• Access splits, weather conditions, advanced running dynamics, and trail-specific data (ClimbPro gradient analysis, Run/Walk detection)

• Download activity files in TCX, GPX, or FIT formats

Training Analysis

• Check training status, readiness, load balance, aerobic/anaerobic training effect, and recovery time

Heart Rate & Wellness

• Get daily heart rate, HRV, heart rate zone distributions, sleep data (stages/quality), stress levels, Body Battery, SpO2, and respiration

• View weekly wellness trend summaries

Workout & Training Plan Management

• Create structured workouts (interval, tempo, etc.) with custom pace/heart rate/cadence/power targets and sync to Garmin devices

• List, view, and schedule Garmin training plans aligned with personal calendars

Gear & Device Management
