Garmin Performance Condition
Do you use it, and for what purpose?
My understanding is that Performance Condition measures heart rate, heart rate variability, power, and speed to calculate your real time VO2 max, and then compares that to your recent VO2 max, and is supposed to be an indicator of whether you’re on a good day or bad day.
Also, change In Performance Condition over a long ride may be a marker of fatigue.
I do have to say that the initial Performance Condition number Garmin kicks out does seem to correlate pretty highly with how I feel. Plus number and I am likely to have a good day. Baseline or below, and I’m likely to struggle hitting the zones for the days workout.
However, it may also be a self fulfilling prophesy.
