Using the Stress Level Glance, Performance Measurements, Viewing Your Predicted Race Times

Page 28 highlights

Using the Stress Level Glance The stress level glance displays your current stress level and a graph of your stress level for the last several hours. It can also guide you through a breathing activity to help you relax (Customizing the Glance Loop, page 17). 1 While you are sitting or inactive, press UP or DOWN to view the stress level glance. 2 Press START. 3 Select an option: • Press DOWN to view additional details. TIP: Blue bars indicate periods of rest. Orange bars indicate periods of stress. Gray bars indicate times when you were too active to determine your stress level. • Press START to start a Breathwork activity. 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. Cycling performance measurements require a heart rate monitor and a power meter. These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat Analytics™. 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 21). 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 22). 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 23). Performance condition: Your performance condition is a real-time assessment after 6 to 20 minutes of activity. It can be added as a data field so you can view your performance condition during the rest of your activity. It compares your real-time condition to your average fitness level (Performance Condition, page 24). Lactate threshold: Lactate threshold requires a chest heart rate monitor. Lactate threshold is the point where your muscles start to rapidly fatigue. Your watch measures your lactate threshold level using heart rate data and pace (Lactate Threshold, page 24). Power curve (cycling): 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 (Viewing Your Power Curve, page 25). 20 Appearance
