Viewing Your Training Performance Condition

You can use your watch to measure your heart rate, running speed, and altitude, and display your cardio load status.

Important!

To measure your cardio load status, you need to measure your heart rate and set up your profile.

Using Heart Rate Measurement
Creating Your Profile

Activities with POOL SWIMMING and OPEN WATER SWIMMING are not reflected in your cardio load status.

If the heart rate measurement setting is turned off for activities other than POOL SWIMMING and OPEN WATER SWIMMING, your activities are not reflected in your cardio load status.

Viewing Your Cardio Load Status

The cardio load status compares your load (STRAIN) with your endurance (TOLERANCE) to see how your training is affecting your body. You can control your total training volume in the short and long term by checking your cardio load status.

[DETRAINING]

< 0.8
Training at a load that is less than recommended has continued for one week or longer, which is affecting your fitness level. Correct by increasing your training load.

[MAINTAINING]

The displayed value is calculated by dividing the strain by the tolerance.
