I love using garmin connect, but I only have a couple of contacts on there. I like seeing what other people are doing (distance, pace, etc) because that motivates me. If any of you are on garmin connect, I'd love for you to send me a connection request or I can send you one. My handle on there is "mneilwoodall," the same as my MFP handle. Thanks.

Neil

    Howdy Neil, I'll send you a request. I'm "smurf1993" on Garmin Connect if any of you want to add me. -Jeremy

    My Garmin Connect id is rbsharpe56 (I'm terrible at keeping it up to date - I have a pile of editing to do as it automatically thinks everything is running with the Forerunner 610)

    All my stuff gets uploaded there, but I never log in. I use RunningAhead.com as my primary log.

    Same screen name as here, but I don't do the social stuff there. It's more of a backup to the backup. Like Carson, I use (and strongly endorse) RunningAhead.com

    Is there a social aspect to it? If there is, I haven't really seen it! I also mostly park my workouts there and use Sporttracks3 for analysis. I am also on Strava, same username, if anyone is interested in that.

    If you're using Garmin Connect you've got to grab a copy of ConnectStats for your iOS device.

    Unfortunately, Garman Connect rolled out a new version recently. They broke quite a few things, including the automatic login feature in ConnectStats. Despite that, I would recommend that you download ConnectStats - there's a manual log in feature that you can use until Garmin and ConnectStats play nice again.

    If you're talking about RunningAhead, there's no social aspect or "friends," except for some messageboards.

    as a grizzled veteran of Garmin's "upgrades", I haven't done anything with the latest stuff they rolled out. I love my 310xt, but I get nervous when they start messing around with things...

    No, I was talking about GC. I do like seeing what other folks are doing in the feed.
  • Just sent you a request. Did you know you can automatically import your Garmin runs into RunKeeper then sync that with myfitnesspal? It works seamlessly. I use my Garmin 610 for all my tracking. By syncing it across, my Data is stored in 2 locations, and it's automatically entered into myfitnesspal under exercise for me.

    I tried this, but it imported the runkeeper calories over, instead of my garmin, which is much lower (and my sense is, more accurate). Is there a workaround for this?

    I dont have the answer but am wondering the same thing. I use a TDEE model so would prefer not to sync calorie data at all

    I haven't actually used my Garmin yet - I'm such a low-tech girl. But I will one of these days and would love to have friends on there when I start using it. I'd be happy for anyone to add me!

    I don't really log on except to load workouts from my garmin. I use TrainingPeaks more because that's where my training programs are kept.
