Calibrating the Treadmill Distance
To record more accurate distances for your treadmill runs, you can calibrate the treadmill distance after you run
at least 2.4 km (1.5 mi.) on a treadmill. If you use different treadmills, you can manually calibrate the treadmill
distance on each treadmill or after each run.
1 Start a treadmill activity
2 Run on the treadmill until your watch records at least 2.4 km (1.5 mi.).
3 After you finish the activity, press GPS to stop the activity timer.
4 Select an option:
• To calibrate the treadmill distance the first time, select Save.
The device prompts you to complete the treadmill calibration.
• To manually calibrate the treadmill distance after the first-time calibration, select Calibrate & Save >
5 Check the treadmill display for the distance traveled, and enter the distance on your watch.
Recording an Obstacle Racing Activity
When you participate in an obstacle course race, you can use the Obstacle Racing activity to record your time on
each obstacle and your time running between obstacles.
1 From the watch face, press GPS.
2 Select Obstacle Racing.
3 Press GPS to start the activity timer.
4 Press SET to manually mark the beginning and end of each obstacle.
NOTE: You can configure the Obstacle Tracking setting to save obstacle locations from your first loop of the
course. On repeat loops of the course, the watch uses the saved locations to switch between obstacle and
running intervals.
5 After you complete your activity, press GPS, and select Save.
PacePro Training
™
Many runners like to wear a pace band during a race to help achieve their race goal. The PacePro feature allows
you to create a custom pace band based on distance and pace or distance and time. You can also create a pace
band for a known course to optimize your pace effort based on elevation changes.
You can create a PacePro plan using the Garmin Connect app. You can preview the splits and elevation plot
before you run the course.
Downloading a PacePro Plan from Garmin Connect
