About the Training Calendar

The training calendar on your device is an extension of the
training calendar or schedule you set up in Garmin Connect.
After you have added a few workouts to the Garmin Connect
calendar, you can send them to your device. All scheduled
workouts sent to the device appear in the training calendar list
by date. When you select a day in the training calendar, you can
view or do the workout. The scheduled workout stays on your
device whether you complete it or skip it. When you send
scheduled workouts from Garmin Connect, they overwrite the
existing training calendar.
