Reading activity data

Outing counts and durations are factual records, not performance scores. A week with fewer outings may reflect scheduling, a difficult period, or a deliberate decision to consolidate rather than push further.

Trends across multiple weeks are more informative than single-week snapshots. A gradual increase in duration or distance is meaningful; one longer outing does not establish a pattern.

Use the data to inform conversations, not to set expectations. Asking "what made last Tuesday's outing work?" is usually more useful than noting that this week's count is lower.
