Training for a Race Event

Your watch can suggest daily workouts to help you train for a running event, if you have a VO2 max. estimate (About VO2 Max. Estimates).

On your phone or computer, go to your Garmin Connect™ calendar.
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.
Add details about the event, and add the course if it's available.
Sync your watch with your Garmin Connect account.
On your watch, scroll to the primary event glance to see a countdown to your primary race event.
From the watch face, press START, and select a running activity.

NOTE: If you have completed at least one outdoor run with heart rate data, daily suggested workouts appear on your watch.
