Garmin data, in your climb.
Ascend reads Garmin workouts, heart rate, and VO₂ max through the platform layer (Apple Health on iOS, Health Connect on Android). Direct Garmin Connect OAuth is on the Q3 roadmap.
Garmin + Ascend
- All Garmin devices supported (Forerunner, Fenix, Edge, Venu)
- Cardio sessions auto-import + count toward mountain elevation
- Heart rate streams feed the AI coach's readiness model
- Resting HR + VO₂ max picked up automatically
What it's not
- Direct Garmin Connect API in beta (waiting for partner approval)
- Until then, sync depends on Apple Health / Health Connect being on
