Workouts should be saved to the device when downloaded through the TP App
I noticed today that the app will only download the workout when it is connected to the device, it does not really save the workout on the device. I mean this. I opened the app and downloaded the workout, the app then asked me if I wished to do the workout now. I did not so I closed the TP app thinking it was saved on the watch and I could come back to it later. When I reopened the app, the workout was gone. I had to redownload it and then keep the app open until I got to the gym and hit start on the activity.

The workouts are saved by default to the device and can be accessed later on without using the TrainingPeaks IQ app.
The workouts can be accessed through Garmin’s interface. Make sure that you know the name of the workout you are looking for. This is from Garmin’s help site:
1. From the watch face, select START.
2. Select an activity type
3. Hold the “9 o’clock” button to enter settings
4. Select Training > My Workouts.
5. Select a workout. Look for it by name.
6. Select Do Workout.
7. Select START to start the timer.
Here is Garmin’s help page for going this on a 935, it is the same on all their watches
https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/forerunner935/EN-US/GUID-3AA7B50B-EBE5-4A29-A15A-316849BA9BDB.html
And for an Edge 820, again it is the same for all Edge devices

If you use the app enough, then eventually you will need to manually delete the older workouts. You will know when you need to do this when the TrainingPeaks IQ app gets stuck on the TP logo screen. Connect IQ apps can not delete files from the device, so this has to be done manually. To delete the workouts, plug your device into your computer, go to /Garmin/Workouts, and delete all the files. After that you should be good to go. These instructions can be found here as well. https://help.trainingpeaks.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001378972-TrainingPeaks-Daily-Workout-IQ-app-FAQ-and-Troubleshooting

Workouts downloaded from the TP IQ app are not saved into Garmin Connect as workouts. Workouts created in Garmin COnnect are saved in Garmin COnnect. When you download a workout from TP to your Garmin device using the TP IQ app, you are required to start the workout. If you exit the TP app, the workout is gone, it is not stored on the device for later accessing. You need to reopen the TP app and then redownload the TP workout when you are ready to use it. I don't have a smart phone to take with me to work. I would like to download my workout from TP onto my Garmin device, exit the app, and then access the workout from my watch when I am ready to use it.
