Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Running
This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest
heart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your device (
Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 83 ). If
your Descent Mk1 device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired.
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (
Setting Up Your User Profile, page 50 ), and
set your maximum heart rate ( Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 51 ). The estimate may seem inaccurate at
first. The device requires a few runs to learn about your running performance.
1 Run for at least 10 minutes outdoors.
2 After your run, select Save.
3 Select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget.
4 Select to scroll through the performance measurements.
Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling
This feature requires a power meter and wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. The
power meter must be paired with your Descent Mk1 device (
Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 83 ). If you are
using a chest heart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your device. If your Descent Mk1 device was
packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired.
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (
Setting Up Your User Profile, page 50 ) and set
your maximum heart rate ( Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 51 ). The estimate may seem inaccurate at first.
The device requires a few rides to learn about your cycling performance.
1 Ride at a steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes.
2 After your ride, select Save.
3 Select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget.
4 Select to scroll through the performance measurements.
Recovery Time
You can use your Garmin device with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display
how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout.
NOTE: The recovery time recommendation uses your VO2 max. estimate and may seem inaccurate at first. The
device requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance.
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
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup ( Setting Up Your User Profile, page 50 ), and
set your maximum heart rate ( Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 51 ).
1 Go for a run.
2 After your run, select Save.
The recovery time appears. The maximum time is 4 days.
NOTE: From the watch face, you can select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget, and select to
scroll through the performance measurements to view your recovery time.
Recovery Heart Rate
If you are training with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor, you can check your
recovery heart rate value after each activity. Recovery heart rate is the difference between your exercising heart
rate and your heart rate two minutes after the exercise has stopped. For example, after a typical training run,
you stop the timer. Your heart rate is 140 bpm. After two minutes of no activity or cool down, your heart rate is
90 bpm. Your recovery heart rate is 50 bpm (140 minus 90). Some studies have linked recovery heart rate to
cardiac health. Higher numbers generally indicate healthier hearts.
TIP: For best results, you should stop moving for two minutes while the device calculates your recovery heart
rate value.
