How to get Garmin custom workouts directly on your device

Execute your AI Endurance personalized training plan directly from your Garmin watch or bike computer. No more writing down workouts or remembering interval sets. Get step-by-step instructions as Garmin custom workouts and a Garmin Connect training plan with only a few clicks.

Garmin custom workouts

Garmin custom workouts are step-by-step instructions that guide you through your workout. Take for example an AI Endurance - Tempo Run:

Warmup for 5 min.
Do 2 intervals of 8 min at Tempo pace (5:05 - 4:35 min/km) on 4 min recovery (>5:05 min/km).
Cool down for 5 min.

Once you synchronize AI Endurance with Garmin Connect, you'll get these instructions in real time via Garmin custom workouts:

During the warmup and cool down your watch will warn you if you are running too fast for warmup pace, in this case if you go faster than 5:05 min/km. At the end of the warmup time a countdown takes you directly into the interval part of the workout.
During the intervals the watch notifies you if you are hitting the right pace/power zone and warns you if you are going either too fast or too slow. It also automatically times and laps your interval duration and notifies you when the interval is (finally) over.

Your heart rate variability recovery model

Before every workout you should know if you're actually ready for it. Everyone responds differently to stress, bad sleep and exercise fatigue - our new recovery model makes data driven decisions about when you should train and when you shouldn't - based on heart rate variability (HRV).

DFA alpha 1 HRV based (an)aerobic threshold estimation

DFA (detrended fluctuation analysis) alpha 1 is an HRV (heart rate variability) based aerobic and anaerobic threshold estimation method. It only requires a heart rate monitor that tracks HRV data. It has the potential to track your thresholds automatically without dedicated test workouts.

Calculate cycling power without a power meter

Power meters are costly and we often can't afford one on every bike we own. AI Endurance calculates cycling power from activities without a power meter using heart rate, cadence and DFA alpha 1. The results are generally more accurate than speed based estimates such as Strava's estimated power. All you need is a heart rate monitor and ideally a cadence sensor on your bike and AI Endurance will estimate your power for every ride.

A study on the correlation between power and DFA alpha1 in every day workouts

by Stefano Andriolo. We demonstrate a universal relationship between cycling power and DFA alpha 1 from every day workout data that allows accessible and regular tracking of aerobic and anaerobic thresholds without the need of an exercise lab or even a dedicated testing protocol.
