Viewing Your Recovery Time Before you can use the recovery time feature, you must put on the heart rate monitor, and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 16). If your device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the device and sensor are already paired. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 19), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 15). 1 Select > My Stats > Recovery > Enable. 2 Go for a ride. 3 After your ride, select Save Ride. The recovery time appears. The maximum time is 4 days, and the minimum time is 6 hours. Getting Your FTP Estimate The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup to estimate your functional threshold power (FTP). For a more accurate FTP value, you can conduct an FTP test using a paired power meter and heart rate monitor (Conducting an FTP Test, page 9). Select > My Stats > FTP. 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 Blue Green Orange Red Superior Excellent Good Fair Untrained For more information, see the appendix (FTP Ratings, page 27). Conducting an FTP Test Before you can conduct a test to determine your functional threshold power (FTP), you must have a paired power meter and heart rate monitor (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 16). 1 Select > My Stats > FTP > FTP Test > Ride. 2 Select to start the activity timer. After you begin your ride, the device displays each step of the test, the target, and current power data. A message appears when the test is complete. 3 Select to stop the activity timer. 4 Select Save Ride. Your FTP appears as a value measured in watts per kilogram, your power output in watts, and a position on the color gauge. Automatically Calculating FTP Before the device can calculate your functional threshold power (FTP), you must have a paired power meter and heart rate monitor (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 16). 1 Select > My Stats > FTP > Enable Auto Calculation. 2 Ride at a steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes outdoors. 3 After your ride, select Save Ride. 4 Select > My Stats > FTP. Your FTP appears as a value measured in watts per kilogram, your power output in watts, and a position on the color gauge. Viewing Your Stress Score Before you can view your stress score, you must put on a chest heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 16). Stress score is the result of a three-minute test performed while standing still, where the Edge device analyzes heart rate variability to determine your overall stress. Training, sleep, nutrition, and general life stress all impact how an athlete performs. The stress score range is 1 to 100, where 1 is a very low stress state, and 100 is a very high stress state. Knowing your stress score can help you decide if your body is ready for a tough workout or yoga. TIP: Garmin recommends that you measure your stress score at approximately the same time and under the same conditions every day. 1 Select > My Stats > Stress Score > Measure. 2 Stand still, and rest for 3 minutes. Turning Off Performance Notifications Performance notifications are turned on by default. Some performance notifications are alerts that appear upon completion of your activity. Some performance notifications appear during an activity or when you achieve a new performance measurement, such as a new VO2 max. estimate. 1 Select > My Stats > Performance Notifications. 2 Select an option. Viewing Your Power Curve Before you can view your power curve, you must pair your power meter with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 16). The power curve displays your sustained power output over time. You can view your power curve for the previous month, three months, or twelve months. 1 Select > My Stats > Power Curve. 2 Select or to select a time period. Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements You can sync activities and performance measurements from other Garmin devices to your Edge 830 device using your Garmin Connect account. This allows your device to more accurately reflect your training status and fitness. For example, you can record a run with a Forerunner® device, and view your activity details and overall training load on your Edge 830 device. 1 Select > My Stats > Training Status. 2 Select > Physio TrueUp. When you sync your device with your smartphone, recent activities and performance measurements from your other Garmin devices appear on your Edge 830 device. Personal Records When you complete a ride, the device displays any new personal records you achieved during that ride. Personal records include your fastest time over a standard distance, longest ride, and most ascent gained during a ride. When paired with a compatible power meter, the device displays the maximum power reading recorded during a 20-minute period. Viewing Your Personal Records Select > My Stats > Personal Records.
