Training Calendars on mobile devices

Former Member over 11 years ago

Hi,

I am trying to find a way to show the training plans on any of the apps available for Iphone 5. I can see that there is Garmin Connect and Garmin Fit but neither of these show the training plans. When I am away from my computer (holidays etc) how to do I see the plan ?

Thanks for any help possible

One option is to subscribe to your workout calendar. If you go to the Garmin Connect calendar and click the little arrow near the top-right corner of the page, you can choose Publish Calendar. When you choose this option, it gives you the URL for the calendar. Once you have this, you can subscribe to the calendar from any software that supports the ics calendar format. In iOS, you can go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add Subscribed Calendar. Then enter the URL to your calendar data.

Unfortunately, this isn't perfect. Every 30 days or so, you'll have to go back and export the calendar data. At least that was an issue in the past. I'm not absolutely certain that it continues to be an issue or not.

For sure but this does not resolve the issue of showing on devices as the calendar is an external calender as opposed to syncing with the device.

Shame - hope that they fix this shortly

If you build your workout plan on Garmin Connnect and then upload to your device from there, then it is the calendar that is sync'd with your device. Additionally, this is the only way to do it that is consistent across devices since only a handful of devices are able to talk directly to an iPhone 5. Finally, if you are away from your computer for the holidays, but you have an iPhone 5, you still have access to the calendar via Garmin Connect.
