Managing Workouts

When you import a recorded session from your GPS unit or iPod, TrailRunner will display a chart depicting the recorded data over the accomplished distance like in the picture below.


Whatever data is available from the recording, the workout chart will display lines for heart-rate and speed. To further analyze your workout the chart has some additional interactive functionalities:

Routes and Workouts

When you import a workout from either your iPod or your Garmin device the workout data will be attached to the displayed route.

Because the route can be merged with existing tracks in your document, the workout and the routes course are two separated things. This means that the workout chart being displayed must not be totally equal to the routes merged course and is possibly scaled to match the routes distance. So if you change the route, the workout chart might not necessarily reflect the changes.

Please also note that if you want to save a workout, the diary is the place where you should store it. When you add a diary entry for a selected route, any workout attached will be taken over and is being archived in the diary.

And while we're at it, for the reverse, any workout attached to an entry in the diary can be merged back as a route into any other document.
