Garmin Coach workout completed on Edge 1050 but still shown as incomplete / Rest Day

I’m experiencing an issue with the Garmin Cycling Coach on my Edge 1050.

Today, Tuesday September 1st, my scheduled workout was:

Sprint - 53:00 - 2×14×0:10 @ 430 W

I started the workout directly from the Garmin Coach workout shown on the Edge 1050, so I did not start a generic or manually created workout.

I completed the entire workout and saved the activity normally. The activity was successfully synced to Garmin Connect and appears there as:

Sprint - 27.05 km - 54:05 - 149 W average power

However, Garmin Coach does not recognize the workout as completed.

In Garmin Connect, Tuesday still does not show the completed workout, and on the Edge 1050 itself the Training/Coach screen now shows “Rest Day” for today, while the Sprint workout is still shown as if it had never been completed.

I have already tried:

  • Synchronizing the Edge with Garmin Connect again
  • Restarting/syncing the device
  • Changing the activity type to “Training” and syncing again

None of this changed the workout status.

This is particularly confusing because the activity itself is clearly synced correctly and contains all the workout data. The problem seems to be specifically that Garmin fails to associate the recorded activity with the scheduled Garmin Coach workout.

What is the correct way to fix the completion status of an already completed Coach workout?

I do not want to reschedule or repeat the workout, since I have already completed it exactly as prescribed.

My Edge Firmware is up to date.

I have also seen multiple Edge 1050 firmware changelogs that specifically mention fixes for Garmin Coach issues such as workouts not showing as completed, workouts not syncing, and Garmin Coach incorrectly showing a rest day after a workout was completed.

However, I am still experiencing exactly these issues on my device. This makes it seem like the underlying problem is still not fully resolved, which, quite frankly, is pretty embarrassing for Garmin’s top of the line cycling device.
