Custom duathlon workout - Garmin Connect

Hi all,

How can we create a workout specifically for duathlon with specific targets in Garmin Connect?

For example, in one workout run 1Km @ Z3, cycle 10Km @Z2, run 500m @Z1 etc?
We only have an option to create individual workout based on type (run or bike) and set the targets there but not all in one workout. On the other hand, If we create a custom workout, we can’t specify the type of activity, just the targets.

Is this somehow possible to create a workout like that or do we have to use some other tool?

Regards

Maybe I'm wrong but I think that multisport workouts are not supported, neither by Garmin Connect, nor by your watch.

Hi tmk2,

Thanks for your response.
I have seen some training plans sold online but most of them are in Training peaks. They mention that you can sync it with Garmin Connect (and i assume the watch) and train like that. Do you think that something like that is the only option here?

I don't think it would work the way you expect. I never used training peaks training plans, so I don't know the details, but garmin watches simply do not support multisport workouts. I don't think it would be possible to import a brick workout from training peaks into garmin connect directly without converting it into separate single-sport workouts.

That is a bit dissapointing...

Thank you tmk2!

You can configure Alerts under your activity type on the device to set boundaries for your activity. Therefore you can set an Alert under Running for Z3. This will also be reflected in a multisport activity.
