New training

New training features – with technology
provided by Firstbeat – make it easier for Forerunner 935 users to monitor
performance and better prepare for a race or training cycle. Training status
automatically analyzes previous exercise and fitness levels to provide insight
into how the athlete’s body is responding – letting them know if they are
training productively, peaking or overreaching. Training load gives users an
overview of their weekly activity and helps them determine if they are training
in the right zone and whether their sessions are too easy or hard.

limits. With these training features available at their fingertips, athletes
can make adjustments and improvements to their training to become better, faster
and more efficient come race day.

With Elevate wrist-based heart rate,
Forerunner 935 users have around-the-clock heart rate monitoring without the
need for an additional strap. With GPS and GLONASS coverage, athletes can
better track their activities in challenging environments than with GPS alone.
Additionally, the Forerunner 935 includes ABC (altimeter, barometer and
compass) sensor capabilities. The built-in altimeter provides real-time
elevation information, while the barometer can predict weather changes by
showing short-term trends in air pressure. The compass can help users keep
their bearings whether they’re moving or not.
