Viewing Your Predicted Race Times

Before you can view your projected race times (running only),

you must put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device.

For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup

(

Setting Up Your User Profile

(

Setting Your Heart Rate Zones

).

Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate (

About VO2 Max.

Estimates

) and published data sources to provide a target race

time based on your current state of fitness. This projection also

presumes you have completed the proper training for the race.

NOTE:

The projections may seem inaccurate at first. The device

requires a few runs to learn about your running performance.

1

Put on your heart rate monitor, and go for a run.

monitor to display how much time remains before you are fully

recovered and ready for the next hard workout. The recovery

advisor feature includes recovery time and recovery check.

Firstbeat Technologies Ltd.

Recovery check

: The recovery check provides a real-time

indication of your state of recovery within the first several

minutes of an activity.

following an activity. The time counts down until it is optimal

for you to attempt another hard workout.

Turning On the Recovery Advisor

About Training Effect

Training Effect measures the impact of an activity on your

aerobic fitness. Training Effect accumulates during the activity.

As the activity progresses, the training effect value increases,

telling you how the activity has improved your fitness. Training

Effect is determined by your user profile information, heart rate,

duration, and intensity of your activity.

It is important to know that your Training Effect numbers (1.0–

5.0) may seem abnormally high during your first few runs. It

takes several activities for the device to learn your aerobic

fitness.
