Tips for Getting Your Training Status
The training status feature depends on updated assessments of your fitness level, including at least two VO2
max. measurements per week. Your VO2 max. estimate is updated after outdoor runs or rides with power during
which your heart rate reached at least 70% of your maximum heart rate for several minutes. Indoor run activities
do not generate a VO2 max. estimate in order to preserve the accuracy of your fitness level trend. You can
disable VO2 max. recording for ultra run and trail run activities if you do not want those run types to affect your
VO2 max. estimate (Activities and App Settings, page
To get the most out of the training status feature, you can try these tips.
• At least two times per week, run or ride outdoors with a power meter, and reach a heart rate higher than 70%
of your maximum heart rate for at least 10 minutes.
After using the device for one week, your training status should be available.
• Record all of your fitness activities on this device, or enable the Physio TrueUp feature, allowing your device
to learn about your performance

Heat and Altitude Performance Acclimation
Environmental factors such as high temperature and altitude impact your training and performance. For
example, high altitude training can have a positive impact on your fitness, but you may notice a temporary VO2
max. decline while exposed to high altitudes. Your Descent G1 watch provides acclimation notifications and
corrections to your VO2 max. estimate and training status when the temperature is above 22ºC (72ºF) and when
the altitude is above 800 m (2625 ft.). You can keep track of your heat and altitude acclimation in the training
status glance.
NOTE: The heat acclimation feature is available only for GPS activities and requires weather data from your
connected phone.
