1 Go for a run.
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 START to
scroll through the performance
measurements to view your recovery
time.
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. You can save or discard
the activity after this value appears.
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.
Viewing Your Predicted Race Times
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user
profile setup (
Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9
),
and set your maximum heart rate (
Setting Your
Heart
Rate Zones, page 9
).
Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate (
About VO2
Max. Estimates, page 18
) 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 (
