Advanced performance analysis
Which scope of training is right for you? The Forerunner 245 Music provides personalized training and recovery information to help you make smarter training decisions and prepare for your next race. It monitors your VO2 max and understands how heat and altitude affect your performance. The higher your VO2 max, the higher your performance, and that is exactly what the performance condition metric shows. The training status evaluates your current training history and performance indicators to inform you whether you are training productively, reaching peak values or overwhelming. See how your training affects endurance, speed, and strength development with aerobic and anaerobic training effect feedback. Recovery time helps you maximize the value of your efforts by predicting when you will be ready for your next challenge. You can display your total training load, which measures your training volume over the last 7 days and compares it with the optimal range for your fitness and the current training course.
