Which watches and services you can connect, and what comes in from them
Garmin, Apple Health, Suunto, COROS, Polar, Wahoo, Strava, Intervals.icu, Google Calendar and the lactometer: what comes into Training Endurance from each, and what goes back.
Connect your watch or service once, and your workouts — and for some services, health data too — come in by themselves. Planned workouts from your calendar go to the watch: see How a workout gets to your watch.
Where to connect
Settings → Settings tab → the Account connect card. Click a service, then Connect, and allow access on the service's page. On a phone, Connect is inside the service's window.
The card is shown only in athlete mode. A coach who trains too can switch with Switch to Athlete on the My account tab.
To disconnect a service, click Disconnect in its window. Workouts and health data that have already come in stay, and new ones stop coming.
What comes in and what goes out
| Service | Workouts to us | Plan from the calendar | Health data |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garmin Connect | yes | to the watch | sleep, HRV, stress, daily summary, respiration, SpO2, blood pressure, skin temperature, weight |
| Apple Health + Watch | yes, in the iPhone app | to Apple Watch | no |
| Suunto | yes, new ones only | to the watch | sleep, HRV, SpO2, stress, daily summary |
| COROS | yes | to the watch | sleep, HRV, resting heart rate |
| Polar | yes | no | sleep, Nightly Recharge, SpO2 |
| Wahoo | yes | to the device | no |
| Strava | yes | no | no |
| Intervals.icu | yes | as events | no |
| Google Calendar | no | as events in Google Calendar | no |
| Lactometer TE | lactate readings | no | no |
- Suunto sends only new workouts: edits and deletions made in Suunto don't reach us.
- Intervals.icu sends the workouts uploaded to it. Through it you can connect services that aren't on the list: Zwift, MyWhoosh, Amazfit and many others.
- Lactometer TE covers TE and Eaglenos lactometers. Readings come over Bluetooth into the matching workouts. It connects in the mobile app or in a browser with Web Bluetooth: Chrome or Edge on a computer, Chrome on Android.
Apple Health and Apple Watch
Apple Health connects only in the iPhone app: in a browser, its row says "Only in the iPhone app".
Workouts come in from Health with heart rate, distance, energy, steps, flights climbed and the route. Running power, stride length and ground contact time come from iOS 16 on, cycling power and cadence from iOS 17 on. Sleep, HRV, weight and resting heart rate don't come in from Health.
- Automatically. Turn on the automatic import with the toggle in the Apple Health window. The app looks for new workouts from the last 7 days — when you open it and when a new workout appears in Health.
- By hand. Pick a workout from the "Workouts in last 60 days" list.
If Garmin, Strava, Polar, Suunto, COROS or Wahoo is connected to Training Endurance directly, the automatic import skips the workouts their apps wrote to Health: they come in directly.
To send workouts to Apple Watch, see How a workout gets to your watch.
When workouts come in
A completed workout comes in by itself once your watch syncs with its service's app — for example, Garmin Connect.
Not all past workouts may come in when you connect. If a workout is missing, load its day by hand: in the calendar, open the day's menu → Upload a workout from your device. Training Endurance asks every connected service for that day. The day is counted in UTC: if the workout was late in the evening or early in the morning, try the next or previous day too.
You can bring in your whole Garmin history with its export — see How to import your whole Garmin history.
A workout deleted in Garmin stays here: delete it in the calendar.
One workout from several services
If the same workout comes in from two services, for example Garmin and Strava, you won't get a duplicate: records with the same start and a similar duration are put together into one workout. The record from the source with fuller data is shown. Where the data comes from is on the Source card in the workout's window.
Health data
Sleep, HRV and other metrics come in from Garmin, Suunto, COROS and Polar. If some days are missing, request them by hand: in the service's window, in the Sync Health Data block, choose a period — 7, 14, 30 or 90 days — and click Sync Health Data. The block is shown when the service is connected.
The Garmin window also has a Data Permissions block. If a permission isn't granted, reconnect Garmin and approve everything it asks for.
If nothing comes in
If you clicked Don't allow on the Health data screen or withdrew that consent, data from devices isn't accepted and workouts don't go to your watch. To give your consent again, see Your coach can't see you.
