This was so helpful and exactly the info I needed. I just got the Forerunner 235 for my birthday and can't wait to program a workout. Thanks Heather!!!
I just got my FR235. Your video is a very informative. I’ll keep watching your videos. Thank you!
Thanks for doing this video! Adding in the repeats is where I would usually struggle and end up with a workout that was not what I had intended! This helps a ton 👍🏼
I'm so glad that helps! Intervals are where things get tedious if you don't have the "repeats!"
This was great. I'm definitely underutilizing my 235 and need to do more of this stuff. Thanks for this great video. Keep 'em coming.
Great! I've had quite a few Garmin and Polar watches but only used them for the time, distance and heart rate. About time I tried some of the other functions. Very helpful video! Keep it up!
Thanks for posting. I am just starting to try and use this feature so I can vary my runs more. This was very helpful!
Nice video - had no idea I can do this. Will go crazy now w/ Run and swim workouts, many thanks for a very clear and concise video.
yes very helpful. the 235 is one watch I am thinking about getting to arm myself with info to improve my running
Very helpful, glad I found this video. As I am starting to get into training for a marathon and I need to set all my workouts.
Thank you so much! I have no I idea how to use my Garmin besides run and stop. This will help me so much! Now time to go play with my Garmin! :)
I'm so glad this helps, Juanita! Go play!
Appreciate your time and effort in making this video! Thank you!
This was super helpful and easy to follow. Thank you!
Very useful. Just switched to Garmin from FitBit and waiting to receive my Garmin device. I will be using this customized workout feature for sure. Thanks !
Glad this could help! Good luck!
I actually didn’t know this & I will give it a try, thanks again 👍🇬🇧🏃
Absolutely!
I am going to share this with my runners!! good stuff!
Thanks for this, very well explained 🙏
thank you very much! found it very helpfull been looking for a simple guide like this :)
This is really awesome, thank you. You've earned a new subscriber.
You are very kind! Thank you!
Super useful - thank you. It would have been great to see this in action .. i.e., a short video on how the various alerts/messages (?) show up on the watch during training. I haven't used these features on my 230 but I will explore them now.
Great suggestion! I'm working on that for an upcoming video.
Thank you Heather , your advices are very helpful .
You are very welcome! Thank you for tuning in!
Awesome video! Where have you been all my running life....so glad I stumbled on your videos. Hope to meet you in WDW in 30+ days but who’s counting. :-)
We will be there! Thank you!
My Garmin forerunner is coming, I guess got it by Tuesday this week. Thank you so much for this.
Awesome vid - very straight forward. Santa brought me a 735XT and I do intervals on the bike and running but control them manually... not anymore. thank you
Excellent! How do you like the 735? I'm in the market for a Multisport watch, for sure...
@@HeatherJergensen I love it!! This past summer I began my quest for Tri and found my Apple Watch didn't cut it (shocking). I researched multi-sport watches and it came down to I WANTED the 735XT but could afford the Suunto Spartan HR. I watched a bunch of reviews and most said the Suunto was the best 'entry level' multi sport and it would do the job. I bought it - $175 cheaper than Garmin's offering.
I used the Suunto for 4.5 months and found issues - the screen contrast is low and it is very hard to just read the time. The date/day is so small in the regular screen it was hard to read. There is very little you can do to customize the main screen and I found the default info sort of useless really. The actual data screens for activities was customizable and fine. I found running with it a bit tough as again the contrast made it a bit tough to pick out what I wanted.
Enter Santa (aka my lovely wife) and the Garmin 735XT. I've had it for only a week but I tell you the difference in price is justified. Everything from the button feel, fit (the Suunto has the GPS chip in the band and I found it rigid and sort of uncomfortable really - just didn't realize how bad until I wore my Garmin for the first time). The screen contrast is much much better and totally customizable. As you already know the IQ shop has all kinds of screens where Suunto does not.
HOWEVER - BEWARE. The 735XT is indeed an awesome multi sport watch and the perfect watch for me. YOU compete in full distance Ironman races - I am told that the 735 battery will not last the race. A good friend of mine races full distance and she had to upgrade to the 935 as the battery life is better.
Excellent! Thank you for the recommendation!
Thanks for the video, it was a great help. Is there a way to input workouts after i run them so my garmin can keep track of the mileage Instead of beforehand.
I've just started running and found your video very clear and helplful. I want to programme my Garmin 235 for a warm up, a three step (1 min run/1 min walk, 2 min run/2 min walk, 3 min run/2 min walk) to be repeated 7 times but can't work out how to do this. Can you advise please? Paula
Yeah, I have workouts like this as well, and unfortunately, I couldn't find an easy way to do that. I ended up programming every interval and recovery. It was tedious, to be sure. Sorry I don't have a better answer.
Thank you so much for this great information Heather! I have a Garmin 15 and would really like to "graduate" to a better Garmin. Can you offer some advise? Basically I run/walk/run and I know Garmin will do this but just how well. My question is the 235 better at tone and vibrate to alert you to the change? My 15 beeps but I can barely hear it and would love to have the vibrate function because I use music for cadence/motivation. This would also allow me to drop the extra device (timer).
I haven't used the Garmin 15, but I can say for the 235, the vibrate is pretty good. It also has a countdown timer to the next step from 5 seconds, and it starts beeping at that point. It isn't loud, but it does repeat. I definitely notice. If you are looking to upgrade, it might be a good step...
Thanks for the explanation. Just added a workout. Spot on. :-)
Great vid! We share the same Coach, BTW, who has asked me to get stats specifically for the interval portion. I tend to use autolap on my Garmin Fenix 3 but the autolap is set each mile. If the interval starts just before or just after an autolap and I then hit the lap button manually I get odd results in the stats. Is there a way around this? I'm probably not doing something right, if past efforts are any indication!
thanks as I could not work out how to create the repeat...brilliant
Thanks, very helpful. 😎
Really helpful set up video, thank you for sharing this
Glad you enjoyed it!
Super helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
You are amazing, love it!
If I choose time for duration, for warmup and the target is a pace range, do I put the slower pace in the first field then the faster pace in the second field? For cooldown, do I reverse that?
Very useful, thanks
Thanks, very helpful!!!
Thanks, very helpful for my vivoactive 3 music
Very usefull grtz from belgium
Great information. Is it possible to create a workout for badminton and volleyball? Thanks
Not for the Forerunner 235 as it is primarily a running watch with limited capability for other sports. It might be possible with another model, but I'm not sure which one. Check www.garmin.com for their other models. Sorry I couldn't help more...
this was great....thank you
This is a very helpful video, thanks, now, question, because I run with my music, (airpods) I cannot here my watch beeping when switching from walk to run and vice versa... is there any way increase the volume when beeping? or can Garmng talk to me through airpods and say: run / walk ? or any other suggestions? thanks
Great video!
Thank you, Patrick!
I use this feature all the time. Big fan of Garmin. The Running Geek Girl (Heather) sent me.
Thank you so much for coming by! I love Garmin -- I've upgraded to the 735XT, but still use this feature.
I set up a workout the way you showed us but the watch did not beep to the next step. What did I do wrong. I have interval workouts onxe a week and I changed watch just to be able to program it on my watch.
Thank you on repeat like a thousand times!!!
Just set a new 2Km custom workout. It that means that after 2 kilometers of running the timer will stop by itself? I’m trying to break my personal record. Please help!
brilliant thanks
Good video. How can i build a workout real time as I'm doing it? By Adding exercises chronologically? For example the Samsung watch does this where you press add workout during the workout. Thanks
Thank you! I don't think you can build a workout while it is in progress. It's more like program, then execute. As for the Samsung Question, I'm afraid I don't have any experience with that. Sorry!
@@HeatherJergensen thank you. Often times when I'm in the gym I do work out based on whichever machines are available ibuildit spontaneously while having an idea of which muscle groups I will be exercising. I'm thinking next time to program a bunch of separate workouts like tricep extension, bench press, and then executing a new workout every time I start a new exercise.
Thank you
This is so cool!!!
Nice!
Would this work on a garmin 35? Would love to get more out of it and haven't really explored this stuff!
Did some digging, and it doesn't look like the 35 is programmable. I think that starts with the 200 and up series. Sorry...you can still do some great things with the 35 though!
thank you !!
How I set up for zumba set up?
can you add these custom workouts to garmin 35?
How do I add another run segments to repeat. Am I limited to 2 parts for the repeat? I have a training run: 600 meter at faster effort, follow with 200 meters easy running, then 400 meter faster, 400 meter easy and I'm supposed to repeat 3 times (There's 2 miles easy run as bookends.) Do I have to forget using repeat feature and just list the four parts 3xs? If I pair the above in three repeats, I'm assuming it will repeat each two 3xs before moving to the next repeat. That's not what I want. Can you advise?
Okay, I had to read the question a couple of times. So I think, if I understand, you are doing 600 fast, 200 easy, 400 fast, 400 easy, then starting back at 600 to repeat. If this is the case, then yes. As much as a pain as it is, you would have each listed without the repeat feature. It's a lot of steps, but once it's in, you can save that in your watch and reuse it. Hope that helps!
@@HeatherJergensen Thanks! Yes, it's from a Budd Coates marathon training plan. I gave it a go at the gym, but ended with little elevation change. I was trying to simulate outside hills by hitting incline and speed buttons up one increment every 30 secs or so and then back down the same incremental changes. Are these distances are too short for the incremental approach? It felt like I was going up and down, but the Garmin showed little elevation change at the end of the workout. Should I have just bumped it up to 5 on incline all at once and stayed there until the next beep? Is 5 enough? How do you recommend doing a hills workout on the treadmill? Maybe this is a good topic for another video.
Dear Heather, thank you so much for this VID. Helpfull like crazy! I have one issue with my Fenix 5 tho. It won't upload my manuel created workouts as you showed on your vid anymore. I tried to contact Garmin but I think they are having a holliday for they are not responding. I know you are not a helpdesk but could you please help me out here? Thanks a million times!!
Hey Peter, I am so glad this helped you! Unfortunately, I know little about the Fenix, and don't really even know if it's similar to the Forerunner. I've had good luck calling Garmin directly when something isn't working right, so that would really be my only suggestion. Sorry I couldn't be more help...I totally would if I knew more!
No problem Heather, I figured out sofar, that only a certain amount of workouts can be uploaded which to me is rather strange. Indeed I'm going to call Garmin so the experts can help me out. I guess this will be an issue for them too...I hope ;-) . Thanks again Heather!!
Hi Heather, i have a garminForerunner 735 and i found a 16 weeks halfmarathon run plan from Garmin Expreess and i synced it with my device.I started the plan at 19/06 and now i cant see the plan any more on my device because of memory issues .I tried to delete the past workouts to make more memory space but i cant find the way to solve the problem. Can you help me please ?
I might try syncing it again and/or restarting it. Failing that I would definitely call Garmin support. They are very helpful, and would be able to determine the issue with the 735. Good luck, and sorry I couldn't help more than that...
Thanks for responding Heather ,i will call Garmin support .
Hi, can I share my custom training with another users?
Thank you
Is it possible to write workout and send it to someone on other garmin account, so he/she can upload it to their garmin watch?!
At first glance it doesn't look that way, but it may be a coaching feature for a premium membership. I couldn't find a way to do that, though. Sorry I couldn't be more help...
This makes me want to drop Fitbit and get a garmin
Get the garmin vivoactive 3 music you can download over 500 songs in the watch and it has most of the feathers found on the 500 dollar garmin watch for only 175.00 . Check out all the faces , data fields , widgets ,apps ect you can get for it . apps.garmin.com/en-US/devices/vivoactive3m/apps
Garmin is perfect for running pls but.. Guaranteed u won't regret
You wouldn’t regret it. They are amazing.
Cheers
Ok, created the workout. Synced with watch... Where do I find it now?
Okay, using the "start/select" button (upper right) select Menu ---> Training --> My Workouts. From there you should be able to scroll down to the workout and select it. It will say "Do Workout." You might scroll down to "View," which will allow you to confirm the steps of the workout before you start. If you don't see the workout in question, you might have to re-sync. This happens to me on occasion, when battery is low. Hope that helps!
That did help. I realized (read: had to research) that while this is a great feature it isn't available on the vivosport or hr+ bands. A quick review suggests that being able to follow workouts is limited to other garmin wearables. Thanks for the video and response!
You bet!
I liked your video and you looking beautiful :)
Does it automatically give you a gap between the warm up and the start run?
From one step to the next, there is not really a gap, unless you program one in. For example, after your warm up, you could program in a 5 minute "rest" if you want to do some kind of dynamic drills before starting the next set. If it's programmed, then the watch will keep track. Otherwise, you might hit the stop button and restart when you begin your main set.
@@HeatherJergensen Ok, thank you.
i have a garmin forerunner 235 and a connot sinc my workouts from my phone to watch. Can anybody help me? thank you
I've had trouble with this, too lately. I would encourage you to call the Garmin Support Center. I just had to keep trying. Sometimes your watch memory is full and it won't take any more data, so you might dump the activities to create more room.
The watch is new, just bought, so I don't have so many activities. The idea is that the watch is sinc with the phone(pace, distance, etc), expect the workouts which can be manually done in the Garmin Connect app. Not even on the computer I connot "sent to the device" (the device is not seen). Thank you
Heather Jergensen It would help people find your video if you added the word intervals in the title . for search reasons .
Thank you for the tip! I can never think of all the applicable keywords!
In garmin connect app on a phone or tablet , you tap on the 3 bars on the upper left corner then tap on training ,then tap on workouts then at the bottom tap on create a workout then tap on a workout icon like run or bike pool swim ect If you tap on run you will see the warm up, run and cool down options and under that you see add a step and add a repeat You don't do anything on the computer its all done in the app on the phone . I guess if you have a older watch that doesn't send the info to the phone you still have to do it the way you show it .
@@Sertao2013 Yeah, this video was done before that was an option, and I really like that update! Thank you!
Hi, I'm trying to create a swim workout. If I go with the trial and error process I might lose my workout. There is no video's available or maybe I'm looking in all the wrong places which I doubt.
If you are looking to specifically create a swim workout for the Forerunner 235, that device is not equipped to do so. Other models (735 XT, 920 XT, Garmin Swim) are equipped to create those workouts, but I do not have experience with those devices. I believe the mechanics are the same: create the Swim workout in Connect, then download to your device, but that device needs to be compatible for Swim workouts.
You could try a "Custom" workout in Connect, but if your device doesn't track pool laps specifically, you might have to manually hit the lap button to advance...
Sorry, that seems to be all the help I could provide. Good luck!
@@HeatherJergensen I'm using a 920XT where you are able to do the setup on the device. It is a little more challenging setting up in Connect which I sort off figured out. Now for the pool swim in the morning. I'll give feedback.
Thank you! I'd love to hear how it works. I'm in the market for a new multisport device...looking at the 735 vs. the 920.
Hi, I tested the unit in a 20 meter pool after having to create my workout in Connect, sent it to the device. I made sure that the devices pool setting was adjusted to a 20 meter pool and for every 100m it ended up beeping halfway in the pool length, if that makes sense.
I have my 920Xt for 2 years now and never had any issues on triathlon race day as to the open water swim. The more recent devices in a tri pack comes with a waterproof heart rate monitor. The 920 don't play along when used on a spinning bike, its pretty much good for zone training with indoor cycling. There'll come a time that you'll experience the low battery indication where nothing will work but there is a remedy for it, RESET which is to depress a few buttons simultaneously.
Great info! Thank you! My first Garmin was the old "orange brick," which I really didn't understand, so I'm looking forward to getting something new!
I’m just not sure why connecting the device is necessary? If it is, garmin should really work on this, after all on the computer one is logged in with their credentials, so it’d be logical if you could just sync to the watch.
This has been updated since this video released. It used to be you had to manually plug the watch in, but now the device syncs via bluetooth when paired.
Heather Jergensen oh I see! Thanks! I only just got it a few days ago and no laptop on hand to see these functions just yet :)
You bet! Thank you for watching!
Agoge Diet really took my diet to the next level. Not only diet, but life. I can see improvements in many aspects of my life. Guys, you rock! #*Agoge Diet*
