Initial Requirements
To ensure the accuracy of EvoLab metrics, we have set the initial requirements listed below for new COROS accounts to receive EvoLab metrics.
You will receive EvoLab metrics once you've completed a 25 minute run or longer at 60% max heart rate reserve or higher.
- All users need to complete sufficient and eligible flat and paved outdoor road running recorded by Run and Track Run mode or Run programs using Training mode.
- The heart rate readings of eligible runs need to be over 60% of the Heart Rate Reserve added back to the Resting Heart Rate. For instance, a runner needs to maintain a heart rate reading over 128bpm if max heart rate is 180, resting heart rate is 50 and heart rate reserve is 130.
- The heart rate readings of eligible runs need to be over 60% of the Heart Rate Reserve added back to the Resting Heart Rate. For instance, a runner needs to maintain a heart rate reading over 128bpm if max heart rate is 180, resting heart rate is 50 and heart rate reserve is 130.
Still can't receive EvoLab metrics?
Below are a few common factors that may affect generating EvoLab metrics. Try to avoid them in your future training and remember to check the progress bar after each run.
- Complete workouts other than outdoor road running.
- Solution: Use Run or Track Run modes to track outdoor flat and paved running.
- Incorrect setting of max heart rate in the Profile of the COROS app.
- Solution: Adjust the setting to reflect a correct max heart rate so that heart rate performance during outdoor runs is within the allowed range and not too far or too close to the max heart rate.
- The heart rate readings of eligible runs need to be over 60% of the Heart Rate Reserve added back to the Resting Heart Rate. Workout data isn't accepted to EvoLab if your heart rate is too low or too high.

- Solution: Adjust the setting to reflect a correct max heart rate so that heart rate performance during outdoor runs is within the allowed range and not too far or too close to the max heart rate.
Exceptions to the Initial Requirements
Existing users with sufficient and eligible road running data in their COROS accounts will receive EvoLab metrics immediately.
- Please note that EvoLab only considers the workout data in the past 90 days to build the initial model. Any workout that is older than 90 days will not be used in the initial process.
The Training Load of any workout is not affected by the initial requirements listed above and is available during and after the workout tracking on the watch and the COROS app.
Subsequent Training
Once the requirements are met and you are able to receive initial metrics from EvoLab, please follow the steps below to continue your road running or other types of training.
All Training Types
- Complete any workout with your COROS watch.
- The training load of the workout has to be greater than 0.

Road Running Training
- Complete Run/Track Run workout with your COROS watch.
- The workout should be at least 25 minutes.
- The heart rate readings need to be over 60% of the Heart Rate Reserve added back to the Resting Heart Rate. For instance, a runner needs to maintain a heart rate reading over 128bpm if heart rate reserve is 130 and resting heart rate is 50.
