Training Calendar Won't Sync to Watch - "Download your training calendar from Garmin Connect" Error

Hi! I started a Garmin coach-training plan on Garmin Connect (does not solve anything to start the plan on the phone). In my wildest I though that the calendar would be synced to the watch and suggest the scheduled activities whenever I do an activity on the watch (running). However, the activities does not get recommended and when I navigate to the training calendar and press it get the message ”Download your training calendar from Garmin Connect” 

The key thing(s) is that all the activities are in both Garmin Connect on the web and in the app. But I really can’t find how to download it. Anyone who can help? 

Firmware 19.34
Garmin connect App: 5.27

The usual, technical, stuff I tried:  

  • Restarted watch, phone, and all related devices
  • Cleared sync cache in Garmin Express (Mac)
  • Uninstalled and reinstalled Garmin Connect app
  • Reset watch settings and reconfigured all permissions
  • Verified WiFi setup
  • Attempted creating plan on both web and mobile platforms



Not sure when this could have been started (pre 19.34 or 5.27) but it is a fact that the issues is here in these versions.

    I believe it's unlikely that this is by design and not just a software error. From what I've read in this thread, it was accessible for some people in the training calendar and then stopped. If it was designed not to function in this manner, why did it for some people and then stop working. Another thing that leads me to believe this is supposed to work in the training calendar is the way these workouts are tracked. I created a custom workout identical to the one my coach plan wanted me to do and then completed it. Despite completing this workout, the coach training plan marked that day as a "Rest" day because I didn't complete the assigned workout. 

    Needing to setup custom workouts to emulate the directions from the coach plan is a real pain. Some of the workouts are fairly complex and would be difficult to complete without guidance on a watch or device. For user experience, this functionality should either be fixed or implemented properly, otherwise it makes the Garmin Coach Plans far less useful.

    I can only echo my disappointment, as being a long term client. 
    How can a coach plan be adaptive if it doesn't measure your HR during the guided workout, nor accounts for the intensity minutes?
    My coach plan for running did work correctly, it's my coach plan with Bike Indoor where HR nor intensity minutes are shown/recorded.
    Apparently, this is due to the coach plan generating workouts but not having it in the Training Calendar. 
    If there is a workaround, I'd be happy to receive guidance.
    My setup:
    - Forerunner 965
    - Wahoo Kickr (both connected via ANT+)
