Get your plan onto Garmin

Right now, uploading your converted plan to Garmin still needs a small one-time setup on your computer.

We’re working on making this more automatic. Until then, these steps will get your workouts into Garmin Connect in a clean, beginner-friendly way.

Before you start, download both files from the converter above: your JSON file and the import_plan.py script.

1

Open Terminal

Press Command (⌘) + Space, type Terminal, then press Enter.

💡 Terminal looks a bit technical. That is normal. You only need a few simple commands here.
2

Check Python

Type this and press Enter:

python3 --version

If you see something like Python 3.x.x, you’re good.

⚠️ If you get “command not found”, install Python from python.org first.
3

Install the Garmin library

This only needs to be done once on your computer.

pip3 install garminconnect
4

Move both files to your Desktop

Put your JSON file and import_plan.py together on your Desktop. That makes the next step much easier.

5

Go to the Desktop in Terminal

cd ~/Desktop
6

Run the upload script

Replace your_plan.json with the exact filename of your JSON file.

# Replace your_plan.json with your actual filename python3 import_plan.py your_plan.json

The script will ask for your Garmin email and password. Your password will not show while typing. That is normal.

7

Let it upload

You should start seeing confirmations like this:

OK: 2026-04-07 | Intervals 5x3min | workoutId=123456 OK: 2026-04-09 | Easy Run 5km | workoutId=123457 ...
✅ Once you see OK lines, the workouts are in Garmin Connect. Open the app and sync your watch.

⚠️ Important: tick Add Python to PATH during installation. Missing that causes most of the headaches.
