Viewing Your Heart Rate Variability Stress Score
Before you can perform the heart rate variability (HRV) stress
test, you must put on a Garmin chest heart rate monitor and pair
it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 20).
Your HRV stress score is the result of a three-minute test
performed while standing still, where the Forerunner device
analyzes heart rate variability to determine your overall stress.
Training, sleep, nutrition, and general life stress all impact how
you perform. The stress score range is 1 to 100, where 1 is a
very low stress state, and 100 is a very high stress state.
Knowing your stress score can help you decide if your body is
ready for a tough training run or yoga.
TIP: Garmin recommends that you measure your stress score
before you exercise, at approximately the same time, and under
the same conditions every day. You can view previous results
on your Garmin Connect account.
1
Select START > DOWN > HRV Stress > START.
2
Follow the onscreen instructions.
Performance Condition
As you perform a running activity, 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. 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.
NOTE: The device requires a few runs with a heart rate monitor
to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate and learn about your
running ability (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 12).
Viewing Your Performance Condition
This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible
chest heart rate monitor.
1
Add Perform. Cond. to a data screen (Customizing the Data
Screens, page 21).
2
Go for a run or ride.
After 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears.
3
Scroll to the data screen to view your performance condition
throughout the run or ride.
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, page 7).
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, page 20).
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 UP.
4
Select Training > Lactate Threshold Guided Test.
5
Start the timer, and follow the on-screen instructions.
After you begin your run, the device displays each step
duration, the target, and current heart rate data. A message
appears when the test is complete.
6
After you complete the guided test, stop the timer and save
the activity.
If this is your first lactate threshold estimate, the device
prompts you to update your heart rate zones based on your
lactate threshold heart rate. For each additional lactate
threshold estimate, the device prompts you to accept or
decline the estimate.
