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 all. the problem is that Garmin are not allowing any new 3rd party connections to it's platform. there is not much that TP can do about this until Garmin changes their policy. Garmin has their own version of this "user feedback" page and the most helpful thing you can do is to lobby them (Garmin) to allow TPv to connect; here is a link, https://www.garmin.com/en-GB/forms/ideas/

Am I the only one who came late to this party? No major announcement of this? Been using Zwift and Rouvey etc for years ..can someone please educate me on this? Is it fully functional? Similar to zwift? Thanks

Adding my voice there. Can’t wait to ditch zwift and go with TP virtual.
Want to get more users, allow to have rides on TP virtual go to strava and garmin.

  TP Team - it's planned since Nov 2024 c'mon ... one year and you are not able to integrate it?
looks strange ...
I tried TPV today worked nice but my data after uploading to Garmin are not counting in as real training...
I'm returning to Zwift ...
fix it and I'll back :) -

  Hey, does anyone know whether this is being implemented, I'd really want to ditch Zwift and just stick to TPV, but with full integration of the load metrics I won't

Definitely requires a connection with Garmin. While workouts are being synced to TP, there is no automatic forwarding to Garmin. This needs fixing as manual workaround via FIT files is not acceptable.

  I'm aware of the hold ups on the Garmin side, but I having this would be an absolute game changer.

  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

Can someone please explain the problem and give a foecast to an automatic solution? -

  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!
