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.
Getting Your FTP Estimate
Before you can get your functional threshold power (FTP)
estimate, you must pair a chest heart rate monitor and power
meter with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors,
page 40), and you must get your VO2 max. estimate (Getting
Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling, page 18).
The device uses your user profile information from the initial
setup and your VO2 max. estimate to estimate your FTP. The
device will automatically detect your FTP during rides at a
steady, high intensity with heart rate and power.

measurements.
Your FTP estimate appears as a value measured in watts per

NOTE: When a performance notification alerts you to a new
FTP, you can select Accept to save the new FTP, or Decline
to keep your current FTP.
Conducting an FTP Test
Before you can conduct a test to determine your functional
threshold power (FTP), you must pair a chest heart rate monitor
and a power meter with your device (Pairing Your Wireless
Sensors, page 40), and you must get your VO2 max. estimate
(Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling, page 18).
NOTE: The FTP test is a challenging workout that takes about
30 minutes to complete. Choose a practical and mostly flat route
that allows you to ride at a steadily increasing effort, similar to a
time trial.

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. For
more information, go to www.garmin.com/runningdynamics.
NOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The device
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 training load and VO2 max. 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. Your device displays
heat and altitude corrected VO2 max. values when you are
acclimating to high heat environemnts or high altitude.
Training load: Training load is the sum of your excess post-
exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) over the last 7 days.
EPOC is an estimate of how much energy it takes for your
body to recover after exercise.
Training load focus: Your device 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 device displays your load
distribution over the last 4 weeks.
Recovery time: The recovery time displays how much time
remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next
hard workout.
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 training load and VO2 max. over an extended time
period. You can use your training status to help plan future
training and continue improving your fitness level.
Peaking: Peaking means that 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.
