Advanced Configuration

You can also specify zones configuration in a separate file:

# zones.yaml
ftp: 275
max_heart_rate: 190

Customization

Custom Report Templates

You can customize report templates by modifying the files in visualizers/templates/:

• workout_report.html: HTML report template
• workout_report.md: Markdown report template
• summary_report.html: Summary report template

Adding New Analysis Metrics

Extend the WorkoutAnalyzer class in analyzers/workout_analyzer.py:

def analyze_custom_metric(self, workout: WorkoutData) -> dict:
    """Analyze custom metric."""
    # Your custom analysis logic here
    return {'custom_metric': value}

Custom Chart Types

Add new chart types in visualizers/chart_generator.py:

def generate_custom_chart(self, workout: WorkoutData, analysis: dict) -> str:
    """Generate custom chart."""
    # Your custom chart logic here
    return chart_path

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

File Not Found Errors

• Ensure file paths are correct and files exist
• Check file permissions

Garmin Connect Authentication

• Verify username and password in config
• Check internet connection
• Ensure Garmin Connect account is active

Missing Dependencies

• Run pip install -r requirements.txt
• For PDF support: pip install weasyprint

Performance Issues

• For large datasets, use batch processing
• Consider using --summary flag for multiple files

Debug Mode

Enable verbose logging for troubleshooting:

python main.py --verbose --file workout.fit --report
