select Save.
3 Select UP or DOWN to scroll through the performance measurements.
TIP: You can select START to view additional information.

Viewing Your Fitness Age
Your fitness age gives you an idea of how your fitness compares with a person of the same gender. Your device
uses information, such as your age, body mass index (BMI), resting heart rate data, and vigorous activity history
to provide a fitness age. If you have a Garmin Index
™
scale, your device uses the body fat percentage metric
instead of BMI to determine your fitness age. Exercise and lifestyle changes can impact your fitness age.
NOTE: For the most accurate fitness age, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile,
page 48).
1 From the Garmin Connect app, select or .
2 Select Health Stats > Fitness Age.
Viewing Your Predicted Race Times
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 48), and set
your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 49).
Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 38) and your training history to
provide a target race time. The device analyzes several weeks of your training data to refine the race time
estimates.
TIP: If you have more than one Garmin device, you can enable the Physio TrueUp
™
feature, which allows your
device to sync activities, history, and data from other devices (Syncing Activities and Performance
Measurements, page 37).
1 From the watch face, select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget.
2 Select START to scroll through the performance measurements.
Your projected race times appear for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon distances.
NOTE: The projections may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few runs to learn about your
running performance.
