Viewing Your Predicted Race Times

Before you can view your projected race times (running only), 

you must put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device. 

For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup 

(

Setting Up Your User Profile

), and set your maximum heart rate 

(

Setting Your Heart Rate Zones

). 

Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate (

About VO2 Max. 

Estimates

) 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

Put on your heart rate monitor, and go for a run.

2

Hold 

UP

 > 

Race Predictor

.

Your projected race times appear for 5K, 10K, half marathon, 

and marathon distances.

Recovery Advisor

You can use your Garmin device paired with the heart rate 

monitor to display how much time remains before you are fully 

recovered and ready for the next hard workout. The recovery 

advisor feature includes recovery time and recovery check. 

Recovery advisor technology is provided and supported by 

Firstbeat Technologies Ltd.

Recovery check

: The recovery check provides a real-time 

indication of your state of recovery within the first several 

minutes of an activity.

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.

Turning On the Recovery Advisor

Before you can use the recovery advisor feature, you must put 

on the heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (

Pairing 

ANT+ Sensors

). If your fēnix 3 was packaged with a heart rate 

monitor, the devices are already paired. For the most accurate 

estimate, you must complete the user profile setup (

Setting Up 

Your User Profile

), and set your maximum heart rate (

Your Heart Rate Zones

).

About Training Effect

Training Effect measures the impact of an activity on your 

aerobic fitness. Training Effect accumulates during the activity. 

As the activity progresses, the training effect value increases, 

telling you how the activity has improved your fitness. Training 

Effect is determined by your user profile information, heart rate, 

duration, and intensity of your activity.
It is important to know that your Training Effect numbers (1.0–

5.0) may seem abnormally high during your first few runs. It 

takes several activities for the device to learn your aerobic 

fitness.

Training Effect Description

1.0–1.9

Helps recovery (short activities). Improves endurance 
with longer activities (more than 40 minutes).

2.0–2.9

Maintains your aerobic fitness.

3.0–3.9

Improves your aerobic fitness if repeated as part of 
your weekly training program.

4.0–4.9

Highly improves your aerobic fitness if repeated 1–2 
times per week with adequate recovery time.

5.0

Causes temporary overload with high improvement. 
Train up to this number with extreme care. Requires 
additional recovery days.

Firstbeat Technologies Ltd. For more information, go to
