The success and accuracy of the VO2 max. calculation 

improves when your ride is a sustained and moderately hard 

effort, and where heart rate and power are not highly variable.
• Before your ride, check that your Forerunner device, heart 

rate monitor, and power meter are functioning properly, 

paired, and have good battery life.

• During your 20 minute ride, maintain your heart rate at 

greater than 70% of your maximum heart rate.

• During your 20 minute ride, maintain a fairly constant power 

output.

• Avoid rolling terrain.
• Avoid riding in groups where there is a lot of drafting.

You can use your Garmin device paired with the heart rate 

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. 

Recovery advisor technology is provided and supported by 

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.

Recovery time: The recovery time appears immediately 

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

for you to attempt another hard workout.

Before you can use the recovery advisor feature, you must put 

on the heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (

). If your Forerunner was packaged with a 

heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. For the most 

accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (

), and set your maximum heart rate (

).

Select   > My Stats > Recovery Advisor > Status > On.

Go for a run.
Within the first several minutes of your run, a recovery check 

appears, showing your real-time state of recovery.

After your run, select Save.
The recovery time appears. The maximum time is 4 days, 

and the minimum time is 6 hours.

The device uses your user profile information from the initial 

setup to determine your default heart rate zones. The device 

has separate heart rate zones for running and cycling. For the 

most accurate calorie data during your activity, set your 

maximum heart rate. You can also set each heart rate zone and 

enter your resting heart rate manually. You can manually adjust 

your zones on the device or using your Garmin Connect 

account.

Select   > My Stats > User Profile > Heart Rate Zones.

Select Default to view the default values (optional).
The default values can be applied to running and cycling.

Select Running or Cycling.

Select Preference > Set Custom > Based On.

Select an option:
• Select BPM to view and edit the zones in beats per 

minute.

• Select %Max. HR to view and edit the zones as a 

percentage of your maximum heart rate.

• Select %HRR to view and edit the zones as a percentage 

of your heart rate reserve (maximum heart rate minus 

resting heart rate).

Select Max. HR, and enter your maximum heart rate.

Select a zone, and enter a value for each zone.

Select Resting HR, and enter your resting heart rate.

Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase 

their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A 

heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five 

commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 

according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones 

are calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart 

rate.

Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and 

improve your fitness by understanding and applying these 

principles.
• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.
• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve 

cardiovascular capacity and strength.

• Knowing your heart rate zones can prevent you from 

overtraining and can decrease your risk of injury.

If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table 

zone for your fitness objectives.
If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the 

calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health 

centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. 

The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.

Before you can pair, you must put on the heart rate monitor or 

install the sensor.
Pairing is the connecting of ANT+ wireless sensors, for 

example, connecting a heart rate monitor with your Garmin 

device.

Bring the device within range (3 m) of the sensor.
NOTE: Stay 10 m away from other ANT+ sensors while 

pairing.

Select   > Settings > Sensors and Accessories > Add 

New.
