Designed for Runners of All Levels

It even supports track run mode to capture accurate lap distances in meters, which runners will appreciate when precision matters.

Heart Rate and Health Tracking

Garmin 010-02562 monitors wrist-based heart rate all day, every second. You can see how hard your heart is working during workouts and get alerts if your heart rate stays unusually high or low at rest. It also tracks respiration, stress levels, sleep, fitness age, and Body Battery energy levels, helping you understand when to push and when to rest.

Garmin Coach and Daily Suggested Workouts

Training doesn’t have to feel like solving a puzzle. Garmin 010-02562 offers Garmin Coach adaptive plans with guidance from expert coaches. Workouts sync directly from the Garmin Connect app and adjust based on your progress.

Daily suggested workouts take your recent runs, recovery, and performance into account. The recommendations adapt after every run, like a coach who actually listens instead of handing you the same plan every week.

Race Tools That Keep You Focused

Garmin 010-02562 includes PacePro technology to guide your pace based on GPS data for a selected course or distance. Race predictor estimates finish times based on your fitness and training history, while finish time screens help you stay on target during goal runs.

Garmin 010-02562 tracks more than running. Built-in activity profiles include cycling, pool swimming, HIIT, Pilates, yoga, breathwork, walking, and indoor workouts. Swim metrics cover distance, pace, stroke type, and efficiency, even tracking underwater wrist-based heart rate.
