How to read your training dashboard

Use the dashboard to see your training over time. Start with one question, rather than trying to understand every chart at once.

Step by step

1. On the home screen, tap Dashboard in the grid.
2. Set the two filters at the top. Left is the sport. Right is the time window (it starts at the last 3 months). They control everything below.
3. Pick a tab. Summary shows totals and trends. Goal shows progress towards what you're chasing. Comparison shows this period against the one before.
4. Analysis has your coach read the charts and say what they mean. Suggestions says what to change next. Both are Pro features.
5. Start with one question, such as “Am I training more regularly?”, and look at the one chart that answers it.
6. Tap any chart to see the sessions behind it.
7. Tap the circular arrows to fetch everything fresh from your watch.
8. Tap the sliders icon to choose which charts appear. Switch off the ones you never read. Changes apply straight away, with no save button.

Where it goes wrong

• “A week looks empty. Did I lose my data?” No. An empty week means the data never came in or was never confirmed. Check the bell. It's almost never lost data.
• Comparing the wrong window. Trends compare recent weeks with the ones before, so changing the time window changes the comparison. Check the filter first.
• Forgetting your coach sees this too. Your coach reads the same data. If the dashboard has gaps from unconfirmed sessions, its advice has the same gaps.
• “My chart disappeared.” It was switched off in the sliders settings. Open them and switch it back on. Nothing is ever deleted, only hidden.
• Dashboard and home graph disagree. They are looking at different time windows. The dashboard follows its top filters; each home graph follows its own days chip. Match the windows and the numbers match.
• Judging progress from one day. Look at several sessions before deciding what a trend means.

Check it worked

• The sport and dates filters are what you meant.
• Nothing is waiting in the bell.
