calculate performance measurements. Performance
measurements require a compatible heart rate monitor or power
meter.
Setting Up Your User Profile
You can update your gender, age, weight, height, and maximum
heart rate settings. The device uses this information to calculate
accurate ride data.
1Hold .
2Select My Stats > User Profile.
3Select an option.
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. VO2 max. estimates are provided and
supported by Firstbeat. You can use your Garmin device paired
with a compatible heart rate monitor and power meter to display
your cycling VO2 max. estimate.
Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate
Before you can view your VO2 max. estimate, you must put on
the heart rate monitor, install the power meter, and pair them
with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 9). If
your device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the device
and sensor are already paired. For the most accurate estimate,
complete the user profile setup, and set your maximum heart
rate (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 5).
NOTE: The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device
requires a few rides to learn about your cycling performance.
1Ride at a steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes
outdoors.
2After your ride, select Save Ride.
3Hold .
4Select My Stats > VO2 Max.
Your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number and position
on the gauge.
VO2 max. data and analysis is provided with permission from
The Cooper Institute®. For more information, see the
appendix (VO2 Max. Standard Ratings, page 15), and go to
www.CooperInstitute.org.
Tips for Cycling VO2 Max. Estimates
The success and accuracy of the VO2 max. calculation
improves when your ride is a sustained and moderately hard
effort, and where heart rate and power are not highly variable.
• Before your ride, check that your device, heart rate monitor,
and power meter are functioning properly, paired, and have
good battery life.
• During your 20 minute ride, maintain your heart rate at
greater than 70% of your maximum heart rate.
• During your 20 minute ride, maintain a fairly constant power
output.
• Avoid rolling terrain.
• Avoid riding in groups where there is a lot of drafting.
Recovery Advisor
You can use your Garmin device with a 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
Before you can use the recovery time feature, you must put on
the heart rate monitor, and pair it with your device (Pairing Your
Wireless Sensors, page 9). If your device was packaged with
a heart rate monitor, the device and sensor are already paired.
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup,
and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Up Your User Profile,
page 5).
1Hold .
2Select My Stats > Recovery Advisor.
3Go for a ride.
4After your ride, select Save Ride.

personal records you achieved during that ride. Personal
records include your fastest time over a standard distance,
longest ride, and most ascent gained during a ride. When paired
with a compatible power meter, the device displays the
maximum power reading recorded during a 20-minute period.

Courses
Following a previously recorded activity: You can follow a
saved course simply because it is a good route. For example,
you can save and follow a bike friendly commute to work.
Racing against a previously recorded activity: You can also
follow a saved course, trying to match or exceed previously
set performance goals. For example, if the original course
was completed in 30 minutes, you can race against a Virtual
Partner® trying to complete the course in under 30 minutes.
Following an existing ride from Garmin Connect: You can
send a course from Garmin Connect to your device. Once it
is saved to your device, you can follow the course or race
against the course.
