Hi
I use my Garmin Forerunner 205 on a Mac and want to download the marathon schedules from the RW website but can't get it to work. Looks like I need a version of Garmin Training Centre (3.1) that I can't download for the mac, but am I right? I've spent ages doing this and it's driving me mad - can anyone help at all?
Cheers
Kate

If you go to http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3339 you should be able to download Mac compatible Training Center software.
Hope that helps.
Henry, do you have the contact details of that techy at RW so I can get in touch myself?
Thanks henry, but that e-mail bounces:

In the email address I believe it should be spelt Rodale NOT Roadale.
I'm guessing that many/most RW staff machines are Mac based (standard platform for much design and journalism...)? Are they finding a way around this issue?

Hi guys
Just to let you know we are looking into this for you - hope to post an update soon.
Thanks for your patience.
Hey All,
Unfortunately, as you're finding out, the Garmin Schedules are not compatible with Macs. They weren't last year either, but I've contacted the helpful chaps at Garmin and asked if they can come up with a solution before the 16 weeks start. I can't promise anything but we'll certainly look into this for you and try our best.
I see some of you are also have issues with the dates once you've carried out the download. Can I ask you to supply me with the link to the schedule you're downloading, the version of Training Center you're using and finally any pace or HRM variables you're inputting.
Thanks for your patience and sorry for any frustration caused.

Thanks a lot Daniel, please keep us posted. One work-round would be to find a technologically-backward friend with a PC, persuade them to let me put Training Centre on their PC, download the workout, and then sync my Garmin to their PC, then sync it with the Mac, and the schedule will be uploaded to the Mac.
Colin... 13/04/2008 is March 13th? What's the problem?
Hi Tony,
Can I ask you to try and download the schedule from the this page please? You will need to enter the date you wish to race on but apart from that everything is the same.
Please let me know how you get on.
Thanks
Dan RW
Hi Tony,
Could I also ask you to email me the wkt file that seems to be providing the wrong date?

Hi
I have just bought a garmin 305 and was considering returning it ( its a long story). Am I reading that Garmins and macs dont work that well together generally, or is the problem the RW download?
As I understand it, but others with deeper understanding may want to elaborate, they will work perfectly well as far as downloading your runs and so on. The problem seems to be that the Mac version won't read the *.wkt schedule files (int his case the RW ones, but one imagine it would be the same for all.
I've now tried the work round of using a friend's PC...no joy, as I then ran up against the wrong race date issue.
And there's no quick way of deleting a whole schedule...as far as I can see I have to delete every scheduled run one by one. Grrr
Hi
Any news on getting the date right to the 13 APRIL 2008???
Cheers
Hi,
I'm suffering from the date problem aswell!
If i do as my Garmin tells me from the downloaded schedule does this make me a month ahead in my training?!
HELP!
