Advanced performance analysis

What training load is best for you? Forerunner 265 can offer personalized training and recovery after their intelligent training solutions, so you can better prepare for the upcoming competition. It stores VO2 max data and takes into account how heat and altitude affect your performance. The higher your VO2 max value, the more productive you are, which is exactly what the performance status metric shows. Training status evaluates your recent training history and performance metrics to see how you trained, productively, under- or over-training. See how your training affects endurance, speed and power development with aerobic and anaerobic training effects. Recovery time helps you get the most out of your efforts by predicting when you’ll be ready for the next tough challenge. You can even view your overall training load, which measures your training load from the last 7 days and compares it to the optimal range for fitness and recent training history.
