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 fēnix 5X device requires wrist-
based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to
display your VO2 max. estimate.
Your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and position on
the color gauge.

(VO2 Max. Standard Ratings, page 31), and go to

Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Running
This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible
chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest heart rate
monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your device (Pairing
ANT+ Sensors, page 25). If your fēnix 5X device was
packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already
paired.
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup
(Setting Up Your User Profile, page 10), and set your
maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones,
page 10). The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The
device requires a few runs to learn about your running
performance.
1
Run for at least 10 minutes outdoors.
2
After your run, select Save.
3
Select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget.
4
Select to scroll through the performance measurements.
Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling
This feature requires a power meter and wrist-based heart rate
or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. The power meter must
be paired with your fēnix 5X device (Pairing ANT+ Sensors,
page 25). If you are using a chest heart rate monitor, you must
put it on and pair it with your device. If your fēnix 5X device was
packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already
paired.
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup
(Setting Up Your User Profile, page 10) and set your
maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones,
page 10). The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The
device requires a few rides to learn about your cycling
performance.
1
Ride at a steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes.
2
After your ride, select Save.
3
Select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget.
4
Select to scroll through the performance measurements.
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.
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.
Viewing Your Recovery Time
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup
(Setting Up Your User Profile, page 10), and set your
maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones,
page 10).
1
Go for a run.
After 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears
(Viewing Your Performance Condition, page 9).
2
After your run, select Save.
The recovery time appears. The maximum time is 4 days.
NOTE: From the watch face, you can select UP or DOWN to
view the performance widget, and select to scroll through
the performance measurements to view your recovery time.
Training Load
Training load is a measurement of your training volume over the
last seven days. It is the sum of your EPOC measurements for
the last seven days. The gauge indicates whether your current
load is low, high, or within the optimal range to maintain or
improve your fitness level. The optimal range is determined
based on your individual fitness level and training history. The
range adjusts as your training time and intensity increase or
decrease.
Viewing Your Predicted Race Times
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup
(Setting Up Your User Profile, page 10), and set your
maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones,
page 10).
Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate (About VO2 Max.
Estimates, page 8) 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
Select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget.
2
Select to scroll through the performance measurements.
Your projected race times appear for 5K, 10K, half marathon,
and marathon distances.
Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level
Stress level is the result of a three-minute test performed while
standing still, where the fēnix 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.
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 ANT+ Sensors, page 25). If your fēnix 5X device was
packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already
paired.
