Indoor Activities
The Forerunner device can be used for training
indoors, such as running on an indoor track or using
a stationary bike. GPS is turned off for indoor
activities.
When running or walking with GPS turned off,
speed, distance, and cadence are calculated using
the accelerometer in the device. The accelerometer
is self-calibrating. The accuracy of the speed,
distance,
and cadence data improves after a few outdoor runs
or walks using GPS.
TIP: Holding the handrails of the treadmill reduces
accuracy. You can use an optional foot pod to record
pace, distance, and cadence.
When cycling with GPS turned off, speed and
distance are not available unless you have an optional
sensor that sends speed and distance data to the
device (such as a speed or cadence sensor).
Going for a Virtual Run
You can pair your Forerunner device with a
compatible third-party app to transmit pace, heart
rate, or cadence data.
1 Select START > Virtual Run.
2 On your tablet, laptop, or smartphone, open
the Zwift™ app or another virtual training app.
3 Follow the on-screen instructions to start a running
activity and pair the devices.
4 Select START to start the activity timer.
5 After you complete your run, select STOP to
stop the activity timer.
Calibrating the Treadmill Distance
To record more accurate distances for your treadmill runs,
you can calibrate the treadmill distance after you run at
least 1.5 km (1 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 (
Starting an Activity, page
3
), and run at least 1.5 km (1 mi.) on the treadmill.
2 After you complete your run, select STOP.
3 Select an option:
• To calibrate the treadmill distance the first time,
select Save.
The device prompts you to complete the
treadmill calibration.
