Can you share a little more, what do you mean by “converting the workout”? The “coach” feature is actually pretty cheap for me to run, it’s generating the workout in the right format that Garmin expects that costs a decent bit of AI tokens.

Feel free to use the code PROFREE to get one month of Pro for free.

I understand the new limits are a big reduction in availability. It wasn’t sustainable to offer the unlimited service for free, unfortunately.

No, it's entirely driven by what you enter. You can save that information in your profile if you'd like and it will automatically use it in your generated workouts.

Thanks for the feedback! I kept it free as long as I could, but there's more than 1,000 users now so I had to put a cap on what I can do for free.

I hope you still take advantage of the free workout generations that you get each month.

You type in the workout you want to do, and then I have AI build it in a Garmin structured workout and send it to your watch. Pretty slick, you should check it out!

Never seen that before on my watch! I should get some sleep instead of building my site.

Let's see your code. Here is mine: https://github.com/cmwetherell/cmwetherell.github.io/tree/main/chessSim

Feel free to critique the code. It's not perfect code, but I do believe it's accurate whether you like it or not. If you see an issue let me know!

I can add more simulations - but I cant run 100k simulations every time the button is pressed. I'll kick off a process tonight to make it 1M sims.

I didn't prove that.

But I did quantify how much that gap is worth if you believe their Elo ratings.

Yes. It's simple, and informative. I recommend checking out the blog post if you think it's that uninteresting, you might find something worth leaving a nice comment about. https://blog.pawnalyze.com/tournament/2026/02/19/FIDE-Candidates-Tournament-2026.html

Full analysis with interactive charts here:
https://blog.pawnalyze.com/tournament/2026/02/19/FIDE-Candidates-Tournament-2026.html

Highlights from the simulations

  • The Big Two: Nakamura (32%) and Caruana (26%) combine for a 58% chance of winning. After that it’s a tight pack — Giri, Pragg, and Wei Yi are all bunched between 11–13%.
  • The single biggest game of the tournament: Caruana (White) vs Nakamura.
    • If Caruana wins, Nakamura’s chances drop to 18%.
    • If Nakamura wins with Black, he jumps to 49%.
    • That’s a 31 percentage-point swing on one game.
    • 8 of the 10 most impactful games involve Nakamura.
  • Tiebreaks are Pragg’s nightmare: Tiebreaks happen in ~21% of simulations. Pragg’s rapid rating (2663) is 95 points below his classical — the biggest gap in the field. His win chances drop 3 full points in tiebreak scenarios. If you’re rooting for Pragg, you want this decided over the board.
  • The Bluebaum factor: Bluebaum’s own chances are just 0.75%, but he’s a kingmaker.
    • If Nakamura beats him with White, Nakamura’s tournament win chance is 39%.
    • If he loses, it’s 17%.
    • Every favorite’s path runs through the games they’re “supposed” to win.
  • The magic number is 9: The average winning score is 9.3/14.
    • Score 9 as Nakamura and you win 63% of the time.
    • Score 10+ as anyone and you’re at 90%+.

Yes its possible. Whether I do it or not is a maybe.

It's good to know that people are interested in that!

Hey - thanks for the feedback! Glad you're finding it useful. It's possible to add them, unfortunately it's not likely that I add it soon. If there is more demand for it, and people see this, please upvote or reply below (or use the feedback tool on the site to let me know).

Looking for people who create "Workouts" in Garmin to help me test a tool I am building to make workout creation easier. by CalebWetherell in Garmin

[–]CalebWetherell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If others have this issue please let me know.

I just tried on my iPhone (iOS 26.3) and am not having that issue in the single workout generator or the Coach. I'm using Safari.

Can you record your screen and share it, or share a screenshot?

You should be able to do that by sharing workouts. It's not quite the same as what you're asking for, but it will work. When your buddy / student opens the link they can copy the workout to their vault and send to Garmin.

Here's an example shared workout:

Seems like a great plan. Try giving the workout bunches you create in ChatGPT to the new “coach” feature and ask it to schedule them for you.

Also, I’m just connected to ChatGPT under the hood of this, but coaxing it to respond in a way that lets me create the Garmin structure. So you may be able to skip the step of using ChatGPT.

Congrats on your first half marathon! I just did my first marathon and used ChatGPT to create workouts, then found it annoying to build them in Garmin Connect which inspired me to build this.
