Sharing a Workout on Garmin Connect

Former Member over 11 years ago

Hey Forum,
I am new to the devices and I would like to share a workout I created with my girlfriend and training partner but cannot seem to figure out how. If anyone had any tips on how it would be greatly appreciated.

Please, dear Garmin, can we have this feature? Means groups of friends can all follow similar workouts together - would make Garmin Connect a so much more powerful tool...!!

I don't know about training plans but you can share a run with people who did it with you but didn't have their watch with them at that time. Go to the Garmin Connect website. Open your run. Then click on the Option wheel and select export original. It's a zip that contains a FIT file. People should be able to import this FIT file in their Garmin Connect.

thanks trux this works well as I have successfully copied a friend's workout and can now see it on my 645M

is there a way to import the FIT file so it is also visible via Garmin Connect?

Hi all – I’m working on a website that will allow people to share Garmin workouts with friends or groups. And share them as easily as sending a message, none of this complex download .fit file stuff.

I’m still in the early stages of development and I’m looking for some Garmin user feedback.

You can read more about the project + ask for features by filling in this questionnaire:

Thanks!
