FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Velox — from setup to billing and privacy.

Getting started

What is Velox?

Velox turns your Garmin running data into clear analytics and AI coaching — training plans, race predictions, per-run analysis and injury-risk insights — all in one place.

Do I need a Garmin watch?

Yes. Velox syncs runs and wellness data from your Garmin Connect account, so a Garmin device is what powers everything. Connecting takes about a minute.

Which Garmin devices are supported?

Any device that syncs to Garmin Connect — Forerunner, Fenix, Venu, Vivoactive, Epix and more. Velox reads from your Garmin Connect account, so if your runs show up there, they'll show up in Velox.

How long does setup take?

About a minute. You link your Garmin account once; your most recent runs import straight away so you see data immediately, and the rest of your history backfills automatically in the background.

Is there a free version?

Yes. The free tier gives you full Garmin analytics — your dashboard, run details, charts, route maps and health tracking — forever. The AI coaching features are part of Pro.

Is there an app, or is it web-only?

Velox runs in any modern browser and is fully responsive on phones, tablets and desktop. You can add it to your home screen for an app-like experience — no app store needed.

Training & AI

How are the training plans made?

Plans are periodised and pace-targeted using the Daniels VDOT model calibrated to your VO₂ max and recent training, then assembled by AI into a week-by-week schedule with structured warm-ups, intervals and long runs.

Which race distances can I train for?

5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon. Tell Velox your goal race and target date, and it builds a plan that ramps your volume and sharpens your fitness toward race day.

Will it work for my level?

Yes — from your first 5K to chasing a marathon PB. Plans and paces calibrate to your actual fitness (and a quick self-rating when you're new), so the training is always pitched to you.

Can I send the workouts to my watch?

With Pro, yes. Structured sessions push straight to your Garmin calendar, so the watch guides you through each interval with pace targets on the run — no need to memorise the plan.

How accurate are the race predictions?

Finish times are computed from your VDOT using the same validated physiological model coaches rely on — not a guess — and each distance carries an honest confidence rating based on your data. They sharpen as you log more runs.

What is the injury-risk insight?

Velox tracks your acute-to-chronic workload ratio (ACWR) — this week's load versus your recent baseline — and flags when you're ramping up faster than is safe, so you can back off before a niggle becomes an injury.

Billing

How much does Pro cost?

£9.99/month or £99.99/year (roughly 17% off — about £8.33/month). Every Pro subscription starts with a 7-day free trial, and you can cancel anytime.

How does the free trial work?

Pro starts with a 7-day free trial with full access to every feature. Your card isn't charged until the trial ends, and if you cancel before then you won't be charged at all.

Can I cancel anytime?

Absolutely. Manage or cancel your subscription from Settings → Billing at any time. You keep Pro access until the end of your current billing period.

What happens to my data if I downgrade?

Nothing is lost. Your runs, history and analytics stay exactly as they are on the free tier — you simply lose access to the AI coaching features until you upgrade again.

Can I switch between monthly and yearly?

Yes. Open the billing portal from Settings → Billing to switch plans or update your payment details whenever you like.

Data & privacy

Is my Garmin password stored?

No. Your Garmin password is used once, in memory, to create a secure access token — it is never saved. Only that token is kept, encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Your Garmin token is encrypted, your app password is stored only as a bcrypt hash, and private pages are kept out of search engines. Your data is used to power your analytics and coaching — nothing else.

Do you sell my data?

Never. We don't sell or share your personal data. Velox only uses your data to deliver the analytics and AI coaching you signed up for.

Can I export or delete my data?

Anytime. You can export your data from Settings, and deleting your account permanently removes your runs, health data and personal details from Velox.
