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.
