RACE PACE

The race pace feature helps you to keep a steady pace and achieve your target time for a set distance. Define a target
time for the distance - 45 minutes for a 10k run for example and follow how far behind or ahead you are compared to
your pre-set target.
Race pace can be set on your Vantage, or you can also set a Race Pace target in the Flow web service or app, and sync it to
your watch.
If you have scheduled race pace target for that day, Vantage suggests you to start it when entering pre-training mode.
Create a race pace target on your Vantage
You can create race pace target from the Quick menu in pre-training mode.

pace/speed required to meet your target time and then returns to pre-training mode where you can start the
training session.

HEART RATE ZONES

The range between 50% and 100% of your maximum heart rate is divided into five heart rate zones. By keeping your
heart rate within a certain heart rate zone you can easily control the intensity level of your workout. Each heart rate zone
carries its own main benefits, and understanding these benefits will help you achieve the effect you want from your
workout.

SPEED ZONES

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

SPEED ZONES SETTINGS

The speed zone settings can be adjusted in the Flow web service. There are five different zones, and 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 running 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 an example of speed/pace zones for a person
with a relatively high fitness level.
