Open a workout to see the route, follow the effort across synchronized charts, and inspect the intervals inside it. Each chart tab brings a different part of the recording into view, with cards for individual efforts and tables for the session's training metrics.
Start with the whole session
In the web app, choose a recording from Activities. The top of the page brings together its name, date, sport and summary metrics: duration, distance, elevation gain, average power, heart rate, cadence, speed and moving time, where available. Tags and perceived effort keep your own context beside the recorded data.
Activity analysis is included in Free. The charts available for a workout depend on its recorded streams: a summary-only import can show totals but cannot supply a missing power trace or GPS track.
Follow the effort on the map
Expand Track map to connect the recording to the road or trail. Choose an available route metric, such as power, heart rate or speed, to colour the track. Power can use discrete Zones or a continuous Gradient. The legend shows how the colours relate to the selected metric.
Intervals can also appear on the track. Inspect an effort against its position on the route, and use the map’s own interval switch when you want an unobstructed view. The map and chart timeline give you two ways to examine the same part of the activity. Indoor sessions and recordings without usable GPS retain their available sensor charts.
Move between pages of charts
The tabs below the map divide the recording into readable groups. Overview places the main streams on one timeline. Move the pointer across the charts to read synchronized values, then switch tabs for more detail without opening another activity.
Power: short spikes, sustained effort and time in zones
The Power page puts the raw trace beside an averaged version. Read the short spikes in one and the sustained changes in the other. Below them, Time in power zones shows the duration and share spent in each zone, using the zones saved for this activity.
Heart rate: follow the response to the effort
Switch to Heart rate to inspect the recorded HR trace and time in HR zones. Zone colours make changes in the recording easier to locate, and the distribution shows how long heart rate stayed in each range. Recordings with RR data can add the beat-to-beat views described below.
Terrain and movement: connect the climbs to speed and cadence
Terrain & Ride Dynamics brings together the recorded elevation and gradient, movement and cadence, plus supported gearing fields. Its subsections let you follow how the terrain changes through the ride and compare that pattern with motion on the same timeline.
The Altitude profile colours climbs by gradient: yellow for 3–6%, orange for 6–9%, red for 9–12% and dark red for 12% or more. Easier terrain and descents stay neutral. Coloured areas beneath the neutral outline make steeper sections easy to locate.
Recorded Grade supplies these colours when available. Otherwise, Estimated grade uses the altitude change over the preceding 100 metres of recorded distance. The estimate is calculated before chart sampling, and Zoom keeps the same terrain classification. The original recording is preserved.
Supported performance and pedalling fields appear in Performance. Other sensors collects additional available streams, including environmental and device measurements.
The set of tabs and charts follows the sport and the fields in the file. A ride without cycling-dynamics data will not have the same pages as a ride recorded with a compatible power meter.
Use Settings below the chart stack to show, hide and reorder the available charts. The selection is saved for the sport. Power controls let you choose raw data or an averaging window, and switch between watts and % FTP where a threshold is available. A smoother line makes sustained changes easier to read while the raw series preserves short fluctuations.
The Power and Heart rate pages also include duration curves. These answer how high the recorded value stayed over a given duration; the historical comparison adds context from the selected period of your own training.
Zoom into a climb or a repeated effort
Expand Navigation / zoom for the full-activity navigator and range controls. Pan drags the visible time window; Zoom draws a range to inspect more closely. The aligned charts move together, so a rise in power remains at the same point as the heart-rate response, speed change and terrain.
Choose Zoom beside the chart tabs, then drag across the part of a graph you want to inspect. Releasing the selection makes that time range fill the width of every synchronized chart. Power, heart rate, speed and cadence share the new time boundaries, so you can compare their changes within the same climb or effort. The navigator keeps the entire workout in view and shows where the enlarged window sits inside it.
The map follows the selected time range too: the corresponding section of the route stays in full colour, while the rest of the track fades into the background. Its geographic framing stays in place, preserving the surrounding route as context. Use the map’s own zoom and pan controls to move closer to the terrain.
Use Zoom in and Zoom out for stepwise changes, including on a phone. Drag the navigator’s boundary handles to adjust the range, or move the window to another part of the recording: the charts and route emphasis follow together. Reset restores the complete timeline and the full route’s colours. Switch back to Pan when you want dragging on a chart to move the time window instead of drawing a new selection.
For a range you want to keep, open the Intervals list and use Add interval. Give it a name and elapsed-time boundaries, then save it. Recorded laps retain the device’s boundaries; your own ranges and detected efforts have their own origins. Interval Analysis and Comparison explains editing and the available automatic searches for steady efforts, climbs and repeated route sections.
AI Workout Analysis
Open AI Insights from a completed workout to read a short analysis of its recorded effort, execution and available training context. Reopening the panel shows the saved analysis. Missing sensor data or training history limits what the analysis can explain.

Read interval cards above the charts
Expand Breakdown to place cards for the enabled ranges directly above the recording. Each card shows the range’s name, duration and relevant metrics, with its position tied to the timeline. The values follow the selected chart tab: power helps compare output, heart rate shows the recorded response, and movement metrics add speed, pace or terrain context.
The Intervals, Laps and Pauses buttons beside Breakdown open their lists. Use those lists to inspect names and boundaries and choose individual ranges. The switches on the other side of the toolbar control which groups appear on the charts and in Breakdown statistics. Turning off a group keeps the individual list selections for when you show it again.
Collapse Breakdown to give more space to the charts. Enabled interval bands remain visible, so you can follow the efforts without keeping every card open. For the full workflow, see interval lists, cards and comparison.
Inspect stops or leave them out of the timeline
Recorded pauses have their own list. Open Pauses to inspect each stop’s time and duration and choose which ones are visible. When heart-rate samples are available, pause statistics include HR at the pause, the lowest HR before resuming and the drop between them.
There are two useful levels of control. The Pauses group switch shows or hides enabled pause bands and Breakdown statistics while preserving your selections. Hiding an individual pause also removes its samples from the displayed charts and collapses that span of the timeline. Show it again when you want to inspect the stop itself.
These display choices preserve the original recording. Training-load calculations follow their own timer-running and data-coverage rules; hiding a pause is not an instruction to rewrite the recorded session or recalculate its load.
Read the numbers below the charts
Scroll past the graphs to Training Metrics. The tables group the session’s calculated values by subject, with the metric name and unit beside each value. They follow the selected tab, so the Power page brings its power metrics together while Overview shows a broader summary. These calculations can differ from the stored summaries in the page header because they use their own sample-coverage and timer rules.
Depending on the recording and your athlete settings, these groups can include Heart & Cardio, Power, Bike Cadence, Intensity Minutes, movement and elevation. Power metrics include Weighted Power, work, variability, intensity and PSS. Heart-rate analysis includes TRIMP; Efficiency Factor and Aerobic Decoupling have their own input requirements.
On the Power tab, Power Load Distribution adds a zone-by-zone table of time, share and PSS when the necessary zone data is available. Use the help beside a metric to check its meaning. The activity metrics guide explains the units and calculations in more detail.
Look at beat-to-beat variability
A recording with usable R-R intervals adds R-R intervals and Beat-to-beat variability to the Heart rate tab. The summary includes lnRMSSD, average R-R, RMSSD and SDSD for the whole activity; zooming the timeline does not recalculate those four values. Ordinary bpm samples cannot recreate the missing beat intervals. Health Metrics & Readiness: workout HRV explains the charts, formulas, recording limits and the distinction from nightly HRV, with native screenshots.
Explore the fields your cycling equipment records
Open Performance → Pedalling efficiency for Visual summaries or recorded Graphs. Compatible recordings can supply left/right balance, Platform Center Offset, power-phase angles, torque effectiveness and pedal smoothness. The Cycling Dynamics guide explains each measurement with native screenshots, selected-range calculations and the current limits of seated/standing analysis and Garmin Performance Condition. Equipment and recording format determine which channels appear.
Keep the sport's own measurements
For a run, inspect pace, heart rate, running power and available dynamics. For swimming, use the recorded distance, pace, stroke and lap evidence. The metric groups and units adapt to the activity; a missing sensor or unsupported field remains unavailable.
Swimming Analytics connects those measurements with training load and volume. The Pool Swimming guide follows recorded laps, lengths and stroke metrics; Open Water Swimming covers the GPS route, stroke rate and distance-based best efforts.
Add environmental context
Temperature and other supported environmental streams can help you interpret the conditions around an effort. A device’s temperature reading may differ from ambient weather. Future event forecasts belong to Events and Weather; here you are inspecting the context recorded for a completed session.
Find another workout to compare
Open the More actions menu (the three dots beside the activity title) and choose Find similar. This Pro feature searches your same-sport history for comparable sessions using the available route and effort evidence. It is useful when you want to revisit a familiar ride or find another workout with a similar effort pattern.
Review the candidates and select the recordings you want to inspect together. A comparison can contain up to five activities, including the starting workout. Similar Activities explains the matching criteria and search limits.
If you already know which sessions you want, choose Compare from the same menu; manual comparison is included in Free. Activity Comparison shows how to select recordings, arrange the comparison metrics and inspect their duration curves side by side.
All Pro features are free through January 31, 2027. No credit card or automatic charges. After Early Access, keep using Free or choose Pro. See Free and Pro plans.
