Garmin Connect– Train for Success with New Training Plans Feature

Success begins with a plan. And, when you use
the new Training Plans feature on Garmin Connect, you’ll be able to track your
progress and celebrate your milestones like never before. You can even send the
workouts directly to your compatible device for real-time coaching as you run.

Sign in to your free Garmin Connect account and click on the "Plan" tab. Here you'll see the "Training Plans" option to choose from regular and heart rate-based training plans for 5Ks, half
marathons and marathons. Be sure to check back regularly, as we will be adding additional plans for
cycling, triathlons and general fitness, all complied by professional coaches.

Once you’ve found the plan that best matches
your current fitness level and your goals, you can add it to
 your Garmin
Connect calendar. The calendar gives you a great visual of which days you’ll be
working out and what the workouts will be. You’ll even see rest days, cross
training days and sports massage days depending on the details of your training
plan.

From your calendar, you can send the training
plan to your compatible Garmin device, so, as soon as you turn on the device, you’ll 
see
your workout details for that specific day. For example, if Tuesday’s workout
is a speed session, your device might signal to you how long to warm up, when
to start running at high intensity, when to slow to recovery pace and when to
begin your cool down. If you use a heart rate-based plan, you’ll even know which heart rate zones to aim for during each step of the workout.

It’s the time of year for new beginnings, so
let all our new Training Plans features help you achieve your goals!
