Training Zone Settings in Garmin Connect

If you are using Garmin, you will need to add your training zones to your account settings in Garmin Connect. These should match the 5 MyProCoach zones that you have set in TrainingPeaks.

Navigate to Devices ('More' in the App) or Devices and Sync Status (top right on your PC)
Select your device and then "User Settings".
Scroll down to Heart Rate Zones and select "% of LT" (for run and bike).
Enter your Threshold Heart Rate (as recorded in your TrainingPeaks account).
Enter your lower Zone 1 heart rate value in the first box, followed by your upper heart rate values for each Training Zone in the remaining five boxes.

You will need to perform the above steps for each Garmin device you use. And to make changes to your Power-based training zones on a bike specific device, follow the steps above but scroll past the Heart Rate settings to "Power Zones". Your FTP should match the value recorded in TrainingPeaks.

Stay Updated

Each time you complete a Fitness Test in your plan, check and update your device Heart Rate and Power settings to avoid conflicting and confusing post-workout metrics! Make sure that you sync your device back to Garmin Connect each time you update your Training Zones.

For further information and assistance on syncing your Garmin and TrainingPeaks accounts please refer to this TrainingPeaks article and here for information on exporting structured workouts.
