About Training Effect
Training Effect measures the impact of an activity on your
aerobic fitness. Training Effect accumulates during the activity.
As the activity progresses, the training effect value increases,
telling you how the activity has improved your fitness. Training
Effect is determined by your user profile information, heart rate,
duration, and intensity of your activity.
It is important to know that your Training Effect numbers (1.0–
5.0) may seem abnormally high during your first few runs. It
takes several activities for the device to learn your aerobic
fitness.
Training Effect Description
1.0–1.9
Helps recovery (short activities). Improves endurance
with longer activities (more than 40 minutes).
2.0–2.9

3.0–3.9

your weekly training program.
4.0–4.9

times per week with adequate recovery time.
