Understand your workout summary and metrics
After completing and saving an activity, you can access a detailed workout summary to analyze your performance. This summary provides a comprehensive breakdown of your activity, including your route, key performance metrics, and effort distribution over time.
Workout Map and Data Overview
At the top of the summary screen, you will find a visual representation of your workout route on a map, along with any photos you've added. Below this, the app displays the most important statistics from your session at a glance.

Heart Rate Training Zones
This section breaks down how much time you spent in each of the five heart rate training zones. It's a great way to quickly assess the overall intensity of your workout and see if you trained at your intended effort level.
Splits and Charts
For a more granular analysis, you can expand the Splits and Charts sections. Splits show your performance metrics for each kilometer or mile, while charts visualize your data over the duration of the activity.
- Splits: Tap to expand a detailed table of your pace, heart rate, and elevation changes for each split.
- Charts: Expand this section to see line graphs for your Heart Rate, Speed, and Elevation throughout the workout.
Tips for Analyzing Your Summary
Compare your Heart Rate and Elevation charts to see how terrain impacted your effort. A spike in heart rate that aligns with a hill in the elevation chart shows a clear cause-and-effect relationship in your performance.
