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.

Control smart trainer with Garmin for your workouts

If you do not want to use Zwift or other virtual platforms, you can simply execute your AI Endurance cycling workouts by letting your Garmin control your smart trainer. For example, let your Garmin Edge 530 or Forerunner 945 control your Wahoo Kickr trainer. All smart trainers supporting the ANT+ FE-C protocol, including Tacx, are supported.

How to Use the AI Endurance Cycling Training Plan

In this post, we explain how to use AI Endurance’s cycling training plan that we generated for Paris to Ancaster, Canada’s biggest gravel racing event. The plan includes detailed workout instructions. For indoor cycling, we show how to use AI Endurance with Trainerroad and Zwift.

DDFA Dynamical Detrended Fluctuation Analysis

by Markus Rummel. DDFA (Dynamical Detrended Fluctuation Analysis) is a new method to analyze the changes in your HRV data during exercise. It is an evolution of the DFA analysis based on the research in [1, 2] used by AI Endurance.

Which training really works?

We compare polarized training, threshold training and AI optimized endurance training. AI optimized training yields the best results, followed by polarized training with threshold training in third. The results are inline with current exercise physiology research. If the training composition is not optimized to the individual athlete, substantially smaller gains are to be expected.
