Garmin EDGE EXPLORE 2 - Getting Your 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 29). For the most accurate estimate,
complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 27), and set your maximum heart rate
(Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 29).
NOTE: 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 > My Stats > VO2 Max.
