Workout to Garmin

Post by Tomyallen » December 30th, 2020, 2:37 am

Hello everyone,

I am new to the Concept...we finally got through the waitlist to get our own rower this winter.

I've run into an issue today that I just can't solve myself and other FAQ's just aren't answering the question.

My objective is to get today's workout onto my Garmin account.

When I went for the workout my phone disconnected really early so the workout never got saved to the ErgData app which meant the workout was never uploaded.

So I installed the Concept Utility and downloaded the workout onto my USB. From there I got it uploaded to the Logbook. However it never posted to Garmin. (I didn't find out about the .fit files till after this mishap)

I tried un-connecting and re-connecting the Garmin account which did nothing. I figured the upload to Garmin happens from the transfer between ErgData to the Logbook. So after making sure the workout was now on ErgData from my manual upload I deleted the workout from the Logbook and tried to reupload from ErgData...no success.

So then I attempted to upload again from the Utility. However the option isn't there because it states its 'already uploaded'.

So TLDR:
Workout is on ErgData and USB
Trying to get workout to Garmin

If anyone has a solution I would be very grateful. I don't really care what happens with the Logbook but I really want this session on my Garmin Account.

Thanks in Advance!

Surprised nobody answered this...

Link your concept2 logbook to Garmin through the Garmin Connect portal.
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/setti ... nformation

From the link above, you should be able to find a section labeled "Connected Apps" - This is where you will find Concept 2 Logbook Uploader and can input your logbook credentials so that they can connect.

SOMETHING TO NOTE:
Garmin Connect will not update your Training Effect and VO2Max information from the C2 Logbook data that gets imported.

The closest way I have found to get that information recorded, is to use the ErgIQ App with my Garmin Watch - this way it gets recorded thru the Garmin Connect App, and it will give you updates related to your training load - not certain about VO2 Max yet, still watching that metric.
