You might have noticed that we introduced some new integration with Garmin Connect - now Xert workouts can be exported directly to Garmin Connect! Note there are some pro’s and con’s to this functionality. Consider your needs when choosing whether to use the Xert Workout Player App or the native Garmin workout functionality:
Pro’s: Use your preferred data fields while doing a workout Use course routing/navigation when riding in an unfamiliar area
Con’s: Workouts lose SMART functionality 50 interval limit No ramped or curved intervals

I am really loving this feature and it has totally supplanted my use of the Xert Workout Player for outdoor training.
I noticed that many of the recommended workouts do not have the sync to Garmin function, and I assume that this is due to the 50 interval limit, and in these cases I’ve resorted to recreating the workout in Garmin Connect manually.
However, it occurs to me that if your conversion routine could use make use of repeats, then most of the workouts would be syncable. For example, HOP workouts are really just warmup, 30 x (15s on, 1.45 off), cooldown rather than 62 steps.
