Training for a Race Event

Your Edge® bike computer can suggest daily workouts to help you train for a cycling event, if you have a VO2 max. estimate (About VO2 Max. Estimates) and ride with heart rate and power for one week.

  1. On your phone or computer, go to your Garmin Connect™ calendar.
  2. Select the day of the event, and add the race event.

    You can search for an event in your area or create your own event.

  3. Add details about the event, and add the course if it's available.
  4. Sync your device with your Garmin Connect account.
  5. On your device, scroll to the primary event glance to see a countdown to your primary race event.

Race Calendar and Primary Event

When you add a race event to your Garmin Connect calendar, you can view the event on your Edge bike computer by adding the primary event glance (Customizing the Glances). The event date must be in the next 365 days. The device displays a countdown to the event, event time and location, course details (if available), and weather information.
Primary event data
NOTE: Historical weather information for the location and date is available right away. Local forecast data appears approximately 14 days before the event.

From the primary event glance, press Down arrow symbol to view course information and weather details. Depending on the available course data for your event, you can view elevation data, the course map, course demands, and climb details.
