Let's move on to rhythm, which essentially follows the same pattern you've already seen with respect to activity time, so you know what average rhythm and average pace in motion is.įrom what appears in Garmin Connect I want to highlight the "best pace" section for a simple reason, and that is that the value you see here does not mean that you have gone at that pace at some point in the training, for that you should review the graph and see how and where it happened. That is, do a varied training to improve in all aspects, not limit yourself to go out after outing. If one day you do a training session in which the TE reaches 5, the next one should be between 1 and 2 to recover. The use you should make of this value is to observe it daily, and try to "touch all the sticks". It is just an algorithm that combines the values you have entered for your heart rate zones to quickly indicate what a particular workout has required of your body. Your average heart rate will be low (because of the delay in heart rate response to exercise) and the Training Effect rating will be equally low, but you will be devastated.

Imagine training 25 series of 50m sprints with 2 minute breaks. This will help you to evaluate the intensity of your workout as a whole, but it will only be useful if you are training at a constant pace or with a slightly longer series. It is a scale from 1 to 5, classified in the following grades. The summary records the average and maximum heart rate for the entire workout accompanied by a number, Training Effect, which translates the intensity of your workout into numbers. In addition to the basics of distance, calories and height, there are many other values to pay attention to. Let's go over the values you can see in the Garmin Connect race summary. And this time will be so calculated as long as you have the automatic break activated in running or cycling.
That is the time used to estimate the average pace, eliminating the breaks. In the example I have taken is from a swimming training, and the time in motion is the effective time between sets (5 in that case, so there were 4 breaks between sets). The first value is the total time you have been training (including breaks), from the time you started the activity until you stop it, regardless of what you have done during the training.īecause in that training time period many things can happen, like you stop to talk to a friend, fill up water in a fountain or stop to take a picture.
Three values may appear, as you see in this screenshot. But I want to stop for a moment in the activity time. I'm not going to go into describing what heart rate, calories, or distance traveled is, you know what those basic terms are. They are the ones that most people look at as a basic aspect of a workout without looking much further. These are elementary metrics that need no explanation. Things like distance traveled, calories consumed, average and maximum heart rate. There are basic terms that will appear in all sports. Here are the most complete analyses of all Garmin devices. And because I don't make tremendously extensive articles, in this entry I will simply deal with the career data. It is simply a matter of mathematics, since they are the ones that put more models on the market (and with a wide difference from the second one). Since we have to start somewhere, I have chosen Garmin because it is the one that concentrates more users. And not only for the race, but also for cyclists and triathletes. I want to start a series of articles where I can make an approach to all these terms and values, so that you can know what each one of them is, how you can use it in the analysis of your training and how observing them will allow you to improve your sport performance. Where have I started to slow down? When do I start to get overly tired? How far am I able to go and for how long? But the possibilities of analysis go far beyond that. Average rate, heart rate graph or meters ascended and descended. Many users simply look at the average end data.

And that is where this complete guide to Garmin Connect comes in, so that you can learn how to use the platform. Because having a lot of information can be a very powerful tool, but without the ability to analyse it, it is useless. The function of a GPS watch is not only to provide rhythm and heart rate data during your workouts, but also to help you analyse the different metrics you have recorded, and to do this correctly you must know what information you can consult and what each section means. Using Garmin Connect for your own benefit.Common (and basic) Garmin Connect terms.
