Session Features
This section describes the session features which are in common for all of our Garmin Connect IQ™ applications. The current session status is indicated by a specific color of the header and footer. Following table provides an overview about all possible states of a training session.
| Session Status | Header/Footer Color | Description |
| NOT STARTED | GREY | Session not started so far. This is the state after starting the app. |
| RUNNING | GREEN |
Session is running. This is the case after you manually pressed the <START> button. In apps with Auto-Stop feature, the speed must be above the specified limit.
In the Skiing App this color indicates that the RUN phase is active. |
| AUTO-STOP | LIGHT BLUE | Session is in Auto-Stop mode which means that the speed is below the user-defined speed limit. |
| PAUSED | DARK RED | Session was manually paused by via <START> button and selection of <BACK>. |
| UP | ORANGE | This color is only used in the Skiing App and indicates that the UP phase is active. |
Start a Training Session:
After starting the app the session has to be manually started. This can be done by pressing the <START> button as shown in following picture.
The session status changes from "NOT STARTED" to "STARTED". This is indicated by showing the header/footer in GREEN color as shown in the picture below.
Auto-Stop Mode:
Whenever the speed goes below an app-specific limit the app automatically enters the "AUTO-STOP" mode. When the speed goes above the app-specific limit the app enters "RUNNING" mode again. This is indicated by showing the header/footer in "LIGHT BLUE" color as shown in the picture below.
Manually Paused Session:
The user can manually pause at any time a session with status "RUNNING" or "AUTO-STOP". This can be done by pressing the <START> button again as shown in following picture.
After pressing the <START> button the session is stopped and the user can select among following choices by either pressing the touch screen or by up/down or left/right buttons:
| User Selection | Description |
| Resume | Start or resume session |
| Restart Intervals | Restart the intervals (only available in the Interval Training App) |
