ANT+ Sensors

rate zones are calculated based on

percentages of your maximum heart rate.

Fitness goals

Knowing your heart rate zones can help

you measure and improve your fitness

by understanding and applying these

principles.
• Your heart rate is a good measure of

exercise intensity.

• Training in certain heart rate zones

can help you improve cardiovascular

capacity and strength.

• Knowing your heart rate zones can

prevent you from overtraining and can

decrease your risk of injury.

If you know your maximum heart rate, you

can use the table (

page 49

) to determine

the best heart rate zone for your fitness

objectives.
If you do not know your maximum heart

rate, use one of the calculators available

on the Internet. Some gyms and health

centers can provide a test that measures

maximum heart rate.

Foot Pod

Your Forerunner is compatible with the

foot pod. You can use the foot pod to send

data to your Forerunner when training

indoors, when your GPS signal is weak, or

when you lose satellite signals. The foot

pod is on standby and ready to send data

as soon as you install it or start moving.

You must pair the foot pod with your

Forerunner (

page 22

).

When the battery is low, a message

appears on your Forerunner.

Approximately five hours of battery life

remain.

Choosing Your Speed Source

If you plan to train outdoors, you can set

the Forerunner to use foot pod data to

calculate pace rather than using GPS.
