Issue with TrainingPeaks workouts syncing to Garmin watch

I’ve got an Epix (gen 2) and noticed that workouts from TrainingPeaks are incomplete when they sync to the watch.

For example, today was a run that had some repeat intervals. Usually the watch would prompt me through those when doing the workout, but today it only gave me the one hard interval—no repeats.

If I view tomorrow’s workout on the watch via the training calendar, it is supposed to be a Fartlek run with 8 repeating intervals (as shown in TrainingPeaks), but the watch only shows 4 steps.

Is anyone else having similar issues? I only started having this problem today as I executed a similar workout from TrainingPeaks last Friday. I seem to recall applying a Garmin update to my Epix since then:(

I opened a case with TrainingPeaks, but they haven’t been able to resolve it yet. I can’t figure out if it’s a TrainingPeaks issue or a Garmin issue.

Hey everyone, cross posting a possible temp solution I found: Okay so I have been playing with this a bunch. My full workout will execute if I remove ALL notes from the workout. For example, for a warm-up…

Great. Is it only step notes or also workout notes?

0 Nick over 2 years ago in reply to phoglund_

I don't usually use the workout notes, so they were already blank. I was referring to step notes only.

Same issue using the Garmin Coach workouts. Chatted with Garmin Support who added me to the open case number PSC-414022. Had to upload screenshots and diagnostic report.

One more. I’ve seen it since Friday (2 days ago)

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to make this work as my workouts are from a training plan in TrainingPeaks that gets synced to my Garmin, and I'm not able to edit the workout in Garmin Connect. This is really frustrating and I hope that Garmin fixes the issue soon.

If anyone knows how to fix the issue with the notes in TrainingPeaks, please let me know.

same here! example from today: the workout consists of a warm-up, 9x repetitions of a combination of intervalls and a pause ending with a cool-down. Garmin "converts" this to a workout consisting of a warm-up, 1x intervall, 1x pause; so the 9x repetitions and the cool-down are ignored. this is only an example, btw., the problem exists with every workout of the TP trainingsplan:-(

It’s not an ideal workaround, but if you download the workout from your TrainingPeaks calendar as a FIT file and copy it to the Workouts folder of your watch, you can execute it manually on the watch from the Workout Library.

This is what I had to do with yesterday’s workout that only half transferred.

Having the exact same issue. Any workouts with an interval in training peaks get downloaded as 1x and everything past it is lost. Glad to know it's a bigger problem though because I was racking my brain trying to solve it.
