Garmin advises safe summer training amid heat

Garmin recommends athletes adapt their summer workouts to higher temperatures by training at cooler times of day, lowering intensity when needed, and prioritising hydration and recovery. The company stresses that heat raises heart rate and perceived effort, so monitoring key health metrics is essential.

Garmin’s Venu 4 and vívoactive 6 smartwatches can help users track heart rate, hydration status and other indicators, allowing them to recognise when the body is under extra strain. Early‑morning sessions, reduced session length, and electrolyte replacement are also advised to maintain performance and safety during hot conditions.
