Garmin workout builder

Build structured running workouts for Garmin

RunSync gives runners a focused Garmin workout builder for creating warm-ups, intervals, recoveries, tempo work, pace targets, and cool-downs without repeatedly rebuilding the same sessions inside Garmin Connect.

Create the workout in RunSync, review the structure, save or schedule it when your plan supports it, then sync eligible workouts to Garmin Connect for compatible Garmin watches.

A Garmin workout builder made for running sessions

Garmin Connect can create workouts, but runners who build intervals, threshold sessions, progression runs, and reusable templates often need a faster planning workflow.

RunSync focuses on structured running workouts. The page you build is the session you plan to run: warm up, repeat the work, recover properly, cool down, and send supported workouts to Garmin when you are ready.

Build clear workout steps

Add warm-ups, running steps, recoveries, repeat blocks, tempo sections, and cool-downs in a runner-focused builder.

Create repeat intervals faster

Set up sessions like 6 x 3 minutes hard with 2 minutes easy recovery without rebuilding every step manually.

Use pace guidance

Apply compatible pace targets when your workout needs easy, steady, threshold, interval, or recovery guidance.

Send supported workouts to Garmin

Connect Garmin and sync supported structured workouts to Garmin Connect for compatible Garmin watches.

Why use RunSync instead of only Garmin Connect?

Garmin Connect remains the place for your Garmin account, devices, activities, and wider fitness data. RunSync does not replace it.

RunSync is useful when you want a focused running workout builder, especially for interval sessions, repeatable templates, pace-guided workouts, and calendar planning before Garmin sync.

Garmin Connect is best for:

Managing your Garmin account, watch, activities, device settings, and fitness data.

RunSync is best for:

Creating structured running workouts quickly, reviewing them clearly, and syncing supported sessions to Garmin Connect.
