Scheduled Workouts in Calendar or custom coach/Training plans

I would like to see the the workouts that I have scheduled in the app, show up in the calendar widget. And let us launch the workout by selecting it in the Calendar Widget.

Or, allow us to make our own Training plans that use the coach widget. That system is nice, and it is what I am trying to replicate.

It seems pointless to schedule workouts, when they don't even come up in the calendar widget on my watch. Feels like I am missing something.

Thanks

You need to Send the calendar to your device, that will also deliver the workouts.

OK, I must be having a problem. When i hit send to device, i get another window that says X number of workouts will be sent to the device, I click send now. Then the little running dude pops up, and goes away in less then a second. I go back to the main screen, it sync with the device.

When i go back to the calendar widget on the device, nothing.

I thought there was something wrong with that. Thanks for confirming. I will post this in the trouble shooting forum.

It sounds like you are looking at the calendar widget, which does not display your Garmin Connect calendar, instead it shows what is on your phone's calendar. You need to look at the training calendar on your device. Not sure which device you have but on the Fenix 5 to get to the workout calendar you press Start then hold down Menu and then select Training>Training Calendar and it will list your scheduled workouts and let you select one.

If you want it on the calendar widget, you could probably find a way to sync your training calendar with your phone's calendar using Exchange but I haven't really looked into that. Another option could be a separate ConnectIQ widget for the training calendar if one exists.

I appreciate you help on this one. I'm new to this deviceI am apparently confusing two separate tools., I am on the Fenix 5+ which worked just like you said.

I'm on a fenix 5x+, is there a quicker way to view your training plan for the day? Like how Garmin Coach is implemented. That would be ideal.

Also, swim training workouts aren't available? They only show up as notes in my training calendar. Is it because Garmin doesn't want us pushing buttons in the pool?

The swim workouts are notes because when the training plans were first added to Garmin Connect none of the devices had structured swim workouts. It's a bit of a pain but you can create actual swim workouts following the notes and then add them to your calendar and they will add to the training plan if you tell it to.

As far as I know there isn't a quicker way to view the Training Calendar, though I have the non plus version of the 5X so maybe there is on that watch.

I did just that. However I was not able to build the workout based on heart rate. I assume that is because heart rate is only available when the monitor is above water.
