Garmin Connect

Garmin's companion app for building workouts and reviewing training data

The phone app that pairs with a Garmin watch. Workouts are built step by step, warm-up through intervals to cool-down, then sent to the watch so the device drives the session instead of the runner doing arithmetic mid-rep. It also stores the history the watch collects: paces, heart rate zones, weekly volume, sleep. Free with the hardware.

His company's article calls this his approach to marathon training and credits it with improving the quality of his hard workouts. He was on a Fenix 6 Pro when it was written.
