    PACEPRO TECHNOLOGY

    To help you plan your race day strategy, this feature offers GPS-based pace guidance for a selected course or distance in the Garmin Connect app. So you can tailor your efforts to what’s ahead.

    FINISH TIME

    Want some guidance to help you meet your goal? Select a distance for your run, and you’ll be able to see a data screen that shows your estimated finish time.

    TRACK RUN

    When you’re ready to hit the track for some speedwork, use the built-in track run activity to record accurate lap distances and see your distances in meters.

    CADENCE ALERTS

    Want to improve your running form? Use the cadence alerts to know when you’ve gone outside your target cadence range.

    RECOVERY ADVISOR

    Giving your body time to recover between training sessions is crucial. After each workout, the built-in recovery time feature will let you know how long to rest before another big effort.
