Running Index

If you’re looking to keep on top of your running performance you’ll find this feature a big help. Regular use over time allows you to see how efficient your running is. Your Running Index score is calculated automatically after every run, based on your heart rate and from the speed data collected from your GPS or stride sensor. A higher reading indicates that you can run faster with less effort. In V800, this feature can also recognize if you're running uphill or downhill.

Recovery status

Find the perfect balance between training and rest and get a true picture of your recovery status before getting out there again. Recovery status is based on the cumulative load of all your activities including your training sessions and data on the small activities you do every day. Continuous monitoring of recovery status helps you plan your training so you can avoid over- and under training.

24/7 ACTIVITY TRACKING

It’s what you do in between training sessions that can make or break your next run. The M430 records your steps, distance, calories burned, and sleep so you can measure how the rest of your day impacts your running performance.
