I can't get the workouts sent to my FR610, neither via GC nor Training Center. Corresponsing with Garmin support for week, who come up with ideas mainly relating to changing browser setting or doing master reset. None of these have worked so far.

Basicaly, when I go through the steps of sending workouts to device, I get the message all is well and sent but nothing shows on the device.

Has anyone got any advice??

Thanks i have been doing this a lot. I was even running before getting a garmin, imagine that.
Trying to follow a training plan and it would be nice to get it sent to the watch rather than put in manually. Surely, I can live without it, but I tend to get frustrated if something is supposed to work in a certain way and doesn't

Take it you are looking in the Advanced Workout section and not just under workouts?

As in - Menu - Training - Workouts - Advanced "workout should be listed here"

I guess you have done this, but when I got my Forerunner I had a similar problem. Solved it by turning the computer on and off. Suddenly all was well.

Thanks HRHB - unfortunately I'd tried and no joy...
My workouts don't show 'advanced' - just 'custom' - not there either. Garmin support went quiet

Check to make sure you do not have data transfer selected to off

Select Setup - System - Data Transfer - Data Transfer - On

Had similar issue and having googled this your workout name might be too long. I shortened the workout name to less than 15 characters and it transferred to the workouts/custom section on the watch.

I presume you have updated the garmin to the latest firmware, I did this recently and it communicates via the dongle a lot more reliably since i've done this.

I'm on a Mac and find using the Garmin Training Centre to create then upload the workouts is fine, not tried it from the website itself.

If you go into Custom Workouts what do you see nothing? mine sometime upload with a blank name but when you go into it the workout is there.

Thanks Booktrunk. I almost gave up and was meaning to re-install Ant+ agent after the hols, only to discover suddenly the workouts from HM RW programmes have found their way to my watch (with several weeks' delay)- via Traning Center. The Connect download still doesn't work, and it is their training plan I am followijgn, so I guess I will try re-instaling when I get round to it...

Can you download the program as a whole to your desktop, then import it into the Training Center then from there to the watch...

Tedious but might give you the control to change / modify the plan when it's in the Training Center
