When I’m training for a long-distance running event like a marathon, there’s one feature I use on my Garmin Epix Pro, and now on the Garmin Fenix 8, that proves more useful than almost any other – route creation. With a few taps on Garmin Connect, I can ask the app to automatically generate a circular route that starts and ends in the same place. Occasionally the distance needs tweaking – it might serve up an 18.5 km run when I selected 20 km – but generally, the feature works splendidly. 

Once I have the route, I send the GPX file to my best Garmin watch by syncing it – the work of a moment – and bam, I have turn-by-turn directions on my watch via maps and alerts to turn at the correct times. This allows me to completely switch off from having to navigate my way around the course and simply focus on my run.
