IMPORTANT SAFETY AND PRODUCT INFORMATION WARNING Failure to heed the following warnings could result in an accident or medical event resulting in death or serious injury. Marine Warnings If your device provides tide information, this feature is for informational purposes only. It is the user's responsibility to heed all posted tide or water related guidance, to remain aware of your surroundings, and to use safe judgment around the water at all times. Failure to heed this warning could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death. If your device includes the anchor feature, you should use it as a tool for situational awareness only, as it may not prevent groundings or collisions in all circumstances. You are responsible for safe and prudent operation of your vessel, for remaining aware of your surroundings, and for using safe judgment on the water at all times. Failure to heed this warning could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death. Battery Warnings A lithium-ion battery is used in this device. If these guidelines are not followed, batteries may experience a shortened life span or may present a risk of damage to the device, fire, chemical burn, electrolyte leak, and/or injury. Do not expose the device or batteries to fire, explosion, or other hazard. Do not disassemble, modify, remanufacture, puncture, or damage the device or batteries. Do not remove or attempt to remove the non-user-replaceable battery. Device Warnings To avoid possible device damage, do not leave the device exposed to a heat source or in a high-temperature location, such as in the sun in an unattended vehicle. Do not operate or store the device for an extended time period outside of the applicable temperature range listed in the printed manual in the product packaging. Do not use a power cable, data cable, and/or power adapter that is not supplied by Garmin or is not properly certified. Health Warnings If you have a pacemaker or other internal electronic device, consult your physician before using a heart rate monitor. The optical wrist heart rate monitor and pulse oximeter emit lights and flash occasionally. Consult your physician if you have epilepsy or are sensitive to bright or flashing lights. This device may have a flashlight that can be programmed to flash at various intervals. Consult your physician if you have epilepsy or are sensitive to bright or flashing lights. Always consult your physician before beginning or modifying any exercise program. The device, accessories, heart rate monitor, pulse oximeter, and related data are intended to be used only for recreational purposes, not medical purposes, and are not intended to diagnose, monitor, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. The heart rate and blood oxygen saturation readings are for reference only, and no responsibility is accepted for the consequences of any erroneous readings. While the optical wrist heart rate monitor and pulse oximeter technologies typically provide accurate estimates of a user's heart rate and blood oxygen saturation respectively, there are inherent limitations with the technologies that may cause some of the readings to be inaccurate under certain circumstances, including the user's physical characteristics, device fit and position, and type and intensity of activity. Activity trackers rely on sensors that track your movement and other metrics. The data provided by these devices is intended to be a close estimation of your activity and metrics tracked, but may not be completely accurate. Safety and Tracking Warning The assistance feature allows you to send your location to an emergency contact. This is a supplemental feature and should not be relied upon as a primary method to obtain emergency assistance. The Garmin Connect app does not contact emergency services on your behalf. The incident detection feature is only available during certain outdoor activities. For more information, see the device owner's manual. Bicycle Warnings Always use your best judgement, and operate the bicycle in a safe manner. Make sure your bicycle and hardware are properly maintained and that all parts are correctly installed. Navigation Warnings If your Garmin device uses or accepts map data, follow these guidelines to ensure safe navigating. Always carefully compare information displayed on the device to all available navigation sources, including weather conditions, maps, street/

trail signs and conditions, waterway restrictions, and other factors that may affect safety. Always resolve any discrepancies or questions before continuing navigation, and defer to posted signs and conditions. Use this device only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the device for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography. Always use your best judgment and exercise common sense when making off-road navigational decisions. The device is designed to provide route suggestions only. It is not a replacement for attentiveness and proper preparation for outdoor activities. Do not follow the route suggestions if they suggest an illegal course or would put you in an unsafe situation. Always be mindful of the effects of the environment and the inherent risks of the activity before embarking on off-road activities, especially the impact that weather and weather-related trail conditions can have on the safety of your activity. Ensure that you have the proper gear and supplies for your activity before navigating unfamiliar paths and trails. CAUTION Failure to heed the following cautions could result in minor or moderate injury, or property damage. Skin Irritation Some users may experience skin irritation after prolonged use of the watch, especially if the user has sensitive skin or allergies. If you notice any skin irritation, remove the watch and give your skin time to heal. To help prevent skin irritation, ensure the watch is clean and dry, and do not overtighten the watch on your wrist. For more information, go to garmin.com/fitandcare.

The device measures and displays your backswing time and downswing time. The device also displays your swing tempo. Swing tempo is the backswing time divided by the downswing time, expressed in a ratio. A 3 to 1 ratio, or 3.0, is the ideal swing tempo based on studies of professional golfers. 26 Activities and Apps The Ideal Swing Tempo You can achieve the ideal 3.0 tempo using different swing timings, for example, 0.7 sec./0.23 sec. or 1.2 sec./

0.4 sec. Each golfer may have a unique swing tempo based on their ability and experience. Garmin provides six different timings. The device displays a graph that indicates if your backswing or downswing times are too fast, too slow, or just right for the selected timing. Timing choices (backswing to downswing time ratio) Backswing time Downswing time Your tempo Good timing Too slow Too fast To find your ideal swing timing, you should start with the slowest timing and try it for a few swings. When the tempo graph is consistently green for both your backswing and downswing times, you can move up to the next timing. When you find a timing that is comfortable, you can use it to achieve more consistent swings and performance. Analyzing Your Swing Tempo You must hit a ball to view your swing tempo. 1 Press START. 2 Select Tempo Training. 3 Press START. 4 Select Swing Speed, and select an option. 5 Complete a full swing, and hit the ball.

Jumpmaster WARNING The jumpmaster feature is for use by experienced skydivers only. The jumpmaster feature should not be used as a primary skydiving altimeter. Failure to input the appropriate jump related information can lead to serious personal injury or death. The jumpmaster feature follows military guidelines for calculating the high altitude release point (HARP). The watch detects automatically when you have jumped to begin navigating toward the desired impact point (DIP) using the barometer and electronic compass. Planning a Jump 1 Select a jump type (Jump Types, page28). 2 Enter the jump information (Entering Jump Information, page29). The device calculates the HARP. 3 Select Go To HARP to start navigation to the HARP. Jump Types The jumpmaster feature allows you to set the jump type to one of three types: HAHO, HALO, or Static. The jump type selected determines what additional setup information is required. For all jump types, drop altitudes and opening altitudes are measured in feet above ground level (AGL). HAHO: High Altitude High Opening. The jumpmaster jumps from a very high altitude and opens the parachute at a high altitude. You must set a DIP and a drop altitude of at least 1,000 feet. The drop altitude is assumed to be the same as the opening altitude. Common values for a drop altitude range from 12,000 to 24,000 feet AGL. HALO: High Altitude Low Opening. The jumpmaster jumps from a very high altitude and opens the parachute at a low altitude. The required information is the same as the HAHO jump type, plus an opening altitude. The opening altitude must not be greater than the drop altitude. Common values for an opening altitude range from 2,000 to 6,000 feet AGL. Static: The wind speed and direction are assumed to be constant for the duration of the jump. The drop altitude must be at least 1,000 feet. 28 Activities and Apps Entering Jump Information 1 Press START. 2 Select Jumpmaster. 3 Select a jump type (Jump Types, page28). 4 Complete one or more actions to enter your jump information:

Your epix device uses your FTP, the course elevation, and the projected time it will take you to complete the course to create a customized power guide. One of the most important steps in planning a successful power guide strategy is choosing your effort level. Putting a harder effort into the course will increase the power recommendations, while choosing an easier effort will reduce them (Creating and Using a Power Guide, page44). The primary goal of a power guide is to help you complete the course based on what is known about your ability, not to achieve a specific target time. You can adjust the effort level during your ride. Power guides are always associated with a course and cannot be used with workouts or segments. You can view and edit your strategy in the Garmin Connect app and sync it with compatible Garmin devices. This feature requires a power meter, which must be paired with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page80). Creating and Using a Power Guide Before you can create a power guide, you must pair a power meter with your watch (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page80).

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 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, page54). 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, page55). 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, page56). 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, page57). Functional threshold power (FTP): The watch uses your user profile information from the initial setup to estimate your FTP. For a more accurate rating, you can conduct a guided test (Getting Your FTP Estimate, page58). 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, page59). Stamina: The watch uses your VO2 max. estimate and heart rate data to provide real-time stamina estimates. It can be added as a data screen so you can view your potential and current stamina during your activity

(Viewing Your Real-Time Stamina, page60). 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, page60). Appearance 53 About VO2 Max. Estimates VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of athletic performance and should increase as your level of fitness improves. The epix device requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. The device has separate VO2 max. estimates for running and cycling. You must run either outside with GPS or ride with a compatible power meter at a moderate level of intensity for several minutes to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate. On the device, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number, description, and position on the color gauge. On your Garmin Connect account, you can view additional details about your VO2 max. estimate, such as where it ranks for your age and sex. Purple Blue Green Orange Red Superior Excellent Good Fair Poor VO2 max. data is provided by Firstbeat Analytics. VO2 max. analysis is provided with permission from The Cooper Institute.

Appearance 55 Heart Rate Variability Status Your watch analyzes your wrist heart rate readings while you are sleeping to determine your heart rate variability

(HRV). Training, physical activity, sleep, nutrition, and healthy habits all impact your heart rate variability. HRV values can vary widely based on gender, age, and fitness level. A balanced HRV status may indicate positive signs of health such as good training and recovery balance, greater cardiovascular fitness, and resilience to stress. An unbalanced or poor status may be a sign of fatigue, greater recovery needs, or increased stress. For best results, you should wear the watch while sleeping. The watch requires three weeks of consistent sleep data to display your heart rate variability status. Color Zone Status Description Green Balanced Your seven-day average HRV is within your baseline range. Orange Unbalanced Your seven-day average HRV is above or below your baseline range. Red No color Low Your seven-day average HRV is well below your baseline range. Poor No status Your HRV values are averaging well below the normal range for your age. No status means that there is insufficient data to generate a seven-day average. You can sync your watch with your Garmin Connect account to view your current heart rate variability status, trends, and educational feedback. Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level Stress level is the result of a three-minute test performed while standing still, where the epix device analyzes heart rate variability to determine your overall stress. Training, sleep, nutrition, and general life stress all impact how a runner performs. The stress level range is from 1 to 100, where 1 is a very low stress state and 100 is a very high stress state. Knowing your stress level can help you decide if your body is ready for a tough training run or yoga. 56 Appearance Viewing Your Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level This feature requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. Before you can view your heart rate variability (HRV) stress level, you must put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page80). TIP: Garmin recommends that you measure your stress level at approximately the same time and under the same conditions every day. 1 If necessary, press START, and select Add > HRV Stress to add the stress app to the apps list. 2 Select Yes to add the app to your list of favorites. 3 From the watch face, press START, select HRV Stress, and press START. 4 Stand still, and rest for 3 minutes. Performance Condition As you complete your activity, such as running or cycling, the performance condition feature analyzes your pace, heart rate, and heart rate variability to make a real-time assessment of your ability to perform compared to your average fitness level. It is approximately your real-time percentage deviation from your baseline VO2 max. estimate. Performance condition values range from -20 to +20. After the first 6 to 20 minutes of your activity, the device displays your performance condition score. For example, a score of +5 means that you are rested, fresh, and capable of a good run or ride. You can add performance condition as a data field to one of your training screens to monitor your ability throughout the activity. Performance condition can also be an indicator of fatigue level, especially at the end of a long training run or ride. NOTE: The device requires a few runs or rides with a heart rate monitor to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate and learn about your running or riding ability (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page54). 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, page31). 2 Go for a run or ride.

Select Decline to keep your current FTP. 58 Appearance Lactate Threshold Lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate (lactic acid) starts to accumulate in the bloodstream. In running, it is the estimated level of effort or pace. When a runner exceeds the threshold, fatigue starts to increase at an accelerating rate. For experienced runners, the threshold occurs at approximately 90% of their maximum heart rate and between 10k and half-marathon race pace. For average runners, the lactate threshold often occurs well below 90% of maximum heart rate. Knowing your lactate threshold can help you determine how hard to train or when to push yourself during a race. If you already know your lactate threshold heart rate value, you can enter it in your user profile settings (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page97). You can turn on the Auto Detection feature to automatically record your lactate threshold during an activity. Performing a Guided Test to Determine Your Lactate Threshold This feature requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. Before you can perform the guided test, you must put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page80). The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup and your VO2 max. estimate to estimate your lactate threshold. The device will automatically detect your lactate threshold during runs at a steady, high intensity with heart rate. TIP: The device requires a few runs with a chest heart rate monitor to get an accurate maximum heart rate value and VO2 max. estimate. If you are having trouble getting a lactate threshold estimate, try manually lowering your maximum heart rate value. 1 From the watch face, select START. 2 Select an outdoor running activity. GPS is required to complete the test. 3 Hold MENU. 4 Select Training > Lactate Threshold Guided Test. 5 Start the timer, and follow the on-screen instructions.

You can view your power curve for the previous month, three months, or twelve months. From the Garmin Connect app menu, select Performance Stats > Power Curve. 60 Appearance 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 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, page54). 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, page66). Acute load: Acute load is a weighted sum of your recent exercise load scores including exercise duration and intensity. (Acute Load, page62). Training load focus: Your watch analyzes and distributes your training load into different categories based on the intensity and structure of each activity recorded. Training load focus includes the total load accumulated per category, and the focus of the training. Your watch displays your load distribution over the last 4 weeks

(Training Load Focus, page63). Recovery time: The recovery time displays how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout (Recovery Time, page66). Appearance 61 Training Status Levels Training status shows you how your training affects your fitness level and performance. Your training status is based on changes to your VO2 max., acute load, and HRV status over an extended time period. You can use your training status to help plan future training and continue improving your fitness level. No Status: The watch needs you to record multiple activities over two weeks, with VO2 max. results from running or cycling, to determine your training status. Detraining: You have a break in your training routine or you are training much less than usual for a week or more. Detraining means that you are unable to maintain your fitness level. You can try increasing your training load to see improvement. Recovery: Your lighter training load is allowing your body to recover, which is essential during extended periods of hard training. You can return to a higher training load when you feel ready. Maintaining: Your current training load is enough to maintain your fitness level. To see improvement, try adding more variety to your workouts or increasing your training volume. Productive: Your current training load is moving your fitness level and performance in the right direction. You should plan recovery periods into your training to maintain your fitness level. Peaking: You are in ideal race condition. Your recently reduced training load is allowing your body to recover and fully compensate for earlier training. You should plan ahead, since this peak state can only be maintained for a short time. Overreaching: Your training load is very high and counterproductive. Your body needs a rest. You should give yourself time to recover by adding lighter training to your schedule. Unproductive: Your training load is at a good level, but your fitness is decreasing. Try focusing on rest, nutrition, and stress management. Strained: There is imbalance between your recovery and training load. It is a normal result after a hard training or major event. Your body may be struggling to recover, so you should pay attention to your overall health. Tips for Getting Your Training Status The training status feature depends on updated assessments of your fitness level, including at least one VO2 max. measurement per week. Your VO2 max. estimate is updated after outdoor runs or rides with power during which your heart rate reached at least 70% of your maximum heart rate for several minutes. Indoor run activities do not generate a VO2 max. estimate in order to preserve the accuracy of your fitness level trend. You can disable VO2 max. recording for ultra run and trail run activities if you do not want those run types to affect your VO2 max. estimate (Activities and App Settings, page32). To get the most out of the training status feature, you can try these tips. At least one time per week, run or ride outdoors with a power meter, and reach a heart rate higher than 70% of your maximum heart rate for at least 10 minutes. After using the watch for one week, your training status should be available. Record all of your fitness activities on your primary training device, allowing your watch to learn about your performance (Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements, page37). Wear the watch consistently while you sleep, to continue generating an up-to-date HRV status. Having a valid HRV status can help maintain a valid training status when you do not have as many activities with VO2 max. measurements. Acute Load Acute load is a weighted sum of your excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) for the last several days. The gauge indicates whether your current load is low, optimal, high, or very high. The optimal range is based on your individual fitness level and training history. The range adjusts as your training time and intensity increase or decrease. 62 Appearance Training Load Focus In order to maximize performance and fitness gains, training should be distributed across three categories: low aerobic, high aerobic, and anaerobic. Training load focus shows you how much of your training is currently in each category and provides training targets. Training load focus requires at least 7 days of training to determine if your training load is low, optimal, or high. After 4 weeks of training history, your training load estimate will have more detailed target information to help you balance your training activities. Below targets: Your training load is lower than optimal in all intensity categories. Try increasing the duration or frequency of your workouts. Low aerobic shortage: Try adding more low aerobic activities to provide recovery and balance for your higher intensity activities. High aerobic shortage: Try adding more high aerobic activities to help improve your lactate threshold and VO2 max. over time. Anaerobic shortage: Try adding a few more intense, anaerobic activities to improve your speed and anaerobic capacity over time. Balanced: Your training load is balanced and provides all-around fitness benefits as you continue training. Low aerobic focus: Your training load is mostly low aerobic activity. This provides a solid foundation and prepares you for adding more intense workouts. High aerobic focus: Your training load is mostly high aerobic activity. These activities help to improve lactate threshold, VO2 max., and endurance. Anaerobic focus: Your training load is mostly intense activity. This leads to rapid fitness gains, but should be balanced with low aerobic activities. Above targets: Your training load is higher than optimal, and you should consider scaling back the duration and frequency of your workouts. About Training Effect Training Effect measures the impact of an activity on your aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Training Effect accumulates during the activity. As the activity progresses, the Training Effect value increases. Training Effect is determined by your user profile information and training history, and heart rate, duration, and intensity of your activity. There are seven different Training Effect labels to describe the primary benefit of your activity. Each label is color coded and corresponds to your training load focus (Training Load Focus, page63). Each feedback phrase, for example, "Highly Impacting VO2 Max." has a corresponding description in your Garmin Connect activity details. Aerobic Training Effect uses your heart rate to measure how the accumulated intensity of an exercise affects your aerobic fitness and indicates if the workout had a maintaining or improving effect on your fitness level. Your excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) accumulated during exercise is mapped to a range of values that account for your fitness level and training habits. Steady workouts at moderate effort or workouts involving longer intervals (>180 sec) have a positive impact on your aerobic metabolism and result in an improved aerobic Training Effect. Anaerobic Training Effect uses heart rate and speed (or power) to determine how a workout affects your ability to perform at very high intensity. You receive a value based on the anaerobic contribution to EPOC and the type of activity. Repeated high-intensity intervals of 10 to 120 seconds have a highly beneficial impact on your anaerobic capability and result in an improved anaerobic Training Effect. You can add Aerobic Training Effect and Anaerobic Training Effect as data fields to one of your training screens to monitor your numbers throughout the activity. Appearance 63 Training Effect Aerobic Benefit Anaerobic Benefit From 0.0 to 0.9 No benefit. From 1.0 to 1.9 Minor benefit. No benefit. Minor benefit. From 2.0 to 2.9 Maintains your aerobic fitness. Maintains your anaerobic fitness. From 3.0 to 3.9 Impacts your aerobic fitness. Impacts your anaerobic fitness. From 4.0 to 4.9 Highly impacts your aerobic fitness. Highly impacts your anaerobic fitness. 5.0 Overreaching and potentially harmful without enough recovery time. Overreaching and potentially harmful without enough recovery time. Training Effect technology is provided and supported by Firstbeat Analytics. For more information, go to firstbeat.com. 64 Appearance Training Readiness Your training readiness is a score and a short message that helps you determine how ready you are for training each day. The score is continuously calculated and updated throughout the day using these factors:

Sleep score (last night) Recovery time HRV status Acute load Sleep history (last 3 nights) Stress history (last 3 days) Color Zone Purple Blue Green Orange Red Score 95 to 100 75 to 94 50 to 74 25 to 49 1 to 24 Description Prime Best possible High Ready for challenges Moderate Good to go Low Time to slow down Poor Let your body recover To see your training readiness trends over time, go to your Garmin Connect account. Appearance 65 Viewing Cycling Ability Before you can view your cycling ability, you must have a 7-day training history, VO2 max. data recorded in your user profile (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page54), and power curve data from a paired power meter (Viewing Your Power Curve, page60). Cycling ability is a measurement of your performance across three categories: aerobic endurance, aerobic capacity, and anaerobic capacity. Cycling ability includes your current rider type, such as climber. Information you enter in your user profile, such as body weight, also helps determine your rider type (Setting Up Your User Profile, page96). 1 Press UP or DOWN to view the cycling ability glance. NOTE: You may need to add the glance to your glance loop (Customizing the Glance Loop, page52). 2 Press START to view your current rider type. 3 Press START to view a detailed analysis of your cycling ability (optional). Recovery Time You can use your Garmin device with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout. NOTE: The recovery time recommendation uses your VO2 max. estimate and may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance. The recovery time appears immediately following an activity. The time counts down until it is optimal for you to attempt another hard workout. The device updates your recovery time throughout the day based on changes in sleep, stress, relaxation, and physical activity. Recovery Heart Rate If you are training with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor, you can check your recovery heart rate value after each activity. Recovery heart rate is the difference between your exercising heart rate and your heart rate two minutes after the exercise has stopped. For example, after a typical training run, you stop the timer. Your heart rate is 140bpm. After two minutes of no activity or cool down, your heart rate is 90 bpm. Your recovery heart rate is 50 bpm (140 minus 90). Some studies have linked recovery heart rate to cardiac health. Higher numbers generally indicate healthier hearts. TIP: For best results, you should stop moving for two minutes while the device calculates your recovery heart rate value. Heat and Altitude Performance Acclimation Environmental factors such as high temperature and altitude impact your training and performance. For example, high altitude training can have a positive impact on your fitness, but you may notice a temporary VO2 max. decline while exposed to high altitudes. Your epix watch provides acclimation notifications and corrections to your VO2 max. estimate and training status when the temperature is above 22C (72F) and when the altitude is above 800 m (2625 ft.). You can keep track of your heat and altitude acclimation in the training status glance. NOTE: The heat acclimation feature is available only for GPS activities and requires weather data from your connected phone. 66 Appearance Pausing and Resuming Your Training Status If you are injured or sick, you can pause your training status. You can continue to record fitness activities, but your training status, training load focus, recovery feedback, and workout recommendations are temporarily disabled. You can resume your training status when you are ready to start training again. For best results, you need at least one VO2 max. measurement each week (About VO2 Max.

HRM-Pro Running Pace and Distance The HRM-Pro series accessory calculates your running pace and distance based on your user profile and the motion measured by the sensor on every stride. The heart rate monitor provides running pace and distance when GPS is not available, such as during treadmill running. You can view your running pace and distance on your compatible epix watch when connected using ANT+ technology. You can also view it on compatible third-party training apps when connected using Bluetooth technology. The pace and distance accuracy improves with calibration. Automatic calibration: The default setting for your watch is Auto Calibrate. The HRM-Pro series accessory calibrates each time you run outside with it connected to your compatible epix watch. NOTE: Automatic calibration does not work for indoor, trail, or ultra run activity profiles (Tips for Recording Running Pace and Distance, page80). Manual calibration: You can select Calibrate & Save after a treadmill run with your connected HRM-Pro series accessory (Calibrating the Treadmill Distance, page7). Tips for Recording Running Pace and Distance Update your epix watch software (Product Updates, page116). Complete several outdoor runs with GPS and your connected HRM-Pro series accessory. It's important that your outdoor range of paces matches your range of paces on the treadmill. If your run includes sand or deep snow, go to the sensor settings, and turn off Auto Calibrate. If you previously connected a compatible foot pod using ANT+ technology, set the foot pod status to Off, or remove it from the list of connected sensors. Complete a treadmill run with manual calibration (Calibrating the Treadmill Distance, page7). If automatic and manual calibrations don't seem accurate, go to the sensor settings, and select HRM Pace &

Distance > Reset Calibration Data. NOTE: You can try turning off Auto Calibrate, and then manually calibrate again (Calibrating the Treadmill Distance, page7). 80 Sensors and Accessories Running Dynamics You can use your compatible epix device paired with the HRM-Pro accessory or other running dynamics accessory to provide real-time feedback about your running form. The running dynamics accessory has an accelerometer that measures torso movement in order to calculate six running metrics. For more information, go to garmin.com/performance-data/running. Cadence: Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It displays the total steps (right and left combined). Vertical oscillation: Vertical oscillation is your bounce while running. It displays the vertical motion of your torso, measured in centimeters. Ground contact time: Ground contact time is the amount of time in each step that you spend on the ground while running. It is measured in milliseconds. NOTE: Ground contact time and balance are not available while walking. Ground contact time balance: Ground contact time balance displays the left/right balance of your ground contact time while running. It displays a percentage. For example, 53.2 with an arrow pointing left or right. Stride length: Stride length is the length of your stride from one footfall to the next. It is measured in meters. Vertical ratio: Vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical oscillation to stride length. It displays a percentage. A lower number typically indicates better running form. Training with Running Dynamics Before you can view running dynamics, you must put on a running dynamics accessory, such as the HRM-Pro accessory, and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page80). 1 Hold MENU. 2 Select Activities & Apps. 3 Select an activity. 4 Select the activity settings. 5 Select Data Screens > Add New. 6 Select a running dynamics data screen.

Accessories with running dynamics have on the front of the module. Pair the running dynamics accessory with your watch again, according to the instructions. If you are using the HRM-Pro accessory, pair it with your watch using ANT+ technology, rather than Bluetooth technology. If the running dynamics data display shows only zeros, make sure the accessory is worn right-side up. NOTE: Ground contact time and balance appears only while running. It is not calculated while walking. Sensors and Accessories 81 Running Power Garmin running power is calculated using measured running dynamics information, user mass, environmental data, and other sensor data. The power measurement estimates the amount of power a runner applies to the road surface, and it is displayed in watts. Using running power as a gauge of effort may suit some runners better than using either pace or heart rate. Running power can be more responsive than heart rate for indicating the level of effort, and it can account for the uphills, downhills, and wind, which a pace measurement does not do. For more information, go to garmin.com/performance-data/running. Running power can be measured using a compatible running dynamics accessory or the watch sensors. You can customize the running power data fields to view your power output and make adjustments to your training

(Data Fields, page121). You can set up power alerts to be notified when you reach a specified power zone

(Activity Alerts, page34). Running power zones are similar to cycling power zones. The values for the zones are default values based on gender, weight, and average ability, and may not match your personal abilities. You can manually adjust your zones on the watch or using your Garmin Connect account (Setting Your Power Zones, page98). Running Power Settings Hold MENU, select Activities & Apps, select a running activity, and select the activity settings. Status: Enables or disables recording Garmin running power data. You can use this setting if you prefer to use third-party running power data. Source: Allows you to select which device to use to record running power data. The Smart Mode option automatically detects and uses the running dynamics accessory, when available. The watch uses wrist-based running power data when an accessory is not connected. Account for Wind: Enables or disables using wind data when calculating your running power. Wind data is a combination of the speed, heading, and barometer data from your watch and the available wind data from your phone.

About Heart Rate Zones 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. 96 User Profile Fitness Goals 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. If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page98) to determine the best heart rate 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. Setting Your Heart Rate Zones The watch uses your user profile information from the initial setup to determine your default heart rate zones. You can set separate heart rate zones for sport profiles, such as running, cycling, and swimming. 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 watch or using your Garmin Connect account. 1 Hold MENU. 2 Select User Profile > Heart Rate & Power Zones > Heart Rate. 3 Select Max.

You can display cadence, vertical oscillation, ground contact time, ground contact time balance, or vertical ratio as the primary metric. The color gauge shows you how your running dynamics data compare to those of other runners. The color zones are based on percentiles. Garmin has researched many runners of all different levels. The data values in the red or orange zones are typical for less experienced or slower runners. The data values in the green, blue, or purple zones are typical for more experienced or faster runners. More experienced runners tend to exhibit shorter ground contact times, lower vertical oscillation, lower vertical ratio, and higher cadence than less experienced runners. However, taller runners typically have slightly slower cadences, longer strides, and slightly higher vertical oscillation. Vertical ratio is your vertical oscillation divided by stride length. It is not correlated with height. Go to garmin.com/runningdynamics for more information on running dynamics. For additional theories and interpretations of running dynamics data, you can search reputable running publications and websites.

For example, 51.3% with an arrow pointing left indicates the runner is spending more time on the ground when on the left foot. If your data screen displays both numbers, for example 4852, 48% is the left foot and 52% is the right foot. Color Zone Symmetry Poor Percent of Other Runners 5%

For many runners, ground contact time balance tends to deviate further from 5050 when running up or down hills. Most running coaches agree that a symmetrical running form is good. Elite runners tend to have quick and balanced strides. You can watch the gauge or data field during your run or view the summary on your Garmin Connect account after your run. As with the other running dynamics data, ground contact time balance is a quantitative measurement to help you learn about your running form. Appendix 135 Vertical Oscillation and Vertical Ratio Data The data ranges for vertical oscillation and vertical ratio are slightly different depending on the sensor and whether it is positioned at the chest (HRM-Pro, HRM-Run, or HRM-Tri accessories) or at the waist (Running Dynamics Pod accessory).
