Training readiness
From the moment you wake up, get a readiness score based on your sleep quality, recovery, training load and more, so you can determine whether it’s a good day to go hard — or take it easy.
Full-colour Mapping
Whether you’re running on city streets or riding densely covered trails, Forerunner 965 running smartwatch provides, full-colour, built-in mapping to keep you on track.
TRIATHLON AND MULTISPORT PROFILES
Switch between sports automatically by using built-in profiles for triathlons, duathlons, brick workouts and swimruns – so you can focus on the race and let your running watch take care of recording splits. You can also create your own custom multisport profiles.
GARMIN COACH
Prepare for your next race, train for a milestone, or simply improve your fitness with Garmin Coach adaptive or prebuilt running, cycling or strength training plans. For more personalised workouts, select plans even adapt based on your performance and health metrics.
Daily Suggested Workouts
Get workouts made specifically for you and based on your data. These run recommendations vary in intensity and adapt after every run to take into account performance and recovery.
Training status
Using indicators such as HRV status, your recent exercise history and performance, get an easy insight into your overall effort — and whether you’re training productively, peaking or strained.
