How Garmin's New 'Epic' Feature Helps Me See the Bigger Picture of My Training
Garmin's new logging feature, Garmin Epic, is getting buried in the launch of the latest Fenix 9 watch, but it deserves a headline of its own. It's a shareable digital travel journal for your big trip, being pitched by Garmin as the kind of thing you post after a major hike or race. Personally, I think that framing undersells it.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Garmin's new logging feature, Garmin Epic, is getting buried in the launch of the latest Fenix 9 watch, but it deserves a headline of its own. It's a shareable digital travel journal for your big trip, being pitched by Garmin as the kind of thing you post after a major hike or race. Personally, I think that framing undersells it. Epic is also a great training-analysis hack, and that's how I plan on using it for my upcoming marathon this fall.First things first: Garmin Epics are not to be confused with Garmin's older watch line, epix, with an "x". This feature is Epic, with a "c". The names are close enough that searching for one turns up the other, so double-check the spelling.
