Turning On the Recovery Advisor

Before you can use the recovery advisor feature, you must put on the heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing Your ANT‍+ Sensors). If your Forerunner® was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones).

  1. Select > My Stats > Recovery Advisor > Status > On.
  2. Go for a run.

    Within the first several minutes of your run, a recovery check appears, showing your real-time state of recovery.

  3. After your run, select Save.

    The recovery time appears. The maximum time is 4 days, and the minimum time is 6 hours.
