Running
On your Garmin mid-run, on the curve after it, on Strava for your club. Ando works with the sensor you already wear and the watch you already run with.
Before, during, after
Before you head out
Tap Live and pick one, two or four hours. Your glucose sits on your lock screen, in your Apple Watch Smart Stack or in a quiet notification on your Galaxy or Pixel Watch, for a glance at the start line.
On the run
On a Garmin, the Ando Glucose data field shows your latest reading on your run screen, updated every five minutes, for the whole run however long it lasts. Garmin Connect charts it afterwards.
After the run
The run arrives in Ando with its glucose curve from before the start to an hour after, pace and heart rate alongside. Log your gels to see them on the line. On Strava, a glucose block tells your club how it went.
Your setup
| You run with | During the run | After the run |
|---|---|---|
| A Garmin | Ando Glucose data field on your run screen | Garmin Connect chart, run in Ando, Strava block |
| An Apple Watch | Live in the Smart Stack (iOS 18) | Run from Apple Health in Ando, Strava block |
| A Galaxy or Pixel Watch | Live notification on the watch | Run through Strava or Fitbit in Ando |
| Just your phone | Live on the lock screen | Run through Strava in Ando |
Easy runs and intervals
An easy run and a set of intervals can push your glucose in opposite directions, and race-day nerves add their own twist. Our article why glucose goes up, or down, during exercise explains the common patterns, and CGM delay why your sensor can look a few minutes behind when things move fast.
The best teacher is your own history: with every run in Ando, you can put similar sessions side by side and see your pattern.
FAQ
On a Garmin, add the Ando Glucose data field to your run screen: your glucose shows next to pace and heart rate for the whole run. On an Apple Watch, Galaxy Watch or Pixel Watch, start Live before you head out.
Yes. The Garmin data field runs for as long as the activity timer does. Live lasts up to four hours per session; for longer events, the data field covers the whole race.
Yes. Open the run in Ando, tap Add carbs and log each gel with its time. Each one becomes a marker on the curve, and the run’s carbs total adds up what you took during it.
If you connect Strava, Ando adds a short glucose block to your activity descriptions: time in range, average, minimum and maximum, with a link to the full curve. One switch turns it off.
