Duplicate/save training plan workouts to workouts

Former Member
Former Member over 5 years ago

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to save parts of a training plan to my workouts? 
I.e making it available to schedule independent from the training plan. 


Alternativley, does anyone know if it is possible to download or share  individual workouts?
Lets say I want to share my interval wourkout with a friend.
(So far I´ve only found an extension for chrome that does that).

Thanks!

    EDIT (June 11, 2023):

    - Updated script to fix "402 Payment Required error". Changed setup instructions so that converting the original script to a bookmarklet is a separate step

    I don't think any of those Chrome extensions work anymore, due to changes in Garmin Connect.

    There is a way to download workouts from Garmin Connect, but it's not super-friendly (at least not to set up). Unfortunately, importing downloaded workouts currently requires connecting the watch to a computer using the cable, which may be a dealbreaker.

    This technique for downloading workouts from Garmin Connect should work on any web browser (PC, Mac or mobile), although the setup process is easier on a computer as opposed to a phone.

    Initial Setup

    1) Open https://pastebin.com/xtv4SxXK

    2) Click raw

    3) Select all text and copy it to clipboard
    Windows: CTRL-A, CTRL-C
    Mac: CMD-A, CMD-C

    4) Open https://caiorss.github.io/bookmarklet-maker/

    5) Paste text from 3) into Code field

    6) Click Generate Bookmarklet

    7) If you're on a computer, you can simply drag the blue Bookmarklet button to your bookmarks bar. In Firefox you can also right-click and select Bookmark Link. If you've done this, skip to step 11) below

    8) If you're on mobile or you didn't do step 7 for some other reason, select all the text in the Output field and copy it to your clipboard

    9) Bookmark any site at all

    10) Edit the bookmark and paste the text from 8) into the address/URL field

    11) Change the bookmark name to "Download Connect Workout", or whatever you want.

    You now have a bookmarklet that will allow you to download workout FIT files.


    Download Workout from Garmin Connect

    1) Log in to Garmin Connect (Web)

    2) Navigate to workout

    3) Click on the "Download Connect Workout" bookmark

    The workout FIT file will be downloaded, and you can now send it to a friend who will be able to import the workout using the following steps.


    Import Workout to Device     (requires PC/Mac)

    1) Close Garmin Express on your PC/Mac if it's open

    2) Connect PC/Mac to watch with charging cable

    If you have a watch that supports music and a Mac, you need Android File Transfer

    3) Copy the previously downloaded workout FIT file to the \GARMIN\NEWFILES\ folder on the watch

    For me this doesn´t work. When I hit the bookmark, it just loads the page and the script is shown. What is this script for at all? I didn´t get it.

    What I did, is to copy&paste the workouts from the garmin device´s directory "WORKOUTS/SCHEDULE" (only the last 5 are shown) into the directory "NEWFILES". Then they appear on the device, but not in Connect App/Connect Web. So I can´t activate them via app, just by the device and can´t change the name or anything.

    Any suggestions?

    The point of the script is to be able to download a workout FIT file directly from Garmin Connect, without connecting your device to your computer.

    The bookmark should be set to the contents of the script itself (i.e. "javascript..."), not the link to the script. Sorry for not making that clear.

    Unfortunately there isn't any current known way to import a workout FIT file into Garmin Connect.

    Hi, thank you a lot! I set up all steps as you mentioned, but no download starts. What to do? Thanks

    Hey, thanks for the reply! A while ago, Garmin made a change to their site which breaks scripts like that, but there's an easy fix.

    I've updated my comment with a new script (and setup instructions). One notable change is due to the length of the script, and for the sake of transparency, I've now posted the full unobscured text of the original script, and instructions to convert it to a bookmarklet yourself (using a 3rd-party site.)
