Cardio Tracking – GPS Route Tracking & Performance Metrics
Track running, cycling, swimming, and other cardio activities. GPS route tracking for outdoor sessions, pace, distance, heart rate monitoring, and detailed performance metrics.
What This Feature Solves
Many fitness apps treat cardio as an afterthought or require separate apps for running, cycling, and other activities. This fragmentation makes it hard to see how cardio fits into your overall training plan alongside strength training, nutrition, and recovery.
DelayedOnset™'s cardio tracking integrates cardiovascular activities directly into your unified timeline. Whether you're running outdoors with GPS, cycling, swimming, or using cardio machines indoors, every session appears alongside your workouts, nutrition, and recovery—so you can see how cardio affects and relates to everything else.
With GPS route tracking for outdoor activities, automatic pace and distance calculation, and support for both live session recording and retrospective logging, you can track cardio activities the way that works best for you.
How It Works
1Choose Your Activity Type
Select from running, cycling, swimming, rowing, walking, elliptical, treadmill, or other cardio activities. Choose whether you're tracking live (with GPS) or logging a past session.
2Track Your Session
For live outdoor sessions, GPS tracks your route in real-time, automatically calculating distance, pace, and route visualization. For indoor sessions or retrospective logging, manually enter duration, distance, pace, and other metrics.
3Log Additional Metrics
Add heart rate (average and max), Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE), elevation gain, notes, and other details. The more data you log, the better you can understand performance trends.
4See It on Your Timeline
Your cardio session appears on your unified timeline alongside workouts, nutrition, recovery, and sleep. See how cardio intensity relates to recovery needs, how nutrition timing affects performance, and how training load balances with cardiovascular fitness.

Who This Is For
Endurance Athletes
If you run, cycle, swim, or do other cardio activities regularly, track them in the same timeline as your strength training. See how cardio and strength work together.
Mixed Training Athletes
When you combine strength training with cardio, seeing both on one timeline helps you balance training load, plan recovery, and understand how different activities affect each other.
Outdoor Activity Enthusiasts
If you love outdoor running, cycling, or walking with GPS tracking, record routes and see how outdoor activities relate to your overall fitness picture.
How Cardio Tracking Connects to Other Features
Cardio activities are part of your complete fitness picture. They connect to everything:
- Timeline: Every cardio session appears chronologically on your unified timeline, so you can see cardiovascular training in context with strength workouts, nutrition, recovery, and sleep.
- Workout Tracking: See how cardio and strength training balance each other. Understand total training load and plan recovery accordingly.
- Nutrition: Understand how nutrition timing relates to cardio performance. See how pre- and post-cardio nutrition affects your sessions.
- Recovery & Sleep: Connect cardio intensity and volume to recovery needs and sleep quality. See how cardiovascular training affects rest requirements.
- AI Insights: AI analyzes cardio patterns alongside strength training, nutrition, and recovery to identify relationships and suggest adjustments for balanced training.
