Send eligible RunDot planned workouts to Garmin

RunDot support documents a Garmin workflow for sending eligible planned workouts from a daily session to a Garmin device. You can send an eligible workout manually, and RunDot documents a preference that can automatically push eligible workouts.¹

Connect your device

RunDot’s connection instructions direct runners to the Connections area, where they can select a listed device or training app and follow provider prompts.² If a device is not listed, the article says it can sync through Strava.³

A connection does not, by itself, establish planned-workout delivery, completed-activity return, data fields, or timing. Check the current workflow for your provider.

Send a planned workout to Garmin

RunDot support documents these steps for an eligible daily session:⁴

1. Open the daily Session screen.
2. Open the menu.
3. Select Send to Garmin.
4. Accept the workout prompt on the Garmin device.

For manual sending, the reviewed article says the workout must be scheduled two days or less from the current date. It also documents an automatic-push preference for eligible workouts.⁵

Some sessions do not display send/download controls. The article names Time Trial and Race Week runs without a segment-profile graph as examples.⁶

Select a push metric

RunDot support says Power, Pace, or Heart Rate can be selected as the push metric.⁷ Check the current settings and device display for the workflow available to you.

Be specific about data direction

The reviewed public sources do not explicitly define whether a normal direct Garmin connection automatically returns completed activities, or the associated fields, timing, retries, and device coverage.

Replace a linked Garmin session file when needed

RunDot documents a manual replacement route: unlink the file in the RunDot session, download the .tcx from Garmin Connect, then upload it to the RunDot calendar session.¹¹ This is a replacement workflow, not a claim about routine completed-activity synchronization.

Garmin and RunDot questions

Can RunDot automatically push Garmin workouts?

RunDot documents a preference to automatically push eligible workouts. Confirm the current scope, timing, and eligibility in current settings and support guidance.¹²

Why is Send to Garmin missing from a session?

The reviewed support article lists session eligibility limits and a two-day manual-send window. Check the current session and support instructions.¹³

Do completed Garmin workouts automatically appear in RunDot?

RunDot says received training files normally match automatically to the appropriate session and documents manual Garmin .tcx replacement. The reviewed public sources do not explicitly define normal direct Garmin completed-activity return behavior.¹⁴¹⁵
