About the Training Calendar
The training calendar on your watch is an extension of the training calendar or schedule you set up in your
Garmin Connect account. After you have added a few workouts to the Garmin Connect calendar, you can send
them to your device. All scheduled workouts sent to the device appear in the calendar glance. When you select
a day in the calendar, you can view or do the workout. The scheduled workout stays on your watch whether
you complete it or skip it. When you send scheduled workouts from Garmin Connect, they overwrite the existing
training calendar.

Before you can download and use a training plan, you must have a Garmin Connect account (

Adaptive Training Plans
Your Garmin Connect account has an adaptive training plan and Garmin coach to fit your training goals. For
example, you can answer a few questions and find a plan to help you complete a 5 km race. The plan adjusts
to your current level of fitness, coaching and schedule preferences, and race date. When you start a plan, the
Garmin coach glance is added to the glance loop on your Forerunner watch.
