Using Garmin Connect with Bellows

Keep training with your Garmin. Bellows brings its runs and rides into the same log as your lifting.

Every New Activity: Apple Health

If Garmin Connect is connected to Apple Health, Bellows can bring them in for you, now and as new ones arrive.

1. Open Bellows and go to You → Apple Health.
2. Choose how far back: the last 30 days, 1 year, or everything.
3. Tap Connect Apple Health and allow workouts, routes and heart rate.

Runs, rides, swims, walks and hikes come in with the route and heart rate when Health has them. New ones arrive on their own.

Older Activities: Files

1. On Garmin Connect on the web, open an activity, then gear icon → Export Original.
2. In Bellows, go to You → Import and Export → Runs and Rides from Other Apps and choose the file, or a .zip of several. Bellows reads .fit, .gpx and .tcx.

You get the route, splits, pace and heart rate the file holds.

Pick one way for each activity. Bringing the same run in from both Apple Health and a file can give you two copies.

What's Different in Bellows

Your watch records; Bellows is where the whole week comes together: runs, rides and lifting, a training block counting down to race day, and your own AI to plan it. See Set Up an Ultra Training Block.
