====== Audio coach ======
(ex "training manager")
----
**Audio coach comments your performance** during a workout or a trip **with voice notifications** of your **actual or average speed, distance, pace, elevation, heart rate** and many other parameters.
It works with **training** schemes that are defined by the user and triggered together with [[manual:user_guide:tracks:recording|track recording]].
