Connect a watch and read recovery
Pair a device once, let it sync overnight, and read recovery and sleep the next morning.
Pair your device once, sleep with it on, and your recovery and sleep are waiting in Yarmill the next morning — no logging required.
Before you start
You'll need an account with the device provider you want to connect (for example a Garmin Connect, Oura, or WHOOP account) and permission to grant Yarmill access to it. Each athlete connects their own devices on their own Settings page — coaches read the imported data downstream rather than managing connections. The connectors available to you are configured per team, so your list may differ from the examples here. See Devices & integrations for the full picture.
What you'll do
You'll connect one device, confirm its data is flowing, check your heart-rate zones, and read your recovery the next morning. By the end you'll have:
- a device connected on your Settings → Applications & devices page;
- activities (and sleep, if you wear it at night) landing automatically under the day in your Training Log;
- your heart-rate zones set in Yarmill, so time-in-zone is computed consistently;
- recovery and sleep showing up in Analytics the next morning.
Steps
Go to Settings → Personal and find the Applications & devices section. It lists one row per service, each with a short description and a Connect / Disconnect button.
Find your provider in the list and select Connect, then confirm the connection in the provider's own account when prompted. A connector you've already linked shows Disconnect instead, so you can see at a glance what's active.
Imported data arrives from the next sync — the first one typically lands overnight, so if you've just connected, an empty day is expected rather than a problem. From then on, recorded activities (and sleep, if you wear the device at night) appear automatically under the right day in your Training Log, below the day's entry.
For Garmin, enable both activity and sleep in Garmin Connect so both flow in.
On the same Settings → Personal page, open the Heart Rate Zones section and confirm your zones. Yarmill computes time-in-zone with its own algorithm from the raw device data, independent of watch brand — so set your bands (Z0–Z5) here, scoped per discipline and with validity dates, rather than relying on the watch.
Open Analytics and find the Recovery indicators report — recovery metrics from your connected device over the selected period (for example resting heart rate, HRV, sleep duration, or a device readiness score), each typically shown with a 7-day rolling average. This needs a device you sleep with; without one the report is empty. Your recovery also feeds the Team daily readiness board.
