So next I’ll choose Training Peaks, and complete the same thing: Once I’ve done that, you’ll see how ‘Garmin Connect’ is shown on the upper half with ‘Connected’ next to it, while the others are down below indicating they aren’t connected to yet. In my case, I’ll start with Garmin Connect first: We’ll start off with Tapiriik from the very beginning, which takes you here, to their landing page to select which services you want to connect to. With that, let’s run through the three I’m aware of today. Ultimately though, these solutions do offer users a great way to quickly and seamlessly get data from Garmin Connect to 3rd party sites. Sometimes that works well, but other times that’s caused some ripples between Garmin and 3rd party apps – such as with CopyMySports earlier this year being throttled from an activity polling standpoint. Thus most of these 3rd party applications have had to spend a bit of time reverse engineering how things work. While Garmin Connect does have an API available, that API isn’t well documented, nor supported at all, and hasn’t been updated in years. That’s largely due to the fact that Garmin has been less than entirely easy when it comes to getting data where end users plan to analyze it. It is in some ways ironic that with increased connectivity has come more complexity in getting files where you want them. These middle-man sites operate by copying your activity data automatically upon detection of a new activity being uploaded, to the final destination of your choice. Improve your wellbeing and health, read this very good book Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams, by Matthew Walker.With the rise of connected devices that automatically upload your rides and runs upon completion to Garmin Connect, there’s been a corresponding rise in usage of 3rd party sites that synchronize that data to other training log platforms such as Strava and Training Peaks. If possible, avoid medicines that delay or disrupt your sleep.Avoid large meals and beverages late at night.Avoid caffeine and nicotine, before going to sleep.Exercise is great, but not too late in the day.Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day Then we may remember what it feels like to be truly awake during the day, infused with the very deepest plenitude of being. In doing so, we can be reunited with that most powerful elixir of wellness and vitality, dispensed through every conceivable biological pathway. I believe it is time for us to reclaim our right to a full night of sleep, without embarrassment or the damaging stigma of laziness. If we wish to avoid the suffocating noose of sleep neglect, the premature death it inflicts, and the sickening health it invites, a radical shift in our personal, cultural, professional, and societal appreciation of sleep must occur. This silent sleep loss epidemic is the greatest public health challenge we face in the twenty-first century in developed nations. As a result, the decimation of sleep throughout industrialized nations is having a catastrophic impact on our health, our life expectancy, our safety, our productivity, and the education of our children. Within the space of a mere hundred years, human beings have abandoned their biologically mandated need for adequate sleep-one that evolution spent 3,400,000 years perfecting in service of life-support functions. A very good book by Matthew Walker explains why we sleep and the benefits of sleeping well and long enough (at least 8 hours/day).
