Viewing Your Performance Condition This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. 1 Add Performance Condition to a data screen (Customizing the Data Screens, page 101). 2 Go for a run or ride. After 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears. 3 Scroll to the data screen to view your performance condition throughout the run or ride. Getting Your FTP Estimate Before you can get your functional threshold power (FTP) estimate, you must pair a chest heart rate monitor and power meter with your watch (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 74), and you must get your VO2 max. estimate (Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling, page 28). The watch uses your user profile information from the initial setup and your VO2 max. estimate to estimate your FTP. The watch will automatically detect your FTP during rides at a steady, high intensity with heart rate and power. 1 Press UP or DOWN to view the performance glance. 2 Press START to view glance details. 3 Press UP or DOWN to view your FTP estimate.
