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.
