After 10 long flights over the pond in 2025, I’m nerd-spinning and reverse-engineering the Garmin Web API to understand my recovery telemetry from a Forerunner 955. The result is garmin-cli — it’s working, and brew installation instructions are coming next.
The brief analysis in the screenshot explains why it’s so hard for me to maintain racing fitness while traveling this often: it takes about a week to recover from each flight — plus the full journey back home, including a 3-hour drive from the airport.
And this is where the Garmin Connect iOS app starts to feel like software from a different era.
If you know someone at Garmin I could talk to, I’d love an intro! Be kind to your body. Get some good rest this weekend.
