Thanks Nate,
Hope it is the latter. Currently they state " * Follow structured workouts from Today’s Plan and TrainingPeaks".
On a different topic, you guys are nailing the “Value Add” on product development, few people get that chatting to customers actually help in business development. Keep it up!

Truly great feature.

I have enable and scheduled a work out for today to try this out, but I can’t see the workout on my Garmin 1000. What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: Have re-synched and after 10 mins the workout downloaded to my Garmin.

Yes!

I think I just figured it out. Once you flip your workout to Outside, you see the blue link to sync ride on Garmin. You get brought to the screen with all your accounts that are linked to Trainer Road. Here is where I got hung up, as you have.

I realized I had to click on the “Re-authorize Garmin”. You’ll see the next screen has a new checkbox labeled “workouts” that you need to flip to checked.

Edit: Upon further investigation. You now need to go into your Garmin Connect on your phone, Go into workouts, you’ll see the Trainer Road Workout, you now need to select and it choose “Send to device” like you’d send a course map to your device.

Now you’ll actually have the ride synced to Garmin and should show up when you go into workouts.

I didn’t have to do the phone part. The workout showed up in the Garmin calendar, but not on the device at the same time. I used to turn my Garmin Edge 1030 off, but now I put it to sleep. According to the Garmin help, the 1030 will stay connected to the Wi-Fi. I am hoping this means it can sync while it is asleep.

It was interesting to see that the Trainerroad calendar said queued for Garmin even though Garmin had it in the calendar. I’m hoping that the sent to Garmin message means the head unit has it. I have asked support about this while discussing something else. Hopefully they will let me know.

Any plans to be able to push the run and swim workouts of the Triathlon plans?

632

Yeah, but it is a long way out, from other comments about importing these workouts.

Do you guys have any updates on Pioneer head unit?

635

Any news on a date concerning wahoo outdoor training with TR plans?

636

Not sure if this has been answered elsewhere, but is there any way to customize the training screen on Garmin Edge (I’m using 520 plus) for these workouts. I would like to see 3s power instead of just average for the interval, and also turn off ‘Power too high’ notifications (and probably ‘Power too low’ as well!)

Outdoor Workout Function - Time Remaining… recently did Monitor-4 outside version, the count down clock for the 6min effort worked fine, but did not work for the 90sec recovery, i had to keep swapping screens to the Garmin Screen (not the custom page view) to see how long i had been in recovery… quite annoying…is this how it is intended to work… know still need to press lap to start the next session.

There are no plans for Pioneer head units at the time. I’m not sure what their market share is for our users. We’ve got plans to look into that but it’s still a ways out.

My thought is that if it has enough market share and “fits” well (like has a good workout feature) then we will build integration.

We’re actively working on it, but we don’t have a date to share.

You can turn off the beeps, but you can’t customize the screen. We recommend setting up a second workout screen that you use as your main screen while you workout.

Thank you @Nate_Pearson. Just a piece of information and you guys are probably aware that pioneer is a wahoo based head unit. It should not be a problem integrating it. In any case, once TR announces Wahoo integration, I will test it on mine. Thanks again

642

Cool. The hard part is integrating with the API to send workouts to their head units. If we can piggy back on what we did for Wahoo then that would help.

Hi Carlos,

  • Garmin 520: :white_check_mark:
  • No power meter… hmm, while the website will give you the RPE equivalent, the device doesn’t: it will just state that an interval requires you to be between X and X watts for X minutes.

I’m sure this has been mentioned before, but it’s a long thread and can’t go through all of it. My Garmin Vector 2 Pedals read on aveage 15 watts less than my Wahoo Kickr Snap. I don’t use Power match, as pedals only use Ant+ and i don’t have a dongle for my iphone. So i usually just set the FTP on my Garmin 520 to 15 Watts less than TrainerRoad. At the moment i’m 272 on TR and garmin 520 is 257. This causes an issue with the new Outside Workouts, as they will be scaled up too high for me. Maybe if we could set an offset value in TR. e.g. I want all my outdoor workouts to be scaled up/down 5% to compensate. Other than that, it looks like a great feature. Thanks Ollie
