Training Unified Training Status When you use more than one Garmin device with your Garmin Connect account, you can choose which device is the primary data source for everyday use and for training purposes. From the Garmin Connect app menu, select Settings. Primary Training Device: Sets the priority data source for training metrics like your training status and load focus. Primary Wearable: Sets the priority data source for daily health metrics like steps and sleep. This should be the watch you wear most often. TIP: For the most accurate results, Garmin recommends that you sync often with your Garmin Connect account. Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements You can sync activities and performance measurements from other Garmin devices to your epix watch using your Garmin Connect account. This allows your watch to more accurately reflect your training status and fitness. For example, you can record a ride with an Edge® bike computer, and view your activity details and overall training load on your epix watch. Sync your epix watch and other Garmin devices to your Garmin Connect account. TIP: You can set a primary training device and primary wearable in the Garmin Connect app (Unified Training Status, page 38). Recent activities and performance measurements from your other Garmin devices appear on your epix watch. Training for a Race Event Your watch can suggest daily workouts to help you train for a running or cycling event, if you have a VO2 max. estimate (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 56). 1 On your phone or computer, go to your Garmin Connect calendar. 2 Select the day of the event, and add the race event. You can search for an event in your area or create your own event. 3 Add details about the event, and add the course if it's available. 4 Sync your watch with your Garmin Connect account. 5 On your watch, scroll to the primary event glance to see a countdown to your primary race event. 6 From the watch face, press START, and select a running or cycling activity. NOTE: If you have completed at least 1 outdoor run with heart rate data or 1 ride with heart rate and power data, daily suggested workouts appear on your watch. Race Calendar and Primary Race When you add a race event to your Garmin Connect calendar, you can view the event on your watch by adding the primary race glance (Glances, page 50). The event date must be in the next 365 days. The watch displays a countdown to the event, your goal time or predicted finish time (running events only), and weather information. NOTE: Historical weather information for the location and date is available right away. Local forecast data appears approximately 14 days before the event. If you add more than one race event, you are prompted to choose a primary event. Depending on the available course data for your event, you can view elevation data, the course map, and add a PacePro™ plan (PacePro Training, page 43). 38 Training
