Upload planned workouts to Garmin Connect

[david]

Unfortunately the .fit file received from Garmin doesn’t have the name of the activity (e.g. as on Garmin Connect). The name is actually created by Intervals.icu based on the time of day of the activity and its type (“Morning Ride” etc.).

I should probably remove name from the filter there.

Thank you David for the fast reply. But are we talking about the same? I want to send the file from Intervals to Garmin. Means Intervals knows the name I chose for the workout and the name arrives in Garmin too. Without any interaction from my side, the planned workout for Saturday named “Fartlek” is as Fartlek in the Garmin calendar too. Mhh, so the alternative for sending only certain workouts to Garmin ist to export the erg file(?) manually?
Cheers
Boris

Sorry I miss-understood. I forgot to implement planned workout name filtering when I added name to the activity filters. I have fixed this and will deploy tm.

When I upload a workout using % of MMP for power, the numbers are way to high.

Everything is working fine with % of FTP.
Is there workaround?

Thanks!

[david]

I will look at this. The watts should match the watts shown in the editor. Are you uploading for yourself or another athlete? There is some complexity there.

[Jules_Cusson-Fradet]

Thanks for your ultra fast response as always!
It’s from a training plan with multiples athletes.

[david]

Can you please send me a link to the athlete who had the problem. Tx.

I tried for myselft too and was having the same problem.

[david]

I haven’t been able to figure out what is going on here. It works fine for me even with one of your workouts. I downloaded your data and I am sending the correct data to Garmin Connect. So I have deployed some additional logging to try see whats up.

This is your upcoming 4h easy uploaded via Intervals.icu to my Garmin … the power is correct:

[Jules_Cusson-Fradet]

Thanks for your help!

The problem seems to happen with more complex workouts like the over-under.

Just to make sure, if I want to prescribe 5 minutes intervals at 85% of MMP 20 minutes I write:

• 5m 85% MMP 20m
  ?

And if I want to prescribe MMP for power in second, I write:

• 6s 85% MMP 10s

?

Thanks!

For those who are not satisfied with Garmin Edge’s built in workout display, there is a probably better (and configurable) setup proposed to athletes by TrainerRoad (sorry for the competitor link) :

The basics they are proposing (again - configurable) is like this:

Sidenote: on a Garmin Edge 530 I couldn’t find step avg power, so I’ve replaced it w/ lap power.

KR,

Yes you are writing the steps correctly. I had a look at the extra logs specifically for “LSD + winning moves” and it looks like the correct data has been sent to Garmin. How does that one look on your device?

{
  "workoutName": "LSD + winning moves",
  "description": "...",
  "sport": "CYCLING",
  "steps": [
    {
      "type": "WorkoutStep",

      "intensity": "INTERVAL",
      "durationType": "TIME",
      "durationValue": 10800,
      "targetType": "POWER_LAP",
      "targetValueLow": 137,
      "targetValueHigh": 167
    },
    {

Nice! What is the data field to get the workout overview chart? (The one above HR | Cadence.)

[Leszek_Prozorowicz]

Workouts → Workout Comparison.

[Jules_Cusson-Fradet]

Thanks a lot for your help on this.

Its working fine for the “LSD + winning moves” workout!

So far, it seems that only the “3-4 x 9min over-under” workout was problematic.

Hello there.
Before a month or so i have no problem with automatic uploading workouts on Garmin conect,
but recently i have 0 uploaded planned workouts for next 3 weeks.
Any help will be great thanks

[david]

Could you please try disconnecting from GC (click the red unlink icon) and reconnecting. That might sort it out. Tx.

[Nikola_Tsanev]

Thanks for the answer.
I’ve tryed allready few times, but unfortunately doesn’t work.

[david]

I just had a look at your calendar and all of your current planned workouts are a couple of weeks into the future. Intervals.icu only uploads workouts for the next week or so. Maybe that is the problem? You could try adding one in the next couple of days to test.

I have the same problem using workouts including MMP.

For example 4x8m works perfect when used like this:

Main 4x
- 8m 95% MMP 8m
- 4m 40% FTP

I end up with 309W on the Garmin which is the same in the workout builder. But when I try for warm-up:

Warmup 2x
- 30s 90% MMP 8m
- 2m 60% FTP

The 30s burst should be at 293W according to workout builder, but on the Garmin itself it’s 563W. I thought it might take the 30s interval from the 30s MMP and not the 8min one, but the workout builder shows the watts as intended, only on the Garmin device it’s off.
