My Stats

The Edge 830 tracks statistics and calculates performance measurements, requiring a compatible heart rate monitor or power meter.

Performance Measurements

Estimates help track training and race performance, requiring a few activities with wrist-based or chest heart rate monitoring. Cycling requires both a heart rate monitor and a power meter.

Estimates are provided by Firstbeat. For more info, visit www.garmin.com/performance-data.

Note: Estimates improve with more activity data.

  • Training Status: Reflects how training affects fitness and performance, based on training load and VO2 max. changes.
  • VO2 Max.: Maximum oxygen volume consumed per minute per kilogram of body weight. Corrected for heat and altitude.
  • Training Load: Sum of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) over the last 7 days.
  • Training Load Focus: Analyzes training load distribution by intensity and structure over the last 4 weeks.

Recovery Time

Displays time needed for full recovery before the next hard workout.

Functional Threshold Power (FTP)

Device estimates FTP using user profile. Conduct a guided test for more accuracy.

HRV Stress Test

Requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. Measures heart rate variability over 3 minutes while standing still to assess overall stress (scale 1-100).

Performance Condition

Real-time assessment after 6-20 minutes of activity, comparing current condition to average fitness level.

Power Curve

Displays sustained power output over time (previous month, three months, or twelve months).

Training Status

Indicates how training affects fitness and performance, based on training load and VO2 max. trends. Helps plan future training.

  • Peaking: Ideal race condition due to reduced training load and recovery.
  • Productive: Training load improves fitness; plan recovery periods.
  • Maintaining: Fitness level maintained; add variety or volume for improvement.
  • Recovery: Lighter load allows body to recover; return to higher load when ready.
  • Unproductive: Good load but decreasing fitness; check overall health.
  • Detraining: Training significantly reduced; increase load for improvement.
  • Overreaching: Very high, counterproductive load; requires rest.
  • No Status: Requires 1-2 weeks of training history with VO2 max. data.

About VO2 Max. Estimates

VO2 max. indicates athletic performance. Estimates are provided by Firstbeat. Use with a compatible heart rate monitor and power meter for cycling VO2 max. estimates.

Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate

Requires heart rate monitor, power meter, and paired device. Complete user profile setup and set maximum heart rate.

Note: Estimates improve with more rides.

  1. Ride at steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes outdoors.
  2. Select Save Ride.
  3. Select > My Stats > Training Status > VO2 Max..

Your VO2 max. estimate appears on a color gauge.

CategoryRating

BlueExcellent
GreenGood
OrangeFair
RedPoor

Data provided by The Cooper Institute®. See appendix for details.

Tips for Cycling VO2 Max. Estimates

  • Ride sustained and moderately hard with stable heart rate and power.
  • Check device, monitor, and meter functionality before riding.
  • Maintain heart rate >70% of maximum during the 20-minute ride.
  • Maintain fairly constant power output.
  • Avoid rolling terrain and riding in groups with drafting.

Heat and Altitude Performance Acclimation

Environmental factors affect performance. The device provides acclimation notifications and corrections for VO2 max. and training status when temperatures exceed 22°C (72°F) or altitude is above 800 m (2625 ft.). Track acclimation in the training status widget.

Note: Heat acclimation requires GPS activities and weather data from a smartphone. Full acclimation takes about 4 training days.

Training Load

Measures training volume over the last seven days, based on EPOC. A gauge indicates if your load is low, high, or optimal.

Getting Your Training Load Estimate

Requires heart rate monitor, power meter, and paired device. Complete user profile setup and set maximum heart rate.

Note: Estimates improve with more rides.

  1. Ride at least once within a seven-day period.
  2. Select > My Stats > Training Status > Load.

Your training load estimate appears on a color gauge.

Training Load Focus

Distributes training load into low aerobic, high aerobic, and anaerobic categories to maximize performance. Requires 7 days of training data for initial assessment, with more detail after 4 weeks.

  • Below targets: Increase duration/frequency.
  • Low aerobic shortage: Add low aerobic activities for balance.
  • High aerobic shortage: Add high aerobic activities for lactate threshold and VO2 max.
  • Anaerobic shortage: Add intense anaerobic activities for speed/capacity.
  • Balanced: Provides all-around fitness benefits.
  • Low aerobic focus: Mostly low aerobic activity for a solid foundation.
  • High aerobic focus: Mostly high aerobic activity for lactate threshold, VO2 max., and endurance.
  • Anaerobic focus: Mostly intense activity for rapid fitness gains.
  • Above targets: Load is higher than optimal; scale back duration/frequency.

About Training Effect

Measures activity's impact on aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Determined by user profile, history, heart rate, duration, and intensity. Seven labels describe primary benefit.

Aerobic Training Effect: Uses heart rate to measure impact on aerobic fitness. Steady, moderate efforts improve aerobic metabolism.

Anaerobic Training Effect: Uses heart rate and speed/power to measure impact on high-intensity performance. Repeated high-intensity intervals improve anaerobic capability.

Add these as data fields to monitor during activities.
