Cardio is a first-class session type. Add activity type, targets, distance, duration, and notes alongside strength work.

A training day can be strength or cardio. Cardio days sit in the same program,
on the same calendar, and save into the same history.

  - **Activity type** Outdoor run, indoor run, bike, row, walk, and other supported activities.

  - **Target type** None, distance, duration, or distance plus duration, whichever the day
    calls for.

  - **Where it appears** Scheduled cardio shows up in the same iOS calendar flow as strength
    sessions, then saves into history when completed.

## Choosing a target type

  **Distance**

Use when the session is defined by how far: a 5k, a 40km ride. Duration
    becomes the outcome.

  **Duration**

Use for time-based conditioning: 30 minutes easy, 20 minutes on the rower.
    Distance becomes the outcome.

  **Both**

Use when the pace is the point: 5k in under 25 minutes. Method records both
    against the target.

> **No target is valid.** Leaving the target as None gives you a scheduled cardio day with no
>   prescription, useful when the instruction is simply "go for a run".
