Connect not transferring plans to training calendar (it thinks it is though)-FIXED

Former Member
Former Member over 8 years ago
Please help me.... please... I need to get some sleep!
For 3 days I've tried to download training plans to my 235, they are in my Training calendar in Connect on my PC and they appear in the Calendar on my Connect app on my android phone but they do not appear in the training calendar in my 235. I've searched forums and tried fixes but no luck. Here's what happens and what I've done;
Put Garmin training plan into Connect calendar and sent to device (arrow in top R corner). Express opens and sends 43 activities to 235 via USB.
Open training calendar in 235 and message reads 'download your training calendar from garmin connect.'
So, nothing in training calendar but each activity has been placed in My Workouts in the 235, which is no good to me, I want to know what I need to do on a given day by pressing a button on my watch Training-Calendar-Today-Do Workout (which I've done for the last few months for a previous training plan).
I've completed a marathon training plan using the calendar without a problem but I can't get it to work now.

Here's what I've tried to resolve the issue;
Sign in and out of Connect after clearing history and cache on 2 computers using IE, Chrome and Edge browsers.
Disabled adblock and security settings.
Deleted training plans and workouts from calendar and then rescheduled them anew.
Checked and unchecked the activities in Calendar (2 little lines left side of Calendar view).
Synced the 235 around 40 times, checking/changing settings etc. but still the same message 'download your training calendar from garmin connect.'
Please help...........

    @TUKKEROO and Tundrawolwes,
    What type of workouts have you added to the Training Calendar, and how long ago were they created?


    thanks for following up, this is what I did:

    1) followed the steps of deleting the workouts folder
    2) synced my existing GC calendar and that worked as other forum members are reporting

    3) I then added 1 swim workout to my GC calendar for 6 March. The workout was created on 22 Jan 2017 and hasn't been edited since.
    4) When I sync my calendar to my 920XT, it doesn't add the workout mentioned above.

    Hello I am new to Forerunner 235 and also this forum.

    Back to a few days ago when I tried to sync workout (which is a Garmin 10km training plan and is shown in my workout calendar on Garmin Connect iOS app) to my 235, nothing showed up in the Training Calendar session on the 235. So I checked this forum and thought that it is not only my problem. I therefore manually sync the workup to 235 and it worked well. Today when I knew that the problem is fixed, I deleted every single workout which are currently on my 235. After syncing again, the Training Calendar is still empty, showing "Download your training calendar from Garmin Connect". Do I need to manually press any specific button at the Calendar session to make the sync?

    I wonder what I did wrong. Please help.

    Training plans not syncing properly

    This seems to be a long term problem. I synced an Olympic training schedule to my calendar. Everything except the swim sessions comes across.

    I've printed out the training plan as a temporary but accurate fix.😟

    Not quite what you would expect to have to do having spent over 700 euro on a watch and bike computer. Is there a fix for this in sight?

    You need to click on the button in the top right corner of the Calendar page in Garmin Connect online, then select Send Workouts to Device on the drop-down menu.

    What version of Chrome are you running?

    I've verified the Calendar has the "Send W/O to Device" on Chrome Version 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit), running on Windows 10, as shown below:
