Workout saved was completely wrong during actual run

kd360

As I have done countless times I:

  • Created a run workout in Garmin Connect
  • Named it
  • Saved it
  • Pulled it into my calendar for today
  • Uploaded it to my Fenix 8
  • Checked that it was there (it was)
  • Went for my run
  • First 2 mile warm up split was fine
  • Then the watch basically did another workout. I could not follow it so I just used the pace, timer and distance function manually. 

This is NOT the first time this has happened.

Yes, the right workout was saved

Yes, it was save for today's date

Yes, it was the workout I chose on my Fenix 8

Any clues?

    Not really, but the next time, before starting the workout, step through it, and review whether it shows the expected steps.

    If you look at the workout on the watch now. Is it the same as in Garmin Connect or is it the other workout?

    Do you have other workouts stored on the watch? Are they named similar? If the workout name starts with 15 same characters it will not work as intended. Try to name the start of the workouts differently. For example with a unique number.

    "NOTE: When naming workouts, keep in mind that most devices have a limit where they only look at the first 15 characters in the name of a workout. If you have multiple workouts where the first 15 characters are the same, the device will think they are the same workout. To work around this limitation, make sure the names vary within the first 15 characters."
