Garmin 305 Workouts

I'm hoping some fo you may own or have used a Garmin 305 Forerunner in the past. I'm trying to download workouts from Garmin  Training Center to the watch, and none of them are downloading. There are some example workouts that download fine, but they don't do what I want.

I'm getting the message that the workouts are not supported. How can that be when they are using the same software as the pre-designed examples?

I have been working on it for over 2 hours, and it's beginning to tick me off. I want to setup multiple steps to a single workout that includes mileage at one zone, and then transition into another workout in another zone. Trying to get my Interval/Lactate/Repr workout done in the same workout.

Thanks for any suggestions if you have them.

Hi Jay, I have the same garim, mine is a little dusty from lack of use. I had similar problems down loading group runs myself, what I found is I had too many downloaded I need to erase a few then I could add more. I hope this helps.  

it is a
PEBCAK error

 Thanks Paul your a huge help. 

it's possible that the workouts have a feature that isn't supported on the 305

I have seen this where I tried to create a workout that was OK for one of the bike computers or for one of their newer watches but it wouldn't work on the 305

In my case it was related to one of the fields tha had to do with (do x so many time or for so long then go on to the next step.  I don't know if it was the field of how many steps I had nested in there but when I simplified the workout it was fine, but as it would throw errors saying it wasn't supported)

Not sure if this is the problem you are having but it is what happened with mine.

 Scott,

It sounds pretty close to being the issue. I will check and see if I simplify some fields if the workout can then be uploaded.

Thanks,
