Training Zone Settings in Garmin Connect

Setting Your Training Zones in Garmin Connect

To make sure your Garmin workouts match your MyProCoach plan, you’ll need to add your training zones in Garmin Connect. These should match the 5 MyProCoach zones you use in TrainingPeaks.

How to Add Your Zones

Follow these steps in the Garmin Connect app or Garmin Connect (Web):

1. Go to Devices

   • In the app: tap More → Garmin Devices

   • On web: Devices & Sync Status (top right)

2. Select your device → User Settings.

3. Scroll to Heart Rate Zones.

4. Change the calculation method to % of LT (for both Run and Bike).

5. Enter your Threshold Heart Rate (from TrainingPeaks).

6. Add your zone values:

   • Zone 1: Enter the lower value.

   • Zones 2–5: Enter each upper zone value in the remaining boxes.

Repeat this for every Garmin device you train with.

Adding Power Zones (Cycling Only)

If you use a bike-specific Garmin:

• Scroll past Heart Rate Zones to Power Zones.

• Enter your FTP so it matches the value in your TrainingPeaks settings.

Keep Your Zones Updated

After every Fitness Test in your plan:

• Review your Heart Rate and Power settings in Garmin Connect.

• Update them if needed, so your device stays accurate.

• Sync your device after making changes.
