training for their next race can take advantage of several
different adaptive training plan options: Either enter the race
information into the Garmin Connect calendar and receive race
training plans that adapt after every run to match performance and
recovery, or use free Garmin Coach
5K, 10K
and half-marathon plans created by expert coaches. Runners can also
take advantage of personalized daily suggested workouts that adapt
after every run to match performance and recovery. And to prepare
for their ideal race day strategy, PacePro™ provides

elevation and personal pacing preferences.
Around-the-clock wellness tracking
Before, during and after a workout, the Forerunner 165 Series is
designed to track overall well-being 24/7. Keep track of heart rate
