Workout Creation

One of Stridevox's most powerful features — ask the AI to create a structured workout, then send it directly to your Garmin watch with one click.

How It Works

  1. Ask the AI to create a workout in the Chat
  2. The AI generates a structured workout in Garmin-compatible format
  3. A Send to Garmin button appears on the workout block
  4. Click the button to upload it to your Garmin Connect account
  5. The workout syncs to your Garmin watch automatically

Asking for Workouts

In the Chat, simply describe what you want. Examples:

  • "Create an interval workout to improve my 5K time"
  • "Build me a tempo run for this week"
  • "Design a progressive long run workout"
  • "I want a speed session with 400m repeats"
  • "Create a recovery run workout with easy pace"

Be specific about your goals

The more detail you provide, the better the workout:

  • "Create a 10x400m interval workout with 90s recovery, targeting 4:00/km pace"
  • "Build a 60-minute tempo run that starts easy and finishes at threshold pace"

The Workout Block

When the AI generates a workout, it appears as a formatted code block in the chat with:

  • Workout structure (warm-up, intervals, cool-down)
  • Pace targets for each step
  • Duration or distance for each step
  • Recovery periods

Below the workout block, you'll see a Send to Garmin button.

Sending to Garmin

  1. Review the workout in the chat
  2. Click Send to Garmin
  3. Wait for the upload confirmation
  4. The workout appears in your Garmin Connect account under Training > Workouts
  5. Your Garmin watch syncs the workout on next connection

Workout uploaded!

A success notification confirms the workout has been sent to Garmin Connect.

Garmin connection required

You must have a connected Garmin account to use this feature. See Connecting Garmin.

Supported Workout Types

The AI can create workouts for:

  • Running — Intervals, tempo, long runs, fartlek, recovery
  • Cycling — Intervals, endurance, hill repeats
  • Walking — Structured walks with pace targets

Tips for Great Workouts

  1. Mention your current fitness level — helps the AI set appropriate targets
  2. Specify duration or distance — "30-minute workout" or "10K workout"
  3. Include recovery preferences — "with walking recovery" or "with jog recovery"
  4. Reference your data — "based on my recent 5K pace" lets the AI use your actual performance
  5. Iterate — if the workout isn't quite right, ask the AI to adjust: "Make the recovery periods longer" or "Add a warm-up"
