The goal analysis page provides several tools to visualize your performance:

  • Progress Chart: A line graph shows your cumulative progress against a target line for the selected time frame. The page also displays how far you are to go and whether you are ahead or behind your planned pace.
  • Overview Cards: View summary metrics such as your Average, Max, and Min performance during the period.
  • History Chart: A bar chart compares your performance across previous periods (e.g., total distance per year for the last several years).
