  • If automatic sync doesn’t occur, manually sync by selecting your device in the app and tapping “Sync.”

Accessing Your Running Data for Export

Once your data is synced, you can access and export your running activities through the Coros app or via the Coros website.

These tools allow you to review detailed metrics, visualize your progress, and plan future training sessions based on your data.
