Assign activity to training plan session

Former Member

Hello,
is there any way, how to assign imported activity to specific training plan session? Can I then mark this session as completed? I run with mobile phone on my vacation, I forgot garmin device at home. Then I import activity manually from gpx file, but I can't merge it with training plan.

Thank you.

    Hi, same question as above - 

    I started a coach plan and went for the first session without following it from the plan

    Thanks:)

    Same Problem. It would be nice to have this function!

    Amazing that the issue was there 7 years ago (2013) and in 2020 this is still something that can't be done?  It just so happened that  I somehow started my run this morning not using the Garmin Coach workout loaded on my watch.  I knew what the plan called for so rather than stop it and start again when I realized my error, I kept going thinking the two could very likely be merged.  Now I sit here wondering how the heck do I merge my completed run into my Garmin Training workout plan for the day.  I don't see any way to do this.  My plan says I still need to complete my 40-minute run today.  Below that is the 40-minute run I completed.  The two are passing ships in the night.  Surely there has to be a way to say my 40-minute run and merge the two together?  G'mon Garmin. How does one do this?

    So my wife came up with a workaround after not setting her correct training run tonight.

    Take note of all of the parts of your activity (total time, distance, min max cadence, HR, calories etc). Don't bother noting individual lap info as you can't update it.

    Start your training run activity on your activity tracker (watch, bike unit etc)

    Lap through the steps in the workout by just repeatedly hitting the lap button until the workout is complete.

    Save it with no details and let it sync to Garmin connect.

    Go back to the app and edit the activity. Update everything you can with the details from your original activity.

    This should satisfy your coach and let you move on to the next scheduled training program workout.

    While this may not be an ideal solution, Garmin coach does recognise the activity and works off the averages.

    You can choose if you want to delete the original activity (or just remove the duplicate against your gear if you want to keep that up to date.)

    They need to let you link an activity to a workout like Strava does.

    Hope this helps some of you.

    Ten years later, a design consideration that should have appeared on a whiteboard on the 2nd day of fleshing out a 'calendar' concept continues to haunt us. If nobody competent was in any of those meetings, there should have been a requirement change when it became obvious that Strava and FInalSurge (and others) had means for the obvious need to be able to merge planned vs. actual activities.  I'm doing my first Garmin Coach plan, and the only clue I get that my workout might have satisfied the planned activity is the "Execution Score" on the uploaded activity.

    I have developed a truly dim view of the Engineering department of Garmin, notably for wearables' users' online experience - the Chief Engineer should have been shown the door some years ago, IMHO.
