weeks of your training data to refine the race time 

estimates.

TIP:

 If you have more than one Garmin device, you 

can enable the Physio TrueUp™ feature, which allows 

your device to sync activities, history, and data from 

other devices (

Syncing Activities and Performance 

Measurements, page 20

).

From the watch face, select 

UP

 or 

DOWN

 to view 

the performance widget.

Select 

 to scroll through the performance 

measurements.
Your projected race times appear for 5K, 10K, half 

marathon, and marathon distances.

NOTE:

 The projections may seem inaccurate at 

first. The device requires a few runs to learn about 

your running performance.

About Training Effect

Training Effect measures the impact of an activity on 

your aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Training Effect 

accumulates during the activity. As the activity 

progresses, the Training Effect value increases. 

Training Effect is determined by your user profile 

information and training history, and heart rate, 

duration, and intensity of your activity. There are seven 

different Training Effect labels to describe the primary 

benefit of your activity. Each label is color coded and 

corresponds to your training load focus (

Training Load 

Focus, page 24

). Each feedback phrase, for example, 

“Highly Impacting VO2 Max.” has a corresponding 

description in your Garmin Connect activity details.

Aerobic Training Effect uses your heart rate to 

measure how the accumulated intensity of an exercise 

affects your aerobic fitness and indicates if the 

workout had a maintaining or improving effect on 

your fitness level. Your excess post-exercise oxygen 

consumption (EPOC) accumulated during exercise 

is mapped to a range of values that account for your 

fitness level and training habits. Steady workouts at 

moderate effort or workouts involving longer intervals 

(>180 sec) have a positive impact on your aerobic 

metabolism and result in an improved aerobic Training 

Effect.
Anaerobic Training Effect uses heart rate and speed 

(or power) to determine how a workout affects your 

ability to perform at very high intensity. You receive 

a value based on the anaerobic contribution to EPOC 

and the type of activity. Repeated high- intensity 

intervals of 10 to 120 seconds have a highly beneficial 

impact on your anaerobic capability and result in an 

improved anaerobic Training Effect.
You can add Aerobic Training Effect and Anaerobic 

Training Effect as data fields to one of your training 

screens to monitor your numbers throughout the 

activity.

Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level

Stress level is the result of a three-minute test 

performed while standing still, where the fēnix device 

analyzes heart rate variability to determine your overall 

stress. Training, sleep, nutrition, and general life stress 

all impact how a runner performs. The stress level 

range is from 1 to 100, where 1 is a very low stress 

state and 100 is a very high stress state. Knowing your 

stress level can help you decide if your body is ready 

for a tough training run or yoga.

Viewing Your Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level

This feature requires a Garmin chest heart rate 

monitor. Before you can view your heart rate variability 

(HRV) stress level, you must put on a heart rate 

monitor and pair it with your device (

Pairing Your 

Wireless Sensors, page 47

).

TIP:

 Garmin recommends that you measure your 

stress level at approximately the same time and under 

the same conditions every day.

If necessary, select 

 > 

Add

 > 

HRV Stress 

to add 

the stress app to the apps list.

Select 

Yes

 to add the app to your list of favorites.

From the watch face, select 

 > 

HRV Stress

 >  .

Stand still, and rest for 3 minutes.

Performance Condition

As you complete your activity, such as running or 

cycling, the performance condition feature analyzes 

your pace, heart rate, and heart rate variability to 

make a real-time assessment of your ability to 

perform compared to your average fitness level. It is 

approximately your real-time percentage deviation 

from your baseline VO2 max. estimate.
Performance condition values range from -20 to +20. 

After the first 6 to 20 minutes of your activity, the
