Outdoor GPS cardio

Outdoor cardio is GPS-tracked run, walk, hike, or cycle — not gym sets. Strength workouts do not use GPS.

Start an outdoor session

1. Open Workouts → Outdoor.
2. Choose run, walk, hike, cycle, or other.
3. Start tracking. You’ll see a live map, pace, distance, and duration.
4. Pause and resume as needed. Recording continues in the background with the screen off while the session is active.
5. End the session for a summary: map, stats, and Hammr Score.

History lives in Run History with full map replay. You can share a route map card or a stats card.

Scoring at a glance

• Hammr Score grades that session 0–100.
• Hammr Cardio Score is a rolling average of recent sessions.
• Fitness / Freshness is longer-term load vs fatigue.

Location and privacy

Hammr collects precise GPS only during an active outdoor session, including background location while that session is running. GPS is not used for gym workouts and is not sold. Yesterday’s long run can still change tomorrow’s Readiness because outdoor load lives in the same account as lifting and food.
