Power Guide
You can create and use a power strategy to plan your effort on a course. Your Forerunner device uses your
FTP, the course elevation, and the projected time it will take you to complete the course to create a customized
power guide.
One of the most important steps in planning a successful power guide strategy is choosing your effort level.
Putting a harder effort into the course will increase the power recommendations, while choosing an easier effort
will reduce them (
Creating and Using a Power Guide, page 59
). The primary goal of a power guide is to help you
complete the course based on what is known about your ability, not to achieve a specific target time. You can
adjust the effort level during your ride.
Power guides are always associated with a course and cannot be used with workouts or segments. You can
view and edit your strategy in the Garmin Connect app and sync it with compatible Garmin devices. This feature
requires a power meter, which must be paired with your device (
Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 78
).
