My Stats

The Edge Explore 2 device can track your personal statistics and calculate performance measurements.
Performance measurements require a compatible heart rate monitor or power meter.

Performance Measurements

These performance measurements are estimates that can help you track and understand your training activities
and race performances. The measurements require a few activities using wrist-based heart rate or a compatible
chest heart rate monitor. Cycling performance measurements require a heart rate monitor and a power meter.

These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat Analytics™. For more information, go to

www.garmin.com/performance-data.

NOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires you to complete a few activities to learn
about your performance.

VO2 max.: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram

of body weight at your maximum performance. Your device displays heat and altitude corrected VO2 max.
values when you are acclimating to high heat environments or high altitude.

Recovery time: The recovery time displays how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for

About VO2 Max. Estimates

VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body
weight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of athletic performance and
should increase as your level of fitness improves. VO2 max. estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat.
You can use your Garmin® device paired with a compatible heart rate monitor and power meter to display your
cycling VO2 max. estimate.

Tips for Cycling VO2 Max. Estimates

The success and accuracy of the VO2 max. calculation improves when your ride is a sustained and moderately
hard effort, and where heart rate and power are not highly variable.

• Before your ride, check that your device, heart rate monitor, and power meter are functioning properly, paired,

and have good battery life.

• During your 20 minute ride, maintain your heart rate at greater than 70% of your maximum heart rate.

• During your 20 minute ride, maintain a fairly constant power output.

• Avoid rolling terrain.

• Avoid riding in groups where there is a lot of drafting.

Recovery Time

You can use your Garmin device with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display
how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout.

NOTE: The recovery time recommendation uses your VO2 max. estimate and may seem inaccurate at first. The
device requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance.

The recovery time appears immediately following an activity. The time counts down until it is optimal for you to
attempt another hard workout. The device updates your recovery time throughout the day based on changes in
sleep, stress, relaxation, and physical activity.

Viewing Your Recovery Time

Before you can use the recovery time feature, you must have a Garmin device with wrist-based heart rate or a

About Heart Rate Zones

Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their
level of fitness. A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted heart
rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are
calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.

Fitness Goals

Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying
these principles.

• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.

• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength.
If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (

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. The default maximum heart rate is

Pedal-Based Power

Rally measures pedal-based power.
Rally measures the force you apply a few hundred times every second. Rally also measures your cadence or

rotational pedaling speed. By measuring the force, the direction of force, the rotation of the crank arm, and time,
Rally can determine power (watts). Because Rally independently measures left and right leg power, it reports
your left-right power balance.

NOTE: The single-sensing Rally system does not provide left-right power balance.

Power Graph: A line graph showing your current, average, and maximum power output values for the current

activity.

Power Zone: The current range of power output (1 to 7) based on your FTP or custom settings.
Shifting Advice: The recommendation to shift up or down based on your current effort. Your eBike must be in

manual shifting mode.

Smart Travel Range: The estimated remaining distance the eBike will provide assistance, taking into account

the local terrain.

Speed: The current rate of travel.
Speed Graph: A line graph showing your speed for the current activity.
Sunrise: The time of sunrise based on your GPS position.
Sunset: The time of sunset based on your GPS position.
Temperature: The temperature of the air. Your body temperature affects the temperature sensor.
Time of Day: The time of day based on your current location and time settings (format, time zone, daylight

saving time).

Timer: The stopwatch time for the current activity.
Time to Destination: The estimated time remaining before you reach the destination. You must be navigating

for this data to appear.

Time to Next: The estimated time remaining before you reach the next waypoint in the route. You must be

navigating for this data to appear.

Time to Point: The remaining time to the next point.
Total Ascent: The total elevation distance ascended since the last reset.

breathing, conversation possible

Moderate pace, more difficult to hold
conversation

Fast pace and a bit uncomfortable,
breathing forceful

Sprinting pace, unsustainable for long
period of time, labored breathing

Basic cardiovascular training, good
recovery pace

Improved aerobic capacity, optimal
cardiovascular training

Improved anaerobic capacity and
threshold, improved speed

Anaerobic and muscular endurance,
increased power

Wheel Size and Circumference

Your speed sensor automatically detects your wheel size. If necessary, you can manually enter your wheel
circumference in the speed sensor settings.

The tire size is marked on both sides of the tire. This is not a comprehensive list. You can also measure the
circumference of your wheel or use one of the calculators available on the internet.
