Final Surge has full integration with Garmin Connect, allowing athletes to push planned structured workouts to their Garmin devices as well as sync completed workouts from Garmin Connect to the Final Surge calendar.
There are two ways to push planned structured workouts to your Garmin Connect calendar. You can manually push single workouts from the Final Surge app to Garmin, or you can turn on the Auto-Sync feature within the Final Surge app which will automatically push down your next 4 days of planned structured workouts to Garmin each night.
Read below on how to set up the connection and enable the workout sync between Final Surge and Garmin Connect.
Connecting Final Surge to Garmin Connect
To set up the connection, open the Final Surge app and tap on the More menu (…) at the bottom of the app. From the More menu, click on Connected Apps:
From the Connected Apps page, tap on Garmin Connect:

Now that you have connected the accounts, all completed Garmin workouts will automatically sync to Final Surge.
Turning on Auto-Sync for Planned Structured Workouts
If you or your coach creates planned structured workouts on your Final Surge calendar, you can automatically sync your next 4 days of training to Garmin Connect so that you can view and execute the workouts on your Garmin device.
