Running Index
Running Index offers an easy way to monitor running performance changes. A
running index value is an estimate of maximal aerobic running performance,
which is influenced by aerobic fitness and running economy. By recording
your Running Index over time, you can monitor progress. Improvement
means that running at a given pace requires less of an effort, or that your
pace is faster at a given level of exertion.
In V800, Running Index takes the effect of uphills and downhills into account.
At a given pace, running uphill is physiologically more stressful than running
on a level surface, and running downhill is physiologically less stressful than
running on a level surface.

Running Index is calculated during every training session when heart rate and
the GPS function is on / Stride Sensor Bluetooth® Smart is in use, and when
the following requirements apply:
Sport profile used is a running type sport (Running, Road Running, Trail

To receive the most accurate information on your performance, make sure
you have set your HR
recording the session. During a session, you may stop twice at traffic lights,
for example, without interrupting the calculation. After your session, V800
displays a Running Index value and stores the result in the training summary.
If you use a stride sensor, make sure that the stride sensor is calibrated.
