Viewing Your Recovery Time
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup
(Setting Up Your User Profile, page 10), and set your
maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones,
page 11).
1
Go for a run.
After 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears
(Viewing Your Performance Condition, page 9).
2
After your run, select Save.
The recovery time appears. The maximum time is 4 days.
NOTE: From the watch face, you can select UP or DOWN to
view the performance widget, and select to scroll through
the performance measurements to view your recovery time.
Training Load
Training load is a measurement of your training volume over the
last seven days. It is the sum of your 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.
Viewing Your Predicted Race Times
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup
(Setting Up Your User Profile, page 10), and set your
maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones,
page 11).
Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate (About VO2 Max.
Estimates, page 8) 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.
NOTE: The projections may seem inaccurate at first. The device
requires a few runs to learn about your running performance.
1
Select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget.
2
Select to scroll through the performance measurements.
Your projected race times appear for 5K, 10K, half marathon,
and marathon distances.
Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level
Stress level is the result of a three-minute test performed while
standing still, where the fēnix device analyzes heart rate
variability to determine your overall stress. Training, sleep,
nutrition, and general life stress all impact how a runner
performs. The stress level range is from 1 to 100, where 1 is a
very low stress state and 100 is a very high stress state.
Knowing your stress level can help you decide if your body is
ready for a tough training run or yoga.
Viewing Your Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level
This feature requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. Before
you can view your heart rate variability (HRV) stress level, you
must put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device
(Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 24). If your fēnix 5/5S device
was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already
paired.
TIP: Garmin recommends that you measure your stress level at
approximately the same time and under the same conditions
every day.
1
If necessary, select > Add > HRV Stress to add the stress
app to the apps list.
2
Select Yes to add the app to your list of favorites.
3
From the watch face, select > HRV Stress > .
4
Stand still, and rest for 3 minutes.
Performance Condition
As you complete your activity, such as running or cycling, the
performance condition feature analyzes your pace, heart rate,
and heart rate variability to make a real-time assessment of your
ability to perform compared to your average fitness level.
Performance condition values range from -20 to +20. After the
first 6 to 20 minutes of your activity, the device displays your
performance condition score. For example, a score of +5 means
that you are rested, fresh, and capable of a good run or ride.
You can add performance condition as a data field to one of
your training screens to monitor your ability throughout the
activity. Performance condition can also be an indicator of
fatigue level, especially at the end of a long training run or ride.
NOTE: The device requires a few runs or rides with a heart rate
monitor to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate and learn about
your running or riding ability (About VO2 Max. Estimates,
page 8).
Viewing Your Performance Condition
This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible
chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest heart rate
monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your device (Pairing
ANT+ Sensors, page 24). If your fēnix 5/5S device was
packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already
paired.
Your device analyzes your performance condition based on
heart rate and power data.
1
Add Perform. Cond. to a data screen (Customizing the Data
Screens, page 19).
2
Go for a run or ride.
After 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears.
3
Scroll to the data screen to view your performance condition
throughout the run or ride.
Getting Your FTP Estimate
Before you can get your functional threshold power (FTP)
estimate, you must pair a chest heart rate monitor and power
meter with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors, page 24), and
you must get your VO2 max. estimate for cycling (Getting Your
VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling, page 8).
The device uses your user profile information from the initial
setup and your VO2 max. estimate to estimate your FTP.
1
Select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget.
2
Select to scroll through the performance measurements.
Your FTP estimate appears as a value measured in watts per
kilogram, your power output in watts, and a position on the
color gauge.
Purple Superior
Blue Excellent
Green Good
Orange Fair
Red Untrained
For more information, see the appendix (FTP Ratings,
page 31).
NOTE: When a performance notification alerts you to a new
FTP, you can select Accept to save the new FTP, or Decline
to keep your current FTP (Turning On Performance
Notifications, page 7).
Conducting an FTP Test
Before you can conduct a test to determine your functional
threshold power (FTP), you must pair a chest heart rate monitor
and a power meter with your device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors,
page 24), and you must get your VO2 max. estimate for
cycling (Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling, page 8).
