There’s a lot to learn from the data your FR265 tracks. To monitor your progression, here are the main stats you need to watch and what they tell you:
1 Training Readiness
2 Acute Training Load
3 VO2 Max
4 Sleep Score
5 HVR (Heart Rate)
+ Extra: Running Power

Hi I’m Elena Bolton sports shoes athlete and international distance Runner I have been wearing the Garmin 4Runner since I first started running and was struggling to break 1990 minutes for the 5K all the way up to representing Great Britain in the 10,000 MERS and cross country today I’m going
To be talking about how I have used the Garmin 4Runner 265 to progress as an athlete 6 months ago I was just back from an injury instantly I tried to get back into training it was really frustrating cuz I just didn’t feel like I was getting anywhere so the training
Status feature on the 4Runner 265 has been a really good way of seeing the Peaks and troughs in my training as I’ve progressed when I paid attention to that data and actually took a step back started to take my runs a bit easier really focus on recovery my watch
Started to tell me that I was actually starting to maintain and I was getting much fitter so if you want to track your progress as an athlete here are my top five stats that I like to keep an eye on number one is the acute training load so
That is really important when it comes to preventing injury you don’t want to overload the body which can result in stress fractures or just general injury your V2 Max is the maximum amount of oxygen you can consume per minute per kilogram body weight it’s been really
Nice to show how I have improved as an athlete in terms of cardiovasc muscular fitness so it’s a really interesting startat to look at and when you’re working towards your Peak Performance when it comes to performing at the highest level it’s important to take into account metrics outside of running
The Garmin 4Runner 265 has a 2 247 tracking system which means that it can take into account your stress and also your sleep and the quality of your sleep these are two metrics that I really like to keep an eye on and have an effect on my training readiness and my recovery
Another really interesting statistic on the 4A 265 is the HRV or heart rate variability so this is looking at your autonomic nervous system and how well it’s reacting to the environment both physiologically and psychologically so it looks at the time between heartbeats this can reflect how well you’re recovering it looks at your
Cardiovascular fitness and your resilience to stress if your hat is unbalanced it can often mean that you’re feeling fatigued so maybe you need to take a bit more rest if your heart rate variability is remaining in that balance section it often means that your Fitness is improving really nicely you’re
Getting your recovery right and you just need to keep going as you are and probably the races coming are going to go really well another really unique feature is the running power so this is a wrist-based metric and it’s very similar to when you are on a w bike and
It tells you your power output so this takes into account your stride lengths your Cadence and how far you moving with each stride and it shows you how powerful you are so often my running power is much greater when I’m doing a session or a tempo run because I am
Moving much further with each stride whereas if I’m doing an easy run and I’m very much plooding along and taking it easy and trying to recover my power is much less when it comes to the accuracy of the data on the forigner 265 I think it’s really important to remember how
Personalized and individual these data points are and it actually takes quite a bit of time for the Forerunner to learn about you and for the data points to be accurate so when I initially got my watch and I was looking at the training status and the race predictions I
Wouldn’t say there were an exact representation of where I was at but slowly as it gets to know me more it like kind of gets data on my sessions it becomes much more accurate and a much better representation of me as an athlete
