Using TrainingPeaks Structured Workouts on a Garmin Device

Linking your Garmin Connect™ account with a TrainingPeaks account will allow you to sync future cycling, running, and swimming workouts.

NOTE: If your TrainingPeaks workout has an RPE (rate of perceived exertion) target, both the primary target and any secondary cadence target will not be displayed once the workout is synced through Connect to your device. This is because RPE is not a supported metric in Garmin Connect or on Garmin devices.

Workouts can be created using the Structured Workout Builder on the TrainingPeaks website. Once you have a workout created, TrainingPeaks will use the auto-sync feature to send the workout over to your Garmin Connect Calendar. From there you can send the workout to your compatible Garmin Device. These specific workouts will show up under Training Plans or Training Calendar in your Garmin account. For details on this process see these links:

NOTE: Garmin Connect will not display the step details for third party workouts, including those from TrainingPeaks.

A "Built" workout shown in TrainingPeaks displays a gray profile bar indicating any intervals (if any) in the workout. "Non-built" workouts will not have a gray profile bar and will not sync over to the Garmin Connect calendar. See the image below:
