How to link a recorded session to your plan

Match what you actually did to the session you planned. This makes your calendar easier to trust.

Before you start

• Garmin or Strava connected, so your recording has arrived.
• A session planned on your calendar for that day.

Step by step

1. Tap the bell at the top of the home screen. The number on it shows how many things are waiting.
2. Find the recorded session. Want a quick look first? Tap the eye. This does not confirm anything.
3. Optional: tap the small tag pill to label it, such as “long run” or “intervals”.
4. Tap the green Add pill.
5. If you planned a session that day, the app links the recording to it. You get one entry, not two.
6. If more than one planned session could match, the app asks which one. Pick the one you actually did.
7. Lots waiting? Tap Bulk Add instead. It links each recording to a plan on the same day, matching the same sport first. Read down the list before you press it.
8. Open Calendar. A tick on a session means a real recording is linked to it. No tick means it is still just a plan.
9. Already got a double? Open the recorded activity, choose Replace in calendar, and pick the planned session it should replace.

Where it goes wrong

• Letting the bell pile up. This is the number one cause of “my dashboard looks empty” and “my coach doesn't know about my week”. Clear it regularly, or turn on Settings → Add new activities for me.
• Bulk Add's hidden switch. In the confirm box there is “also clear old planned sessions I never did”. It is off by default. If you turn it on, it deletes past planned sessions you never recorded. Only switch it on if that is what you want.
• Panicking after deleting a notification. Deleting a notification never deletes the activity. It just removes the reminder.
• Two plans on one day. If you had two sessions planned, check the tick landed on the right one.

Check it worked

• The planned session on your calendar now has a tick.
• There is only one entry for that session on that day.
• The bell no longer shows it.
