Sync problems: Training calendar runs don't show up, workouts don't sync at all

For the past few weeks I've been unable to get my training plan from Garmin Connect to show up correctly on my Forerunner 235. When I navigate on the watch to "Training Calendar", it says to download your training calendar from Garmin Connect. I've tried this a gazillion times. I've wiped the entire watch back to factory settings multiple times, I've canceled and deleted my training plans and restarted with a different plan... without fail, none of the workouts show up in the training calendar on the watch. They are, however, hiding in the workouts section.

I've also discovered that new workouts that I make online with Garmin Connect aren't being synced. I've specifically gone into the app, selected the individual workout, sent it to the device, and Garmin Connect says it worked, the watch shows a transfer successfully finishes... no new workouts.

Anyone else having similar issues? And any idea how to fix it? I'm getting frustrated, the calendar view on the watch is key to keeping me on track.

    Same here with VA3, THANK YOU 3909529 as the work around you suggested worked! (Same as suggested by Sam_mcd).

    Potential work around, I've been using Fenix 3 HR and only 3 weeks of a training plan was being sent to the device and the option to sync the entire calendar disappeared. 

    Solution, on the pc app, manually move the plan forward or back by a day or two, then re-sync the device. It should update the calendar

    Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately, for me it’s not working. I have a Forerunner 45.

    My syncing stopped (AGAIN) and this work around did the trick. It's not terribly hard to change the date of the scheduled training plan but it is annoying and completely ridiculous that Garmin can't get this to work.

    This has been a problem now for years. Garmin knows about it. It comes and goes. They fix it (or it fixes itself) and then it reappears. This is not rocket science. This is sync. The original ipod was able to sync. My Briefcase in Windows 98 was able to sync. The Palm Pilot was able to sync. This is not new tech. Why is Garmin failing to figure this out? This should be a priority now and should take precedence over adding any new features to Garmin Connect.

    There are a lot of options to Garmin products. Yet when I bought my current watch, I didn't consider any of them, in part because of familiarity with Garmin Connect.  If Garmin Connect can't get the basics right then that's one more reason to consider a competitor for my next watch.

    I notice a few things about this issue. I have 2 Garmin devices. Garmin Instinct and FR620. The Garmin Instinct is syncronizing ok with no issues. However the FR620 it not showing anything added by the training plan. If I create a manual activity with the exact same steps as the one created with the training plan it appears ok on the watch.

    I did same as a lot of people. Hard reset, removing .FIT files but the problem is not related to the sync itself, it's about how the Garmin Connect page is dealing with what data should be pushed to watches and what should not.

    By the time that it still open on this forum I think Garmin will never fixed it. Maybe when they release a new Garmin Connect version.
