Tips for Swimming Activities
· Press BACK to record an interval during open water swimming. · Before starting a pool swimming activity, follow the on-screen instructions to select your pool size or enter a
custom size. The watch measures and records distance by completed pool lengths. The pool size must be correct to display accurate distance. The next time you start a pool swimming activity, the watch uses this pool size.

Pause the activity timer when resting. · Press BACK to record a rest during pool swimming (Auto Rest and Manual Rest, page 8). The watch automatically records swim intervals and lengths for pool swimming. · To help the watch count your lengths, use a strong push off the wall and glide before your first stroke. · When doing drills, you must either pause the activity timer or use the drill logging feature (Training with the Drill Log, page 8).
Swim Terminology
Length: One trip down the pool. Interval: One or more consecutive lengths. A new interval starts after a rest. Stroke: A stroke is counted every time your arm wearing the watch completes a full cycle. Swolf: Your swolf score is the sum of the time for one pool length and the number of strokes for that length.
For example, 30 seconds plus 15 strokes equals a swolf score of 45. For open water swimming, swolf is calculated over 25 meters. Swolf is a measurement of swimming efficiency and, like golf, a lower score is better.

Recovery Time
You can use your Garmin device with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout.
NOTE: The recovery time recommendation uses your VO2 max. estimate and may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance.
The recovery time appears immediately following an activity. The time counts down until it is optimal for you to attempt another hard workout. The device updates your recovery time throughout the day based on changes in sleep, stress, relaxation, and physical activity.
Viewing Your Recovery Time
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 53), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 54).

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 activity summary and recovery time, and select START to view more details.
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.
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 AnalyticsTM. For more information, go to www.garmin .com/performance-data/running/.
NOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The watch requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance.
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 (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 20).
Predicted race times: The watch uses the VO2 max. estimate and your training history to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness (Viewing Your Predicted Race Times, page 21).
HRV status: The watch analyzes your wrist heart rate readings while you are sleeping to determine your heart rate variability (HRV) status based on your personal, long-term HRV averages (Heart Rate Variability Status, page 22).

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. The Forerunner device requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate.
On the device, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number, description, and position on the color gauge. On your Garmin Connect account, you can view additional details about your VO2 max. estimate, such as where it ranks for your age and sex.

Heart Rate Variability Status
Your watch analyzes your wrist heart rate readings while you are sleeping to determine your heart rate variability (HRV). Training, physical activity, sleep, nutrition, and healthy habits all impact your heart rate variability. HRV values can vary widely based on gender, age, and fitness level. A balanced HRV status may indicate positive signs of health such as good training and recovery balance, greater cardiovascular fitness, and resilience to stress. An unbalanced or poor status may be a sign of fatigue, greater recovery needs, or increased stress. For best results, you should wear the watch while sleeping. The watch requires three weeks of consistent sleep data to display your heart rate variability status.

Status

Description

Balanced Your seven-day average HRV is within your baseline range.

Unbalanced Your seven-day average HRV is above or below your baseline range.

Low

Your seven-day average HRV is well below your baseline range.

Poor

Your HRV values are averaging well below the normal range for your age.

No status No status means that there is insufficient data to generate a seven- day average.

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. 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 seconds) 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.

Heart Rate Accessory Running Pace and Distance
The HRM-Fit and HRM-Pro series accessories calculate your running pace and distance based on your user profile and the motion measured by the sensor on every stride. The heart rate monitor provides running pace and distance when GPS is not available, such as during treadmill running. You can view your running pace and distance on your compatible Forerunner watch when connected using ANT+ technology. You can also view it on compatible third-party training apps when connected using Bluetooth technology.
The pace and distance accuracy improves with calibration.
Automatic calibration: The default setting for your watch is Auto Calibrate. The heart rate accessory calibrates each time you run outside with it connected to your compatible Forerunner watch.
NOTE: Automatic calibration does not work for indoor, trail, or ultra run activity profiles (Tips for Recording Running Pace and Distance, page 50).
Manual calibration: You can select Calibrate & Save after a treadmill run with your connected heart rate accessory (Calibrating the Treadmill Distance, page 9).
Tips for Recording Running Pace and Distance
· Update your Forerunner watch software (Product Updates, page 78).
· Complete several outdoor runs with GPS and your connected HRM-Fit or HRM-Pro series accessory. It’s important that your outdoor range of paces matches your range of paces on the treadmill.
· If your run includes sand or deep snow, go to the sensor settings, and turn off Auto Calibrate.
· If you previously connected a compatible foot pod using ANT+ technology, set the foot pod status to Off, or remove it from the list of connected sensors.
· Complete a treadmill run with manual calibration (Calibrating the Treadmill Distance, page 9).
· If automatic and manual calibrations don’t seem accurate, go to the sensor settings, and select HRM Pace & Distance > Reset Calibration Data.
NOTE: You can try turning off Auto Calibrate, and then manually calibrate again (Calibrating the Treadmill Distance, page 9).
Running Power
Garmin running power is calculated using measured running dynamics information, user mass, environmental data, and other sensor data. The power measurement estimates the amount of power a runner applies to the road surface, and it is displayed in watts. Using running power as a gauge of effort may suit some runners better than using either pace or heart rate. Running power can be more responsive than heart rate for indicating the level of effort, and it can account for the uphills, downhills, and wind, which a pace measurement does not do.
Running power can be measured using the watch sensors. You can customize the running power data fields to view your power output and make adjustments to your training (Data Fields, page 86). You can set up power alerts to be notified when you reach a specified power zone (Activity Alerts, page 71).
Running power zones are similar to cycling power zones. The values for the zones are default values based on gender, weight, and average ability, and may not match your personal abilities. You can view your zones on the Garmin Connect account.
Running Power Settings
Hold UP, select Activities & Apps, select a running activity, select the activity settings, and select Running Power.
Status: Enables or disables recording Garmin running power data.
Account for Wind: Enables or disables using wind data when calculating your running power. Wind data is a combination of the speed, heading, and barometer data from your watch and the available wind data from your phone.

Running Dynamics

Running dynamics is feedback about your running form. Your Forerunner watch has an accelerometer to calculate five running form metrics. You can view your running dynamics data in the Garmin Connect app.

Metric

Description

Run cadence

Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It displays the total steps (right and left combined).

Vertical oscilla Vertical oscillation is your bounce while running. It displays the vertical motion of your

tion

torso, measured in centimeters.

Ground contact time

Ground contact time is the amount of time in each step that you spend on the ground while running. It is measured in milliseconds.
NOTE: Ground contact time and balance are not available while walking.

Stride length

Stride length is the length of your stride from one footfall to the next. It is measured in meters.

Vertical ratio

Vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical oscillation to stride length. It displays a percentage. A lower number typically indicates better running form.

Training with Running Dynamics
The watch uses wrist-based running dynamics to provide feedback about your running form. You can add a running dynamics screen to any running activity (Customizing the Data Screens, page 70). 1 Press START, and select a running activity. 2 Press START to start the activity timer. 3 Go for a run. 4 Scroll to the running dynamics screen to view your metrics.

5 If necessary, hold UP to edit how the running dynamics data appears.

Color Gauges and Running Dynamic Data
Garmin has researched many runners of all different levels. The data values in the red or orange zones are typical for less experienced or slower runners. The data values in the green, blue, or purple zones are typical for more experienced or faster runners. More experienced runners tend to exhibit shorter ground contact times, lower vertical oscillation, lower vertical ratio, and higher cadence than less experienced runners. However, taller runners typically have slightly slower cadences, longer strides, and slightly higher vertical oscillation. Vertical ratio is your vertical oscillation divided by stride length. It is not correlated with height.
For additional theories and interpretations of running dynamics data, you can search reputable running publications and websites.

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 54) 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.
