What happens if I change training plans? Don't worry because from Runnify we'll always keep your workouts updated. Just like your workouts will be deleted from your profile when you mark them as completed, so you'll always stay updated.

Reminder: Your Garmin workout will appear in the same unit of measurement as your Runnify training plan. Therefore, make sure your Garmin account is configured with the same unit of measurement.

All your Garmin workouts will sync automatically from your Garmin Connect app to your watch, following the calendar you have configured.

  • Here you'll find all the workouts in your plan and, by clicking on each of them, you'll get more details
