[. . . ] • Knowing your heart rate zones can prevent you from overtraining and can decrease your risk of injury. If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (page 49) to determine the best heart rate zone for your fitness objectives. If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. • Heart rate zone calculations (page 49) • Heart rate data fields (page 36) • Heart rate troubleshooting (page 48) Foot Pod Your Forerunner is compatible with the foot pod. You can use the foot pod to send data to your Forerunner when training indoors, when your GPS signal is weak, or when you lose satellite signals. The foot pod is on standby and ready to send data as soon as you install it or start moving. Approximately five hours of battery life remain.

There are three ways to adjust the calibration: distance, GPS, and manual. 1 Select MODE > Settings > Run Calibrating Your Foot Pod by Distance For best results, the foot pod should be calibrated using the inside lane of a regulation track. A regulation track (2 laps = 800 m) is more accurate than a treadmill. 1 Select MODE > Settings > Run Settings > Foot Pod > Calibrate > Distance 2 Select a distance. The Forerunner informs you that you have traveled far enough. Calibrating Your Foot Pod Manually If your foot pod distance seems slightly high or low each time you run, you can manually adjust the calibration factor. 1 Select MODE > Settings > Run Settings > Foot Pod > Calibration Factor. • Decrease the calibration factor if your distance is too high. Calibrating Your Foot Pod by GPS You must have GPS signals to calibrate the foot pod using GPS.

For information about cadence alerts, see page 9. Training with a Bike Sensor Non-Zero Averaging for Cadence Data Before you start training, you must be in bike sport mode, and you must pair the GSC 10 with your Forerunner. 1 Select MODE > Settings > Bike Settings > bike name > ANT+Spd/ Cad. 3 If necessary, select More to select the sensor type.
