RACE PREDICTOR

This specialized tool takes into account your fitness level and training history to help you work toward your race goal and see the impact of training on your predicted finish time.

PERFORMANCE CONDITION

While you run, Forerunner 745 analyzes pace, heart rate2, and heart rate variability for a real-time assessment of your current ability to perform.

TRAINING LOAD

This stat measures your exercise volume from the last 7 days and compares it to the optimal range for your fitness and recent training history.
