Viewing Your Real-Time Stamina Your device can provide real-time stamina estimates based on your heart rate data and VO2 max. estimate ( About VO2 Max. Estimates , page 17 ). How hard you are working during an activity affects how quickly your stamina drains.
Real-time stamina tracking works by combining your physiological metrics with your recent and long-term activity history, such as training duration, distance covered, and training load accumulation ( Performance Measurements , page 16 ). For best results, record cycling activities with a power meter consistently for 2 to 3 weeks and with different intensity levels and duration. 1 Select > Activity Profiles . 2 Select a biking profile. 3 Select Data Screens > Stamina . 4 Select Show Screen to view the data screen during your ride. 5 Select Show Current Effort . 6 Select Show Distance or Show Time as the primary data field. 7 Select Layout and Data Fields . 8 Press or to change the layout.
