Forerunner 245 offers personalized training and recovery insight for smarter training decisions, helping you prepare for your next race. It keeps tabs on your VO2 max and understands how heat and altitude impact your performance. And the higher your VO2 max, the higher you can expect to perform, which is exactly what is shown by the performance condition metric. Training status evaluates your recent exercise history and performance indicators to let you know if you’re training productively, peaking or overreaching. See how your workouts influence the development of endurance, speed and power with aerobic and anaerobic training effect feedback. Recovery time helps you maximize the benefit of your efforts by predicting when you will be ready for your next tough challenge. You can even view your overall training load, which measures your exercise volume from the last 7 days and compares it to the optimal range for your fitness and recent training history.</span><br><br><br><br><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: #2a8df7;"><strong>More Ways to Work Out<br></strong></span><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><img src="https://static.garmincdn.com/en/products/010-02120-00/g/advanced-performance-analytics-088a9417-006b-4711-864f-bd1d9459e6d4.jpg" alt="More Ways to Work Out"><br></span><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Running is what you do, so train smarter with the tools available from our Garmin Connect online fitness community.

The watch measures crucial running metrics² such as cadence, stride length, ground contact time and balance, vertical oscillationand vertical ratio. These measurements are the key to understanding your form, so you can bring your best on every run and at every race. Your Forerunner 245 can start tracking these metrics with the addition of a compatible heart rate strap or the compact Running Dynamics Pod, which clips right onto your waistband.</span><br><br><br><br><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: #2a8df7;"><strong>More Ways to Customize</strong></span><br><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Check out our Connect IQ store, where you can add personality to Forerunner 245 by downloading apps, widgets, watch faces and more. It’s easy and — even better — it’s free. New apps are added every day, so you can keep tabs on when your Uber will arrive, turn on your lights at home with the SmartThings app, and even use the AccuWeather MinuteCast app to find out when the rain will start.</span><br><br><br><br><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: #2a8df7;"><strong>Stay Connected on the Run<br></strong></span><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><img src="https://static.garmincdn.com/en/products/010-02120-00/g/more-ways-to-customize-6231c529-98bb-49b8-8e7a-d68dfb9c156c.jpg" alt="Stay Connected on the Run"><br></span><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Forerunner 245 makes it easy to run without leaving important smart features behind. Once paired with your compatible smartphone, you’ll be able to receive text messages and see social media updates, emails and more right on your wrist. And new safety and tracking features make it easy to share your location with chosen contacts in case you need assistance — manually, or automatically with built-in incident detection, if needed. So, lace up your shoes, and head out with a little extra peace of mind.</span><br><br><br><br><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: #2a8df7;"><strong>Share and Compete</strong></span><br><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Syncing your activities to Garmin Connect is for more than just storing your data.

These tools provide crucial insight you can use to maximize your training. For example, it’s our first running watch to include a Pulse Ox sensor5. This wrist-based sensor estimates your body’s blood oxygen saturation, which can help gauge how your body is absorbing oxygen — especially while you sleep. And to give you an idea of how you’re sleeping, Forerunner 245 tracks your light, deep and REM stages of sleep, along with movement throughout the night. It also features all-day stress monitoring for wellness tracking during the day. If your stress level starts to climb, use the relaxation breathing timer for a few minutes of guided breathing, which can help calm your mind and body. And to help you optimize your body’s energy, Body Battery energy monitoring uses collected data to gauge your energy reserves at any moment, so you can plan your day to optimize times for activity and rest.</span><br><br><br><br><table class="specStyle" style="width: 500px;
