Hi Gamin peeps,
I've had a recent struggle with Garmin express and I wanted to make sure you guys knew about it so you can implement a fix even though I managed to work through it. Today I tried to upload a half-marathon training schedule to my watch (which contains 77 training items, half marathon HR level 2). The first time I tried, express hung in the middle of syncing. I disconnected my watch, and then force killed it. This (soft)-bricked my watch (after it hung on the updating... screen), would not recommend. After doing a hard reset on my watch and getting all my normal settings back on it, I tried again. It hung in the exact same spot. I waited and extra 10 minutes or so just to make sure, and then this time I killed express, and then unplugged the watch, which at least seemed to not brick it. In addition, my watch actually does have the schedule on it now (well, at least up to sept 21 - the whole program goes to nov 28).
Anyways, I've attached a log from express for you.

Ok, scratch that, this forum's attachment software is garbage (I don't know how "invalid file" can possibly apply to plaintext). Because I am also a developer and feel your pain, I uploaded it here:

While I'm at it, there appears to be no way to upload past records to the watch using the connect web app. That would be nice.
Lemme know if you need more info.
