Viewing and Managing Workouts

Learn how to navigate and explore your workouts in Tempo.

Dashboard Overview

Dashboard

The dashboard provides an overview of your running activity:

  • Weekly Statistics - Distance, time, and relative effort for the current week
  • Yearly Statistics - Annual totals and trends
  • Recent Workouts - Quick access to your latest activities
  • Relative Effort Graph - Visual representation of workout intensity over time
  • Best Efforts Chart - Your fastest times for standard distances (displayed below the Relative Effort graph)
  • Charts and Graphs - Additional visual representations of your progress

Activities List

My Activities

The activities list shows all your imported workouts with:

  • Activity Name - Click to view details
  • Date and Time - When the workout occurred
  • Distance - Total distance covered
  • Duration - Total time
  • Pace - Average pace
  • Elevation - Elevation gain
  • Relative Effort - Workout intensity score

Filtering and Sorting

You can filter and sort activities by: - Date range - Distance - Duration - Activity type - Search by name

Workout Overview

Click any workout to open Workout overview — the command-center screen for one Workout (map, splits, time series, weather, media, comparison). Use the Overview and Route comparison tabs when similar routes exist.

Highlight

Map, splits, and time-series charts share one Highlight: a split index and/or elapsed seconds (or none). Hover or click a split, a chart point, or the route and the other two follow. Leaving the hover restores the unhighlighted overview.

Map View

  • Interactive Route Map - Visualize your route with Leaflet maps
  • Themed tiles - Dark Matter in Dark appearance, Voyager in Light (CARTO; attribution includes OpenStreetMap)
  • CARTO API key - CARTO now requires a free API key for basemap tiles. Without one, maps show an "API key required" watermark. Request a key at carto.com/basemaps/apikey, set CARTO_BASEMAPS_API_KEY in your deployment .env (see Configuration), restart the API, and hard-refresh the browser.
  • Zoom and Pan - Explore different parts of your route
  • Route stroke and Highlight colors follow the command-center identity (volt on dark; a dark stroke on light)

Statistics

Detailed metrics including: - Distance - Total distance in your preferred units - Time - On Workout overview, when FIT timer time differs from elapsed, the primary Duration is timer time with elapsed shown underneath; Moving Time appears under Additional Details only when it differs from that hero clock. Without timer, Moving Time still promotes over elapsed when they differ (same as before). Workout cards and the activities table show a single duration number (timer when it differs from elapsed; they do not promote moving). Analytics Duration sums remain elapsed. - Pace - Average, best, and current pace - Elevation - Gain, loss, min, and max elevation - Heart Rate - Average and max; when an HR series exists, Additional Details also shows time in zones 1–5 (with % of time that landed in a zone). Omit the zone block when there is no HR series - Cadence - Average and max cadence in steps per minute (spm), if available from FIT or GPX TrackPointExtension - Power - Average and max power (if available from FIT or GPX TrackPointExtension) - Relative Effort - Calculated intensity score - Shoe - Assigned running shoe (if any), showing brand, model, and current total mileage

You can also edit notes, RPE, run type, and shoe assignment on this screen.

Splits

The Splits table on Workout overview shows:

  • Split number
  • Distance
  • Time
  • Pace
  • Average heart rate (when available)

When the Workout has device laps (from a FIT file with 2+ kept lap messages), overview shows those laps — including a leftover fraction of a mile or kilometre — and lap times are timer time (pauses excluded). The heading stays Splits. Unit-preference still rebuilds distance-based km/mile rows only; device laps are preserved until crop or a fuller re-import.

Without device laps, splits are calculated from your unit preference (1 km metric, 1 mile imperial). Hover or click a split to set Highlight on the map and charts.

Time Series Charts

When sensor samples exist, Workout overview charts heart rate, pace (from speed), elevation, cadence, and power over elapsed time. A series with no samples is omitted. A Workout with no time series shows No sensor data instead of empty chart frames.

Cadence tooltips use spm (steps per minute). Power tooltips use W. Stored cadence or power of 0 (for example at a stop) is not plotted so the axis stays in the running band.

Temperature, speed, grade, and vertical speed remain in stored WorkoutTimeSeries when the file provided them; they are not charted on this screen.

For very long Workouts, the command center loads up to 20,000 samples (paged from GET /workouts/{id}/time-series) and still renders what it loaded.

Weather Information

Automatic weather data for the workout: - Temperature - Conditions - Wind speed - Humidity

Similar Routes

Tempo can automatically find workouts that follow similar routes: - Route Matching - Automatically finds workouts with similar paths based on route geometry - Similarity Score - Shows how closely routes match (0-100%) - Comparison View - Compare distance, time, and pace differences between similar routes - Route Comparison Tab - Visual side-by-side comparison of route overlays - Time Comparison - See how your performance has changed on the same route over time

How It Works: - Routes are matched based on start/end proximity, distance similarity, and route geometry - Only workouts from the last 2 years are considered (configurable) - Similar routes are automatically displayed on Workout overview - Click on any similar route to open that Workout's overview

Managing Workouts

Edit Workout

You can edit: - Activity Name - Change the name of the workout - Shoe Assignment - Assign, change, or remove the shoe associated with this workout - Use the edit control on Workout overview

Assigning a Shoe to a Workout

To assign or change the shoe for a workout:

  1. Open Workout overview
  2. Use the shoe field (or edit controls) on that screen
  3. Select a shoe from the dropdown list, or select "No Shoe" to remove the assignment
  4. Save your changes if prompted

Note: Changing a workout's shoe assignment will automatically update the total mileage for both the old and new shoes (if applicable). The workout's distance is added to the new shoe's total and removed from the old shoe's total.

Crop Workout

Remove time from the start or end of a workout: 1. Open Workout overview 2. Use the crop feature 3. Specify time to remove from start and/or end 4. Save changes

Crop rebuilds route, splits, time series, and elevation from the remaining TrackPoints through track geometry. Device session distance from the original FIT/GPX file is not reused on the trimmed Workout.

Delete Workout

To delete a workout: 1. Open Workout overview 2. Click the delete button 3. Confirm deletion

Warning: Deleting a workout permanently removes all associated data including route, splits, time-series data, and media.

Recalculate Metrics

You can recalculate: - Relative Effort - Recalculate based on current heart rate zone settings - Splits - Recalculate splits if you've changed unit preferences (replaces distance WorkoutSplit rows only; device laps are preserved when present; stored workout distance, duration, and elevation stay)

Statistics and Analytics
