EXTERNAL: Garmin integration
Being able to upload data directly to Garmin and have metrics (training load, vo2 etc) calculated as per the other online platforms (TrainerRoad, Zwift etc)

hi Martin groundsell. I think the problem is at the Garmin end, they are not allowing any new direct inputs and I think this is because they have launched their own premium subscription service. it's a pain in the bum but I don't think TPv can do anything about it other than try and and lobby garmin. I think garmin also have their own version of this ideas forum and it may be useful to lobby garmin driectly yourself; I have. you can find it here. https://www.garmin.com/en-GB/forms/ideas/

Why is this such an issue for delivery when Training Peaks has full integration with Garmin Connect in both ways already? Surely this can be added to the link that is already in place?

I am still using Zwift (would rather be on TPV) because of the lack of TPV uploading completed workouts to Garmin . While TP is my main source of performance data, Garmin keeps a lot of general health data as well and none of the TPV workouts would ever show. I see below that people are doing some sort of download workaround. I don't know how to do that. I don't see why TP can export a workout file to my Garmin head unit, but not a completed workout to Garmin Connect. Would rather avoid a workaround.

Much rather have this integration than enhanced graphics for example.

Hi, it would be great if the trainings could be uploaded to Garmin platform. They have an API which you can integrate. KR, Rémi TrainingPeak

As I understand there are issues with Garmin not being open to cooperation but it would be nice if there was an update of this being implemented, if ever

Is there any progress about this issue?
Can someone please explain the problem and give a foecast to an automatic solution? -

Lade auch von TP herunter aber wird dann in Garmin nicht berechnet.

I agree with Mark Walby. it's very easy to save a workout from TP onto the computer then upload it to garmin. I usually do a weeks' worth at a time and if you inadvertently try and upload the same workout twice garmin will realise and stop you form doing that so there are never any duplications. having said that, given that you have training peaks with it's much greater emphasis on analysis I'm not sure what I get from sending TPv workouts to garmin other than a sense of completeness. everything I need is in TP.

Until this happens, I download my activity from TP and then upload into Garmin. People on here saying its a deal breaker to have this working is slightly going overboard in my opinion!

Es fehlt immer noch die wichtige automatische Übertragung auf Garmin.

Hope you move forward asap this sync issue. To-date I have to pay to RunGap app as they sync my TPV workout recorded in Strava to Garmin… and that’s not perfect because then I have a duplicated in TP that already synced from TPV. I know that you have to find out all things related to Garmin API and so on but please, here is the people writing but I have many friends quitting from TPV just for this reason and coming back to MyWhoosh or Zwift. Many thanks!

As soon as Garmin integration and metrics are fully available like it is in Zwift I will jump ship from Zwift to TP Virtual in a heartbeat. Without Garmin integration it is a total dealbreaker for me.

Hi I am new to TP and TP virtual. I believe that I have set up to allow my TP rides to appear in Garmin connect. My workouts synch from TP to Garmin.
My outdoor rides from TP also appear in Garmin but my virtual rides don't appear. Is this a setting that I have incorrect or something TP virtual needs to fix? I am enjoying TP and TP virtual. At the moment I have the 14 day trial, as long as I like it, I will subscribe to premium -

Please allow TP Virtual to automatically sync completed workouts to Garmin Connect. This should be a no brainer, many of us use Garmin Connect.

Hello,
my heart rate from the Ergobike is not suggested in the connection options, but my smart trainer and cadence are, perhaps this can be improved. Does TrainingPeaks Virtual fully support BLE FTMS?
What would be even more important to me is that TrainingPeaks Virtual connects well with Garmin and that the training session is displayed in Garmin as a load value, because otherwise my training load is not correct and all the recommendations are no longer useful.
It would be great if these two weak points could be fixed.
Regards,
Hubert -

The only reason I am not fully committed to TP Virtual at this time is its lack of integration with Garmin Connect. I realize that is likely a Garmin API issue but with competitors like Zwift automatically uploading rides to Garmin it becomes a major hassle to have to try workarounds. All of my other devices and metrics are contained within the Garmin ecosystem and I would like to stay that way.

Sort this forum by "Top Comments" and you will see this has already been asked multiple times, and as Gerrie mentioned is a Garmin issue, not a TPV issue.
That said, I am curious if TPV has investigated using the existing TrainingPeaks connection as leverage an requesting to be updated to allow activities to be written from TPV to GC. Currently it allows reading of activities from GC to TP and read/write of workouts both ways.

I've thought about it several times. That would be enormously important.

The app need to connect with garmin connect and update your workout in that app
