Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements, Turning Off Performance Notifications

Page 42 highlights

Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements You can sync activities and performance measurements from other Garmin devices to your Forerunner watch using your Garmin Connect account. This allows your watch to more accurately reflect your training status and fitness. For example, you can record a ride with an Edge® bike computer, and view your activity details and overall training load on your Forerunner watch. Sync your Forerunner watch and other Garmin devices to your Garmin Connect account. TIP: You can set a primary training device and primary wearable in the Garmin Connect app (Unified Training Status, page 45). Recent activities and performance measurements from your other Garmin devices appear on your Forerunner watch. Turning Off Performance Notifications Some performance notifications 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. You can turn off the performance condition feature to avoid some of these notifications. 1 Hold . 2 Select System > Performance Condition. Training Status These measurements are estimates that can help you track and understand your training activities. 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. Training status: Training status shows you how your training affects your fitness and performance. Your training status is based on changes to your VO2 max., acute load, and HRV status over an extended time period. 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 27). Your watch displays heat and altitude corrected VO2 max. values when you are acclimating to high heat environments or high altitude (Heat and Altitude Performance Acclimation, page 37). Acute load: Acute load is a weighted sum of your recent exercise load scores including exercise duration and intensity. (Acute Load, page 35). 34 Appearance
