Training with Your Edge

Courses allow you to train using a
previously recorded activity. You can
follow the course trying to match
or exceed previously set goals. For
example, if the original course was
completed in 30 minutes, you will
race against a Virtual Partner
®
trying
to complete the course in under 30
minutes.
You can create a course from your own
activity, or you can send a course from
Garmin Connect to your device.
