Garmin 

Training Center Software

 

GTC software was  designed for the Forerunner® 301, Forerunner 201, Forerunner 305, Forerunner 205, Edge™ 305, and Edge 205 and is included with their purchase. 

 

The Garmin Training Center has two primary functions: analyzing what you've already done in your activity and planning what you want to do in future activities.

Analyzing History

Forerunner and Edge record an incredible amount of data from your running, biking or other outdoor activities. Now that you have this data, put it to work for you by uploading it to GTC for analysis and long-term storage. Once the data is transferred, your course is overlaid on a map, giving you a real-time picture of your performance at any point in your activity.

Planning Workouts

Following a structured workout schedule is an important element of any training program, and it's the key to reaching your fitness goals. With Garmin Training Center, creating and scheduling your workouts is simple. GTC even comes with several workout templates designed by the experts at 

which you can download directly to your Forerunner 205  301, and 305 (workouts cannot be downloaded to the Forerunner 201) and the Edge. The templates explain different types of workouts and why they are beneficial. In addition to helping you meet your goals, sticking to an established workout plan can help prevent injuries, especially if you're training for your first marathon or a similar race.

If you'd like a more detailed analysis of your activity, Garmin has partnered with 

 

an online service that allows you to upload your activities for storage and review. From their site, you can access a variety of Web-based tools including charts, reports, historical weather, split analysis and interactive maps, which let you "relive" your activities by simulating the exact route with media controls
