The Garmin Enduro 3 offers several new training plans and features designed to enhance the performance of ultra-endurance athletes. Key updates include:
New Training Features
- Strength Training Plans: The Enduro 3 introduces targeted strength training plans that span 4-6 weeks, which can be accessed through Garmin Connect. These plans are tailored to help users improve their strength and overall fitness levels[1][2].

- Preloaded Workouts: Users can access a variety of preloaded activity profiles for different sports, including running, swimming, biking, and skiing. The watch also supports animated workouts for cardio, strength training, yoga, and Pilates directly from the device[1][2].
- Garmin Coach Integration: This feature provides adaptive training plans based on user preferences and fitness goals. Users can select from various expert coaches and receive tailored guidance for their training[6][8].
Additional Features
- Enhanced Navigation Tools: The Enduro 3 is equipped with preloaded TopoActive maps and features like NextFork Map Guide for trail navigation. It also includes SatIQ technology for improved GPS accuracy during activities[1][4].
- User Interface Improvements: The watch has a revamped user interface that incorporates features from the Fenix 8 series, making it easier to navigate maps and access settings[2].
These enhancements make the Garmin Enduro 3 a versatile tool for athletes looking to optimize their training and performance in outdoor environments.
