About the Training Calendar
The training calendar on your device is an extension of the training calendar or schedule you set up in Garmin
Connect. 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 widget. When you select a day in the
calendar, you can view or do the workout. The scheduled workout stays on your device whether you complete it
or skip it. When you send scheduled workouts from Garmin Connect, they overwrite the existing training
calendar.

You can browse your Garmin Connect account to find a training plan, schedule workouts, and send them to

Interval Workouts

saves your custom interval workout until you edit the workout again.
