How to talk to your coach out loud

A real voice conversation with a coach who knows your goal, your plan, every session, your Garmin health and what you agreed last time.

Step by step

1. Open Talk to your coach and tap Start talking.
2. Just talk. Interrupt whenever you like.
3. Prefer to type? Tap Keyboard at any time.
4. Your coach can change your calendar, but only after reading the exact change back to you and hearing your yes. Every change has Undo.
5. Changing several days? Say them all at once. Your coach reads them all back, and you say yes once.
6. Ask something that needs real thought, like “why”, “what should I do” or “plan my week”. Your coach says it's thinking, then takes about half a minute to work it out from all your data.
7. A (1) on the button after a run means your coach wants to talk it through. Say how it went, approve the note, and it's saved and confirmed in your calendar.
8. Driving? Use Car mode: just the orb and two big buttons.
9. Tap 🎚 mid-conversation to slide the coach's style (gentle to brutal) and depth. It changes from the next sentence.

Where it goes wrong

• Running out of time mid-chat. Voice time is limited each day. The ring around the orb shows what's left. Say goodbye and your coach wraps up properly instead of cutting off.
• Expecting instant deep answers. Quick questions are instant. Real analysis takes about 30 seconds while your coach reads your data. It tells you when it's thinking. That's normal.
• Assuming things are saved. Memory saves need your yes: “shall I remember that?” If it didn't ask, it isn't saved.
• Wanting a harsher coach. Slide the style. “Let your coach swear” under the slider stays off unless you turn it on.

Check it worked

• Any change you agreed shows on your calendar.
• Notes you approved show on the right session.
