5K Run:
This program automatically sets a 5k (5 kilometer) distance as your goal. The track display will show one loop that is the equivalent of 5 kilometers and the Distance window will also show 5k to start. When the program begins the Distance will count down; once it reaches zero the program ends.
*Please note that the Speed readout is in MPH if the console is not set to Metric.
Fitness Test:
The fitness test is based on the Gerkin protocol, also known as the firemans protocol, and is a submax Vo2 (volume of oxygen) test. The test will increase speed and elevation alternately until you reach 85% of your Max heart rate. The time it takes for you to reach 85% determines the test score as shown in the chart below.
