Smart notifications are blocked when Strava Live Segment view is active on your M460. If you wish to receive smart noti-
fications for example during a longer segment, you can enable them by changing the training view.

SPEED AND POWER ZONES

With the speed and power zones you can easily monitor speed or power during your session, and adjust your speed or power
to achieve the targeted training effect. The zones can be used to guide the efficiency of your training during sessions, and
help you mix different training intensities for optimal results.

SETTINGS

The speed and power zone settings can be adjusted in the Flow web service. They can be turned on or off in the sport pro-
files they are available in. There are five different zones, and the zone limits can be manually adjusted or you can use the
default ones. They are sport specific, allowing you to adjust the zones to best suit each sport. The zones are available in run-
ning sports (including team sports that involve running), cycling sports as well as rowing and canoeing.
Default
If you choose Default, you cannot change the limits. The default zones are optimized for a person with a relatively high fit-
ness level.
Free
If you choose Free, all limits can be changed. For example, if you have tested your actual thresholds, such as the anaerobic
and aerobic thresholds, or the upper and lower lactate thresholds, you can train with the zones based on your individual
threshold speed or pace. We recommend that you set your anaerobic threshold speed and pace as the minimum for zone 5.
If you also use the aerobic threshold, set that as the minimum of zone 3.

TRAINING TARGET WITH SPEED AND POWER ZONES

You can create training targets based on speed and power zones. After synchronizing the targets via FlowSync, you'll
receive guidance from your training device during training.

DURING TRAINING

During your training you can view which zone you are currently training in and the time spent in each zone.

AFTER TRAINING

In the training summary on M460, you'll see an overview of the time spent in each speed or power zone. After syncing,
detailed visual speed or power zone information can be viewed in the Flow web service.

SPORT PROFILES

Lets you list all your favorite sports and define specific settings for each one of them. For example, you can create tailored
views for each sport you do and choose what data you want to see when you train: just your heart rate or just speed and dis-
tance – whatever suits you and your training needs and requirements best.
