Guides

The easiest way to generate a workout and send it to a device

One button, or a sentence. Then Wahoo or Garmin actually has the session.

Short answer: If building a workout takes longer than the warm-up, the tool failed. Press generate, or type a sentence. Confirm the steps. Send to Wahoo or Garmin.

That is the job this page is about.

Use Based Training

The fastest path is generate. Pick bike or run. Based Training recommends a session from recent training. One button.

You can also describe the session in a sentence, or pick from a small library. ChatGPT is a third door if you already live in chat. How to generate a workout in ChatGPT and send it to a device.

Look at the steps. Send to the Wahoo or the Garmin. Then sync the device like you always do.

The assistant is a keyboard. The calendar is the record. The device is the payoff.

Same account can push a finished Wahoo ride into Garmin Connect. A ride you already did, not a session you still have to ride. See How to get a Wahoo activity into Garmin Connect.

Other options

Garmin Connect has a workout builder. Free. Garmin only. You click every step.

intervals.icu uses a text syntax. Planned workouts can go onto a Garmin watch if you live in their calendar.

TrainingPeaks is for coaches. Only the next 15 days of planned workouts reach Garmin.

TrainerRoad is a library, cycling-first, now under Outside.

Wahoo SYSTM talks to an ELEMNT. Not to Garmin.

Honest limits

  • Generate is a recommender. It is marked Beta. It is not a season plan.
  • You still sync the device yourself.
  • Garmin sign-in is experimental. The password is never saved. Read the privacy policy.
  • Not any device. Wahoo, Garmin, and Karoo. Not Zwift. An intervals.icu adapter is not shipped.

Bottom line

One button, or a sentence. Confirm. Send. Go train.
