Syncing Pace & HR targets to Garmin

Hello,

New to intervals.icu and trying to understand the workout syntax a bit better. I’m using my own dev tool to push my plan to intervals.icu with the API, that then syncs it to my Garmin watch. But having a bit of trouble getting the pace targets to sync. Garmin shows ‘No targets’ for my repeats. Currently, this is how my example run looks like

- 22m Z2 HR

4x
- Strides 20s Z4-Z5 Pace
- Walk 60s

Interestingly, removing the first 22mins and just having the whole workout as 4x repeats somehow seems to be working. Any help with this would be appreciated :slight_smile:

Edit: Is it with combining multiple targets?

I changed the ‘Auto’ to ‘Pace’ and the pace synced well for the strides, but HR for easy run says ‘No Target’ now.

Intervals hasn’t figured out yet how to send workouts over the Garmin API with multiple targets.
Let’s be clear: Intervals is NOT sending FIT workouts to Garmin because Garmin doesn’t allow that. Intervals sends a workout in a script format to the Garmin API and Garmin Connect translates that to a workout on your device. The target type definition is not clear or Garmin is somehow blocking that.
This is kind of a hot topic over the last couple of months but the solution hasn’t been found yet.
