Indoor Activities
The Forerunner device can be used for training indoors, such as running on an indoor track or using a stationary
bike. GPS is turned off for indoor activities.
When running or walking with GPS turned off, speed, distance, and cadence are calculated using the
accelerometer in the device. The accelerometer is self-calibrating. The accuracy of the speed, distance, and
cadence data improves after a few outdoor runs or walks using GPS.
TIP: Holding the handrails of the treadmill reduces accuracy. You can use an optional foot pod to record pace,
distance, and cadence.
When cycling with GPS turned off, speed and distance data are not available unless you have an optional
sensor that sends speed and distance data to the device, such as a speed or cadence sensor.
Going for a Virtual Run
You can pair your Forerunner device with a compatible third-party app to transmit pace, heart rate, or cadence
data.
1Select START > Virtual Run.
2On your tablet, laptop, or smartphone, open the Zwift app or another virtual training app.
3Follow the on-screen instructions to start a running activity and pair the devices.
4Select START to start the activity timer.
5After you complete your run, select STOP to stop the activity timer.
