Suggestions for Garmin Coach

3116968 over 3 years ago

Hello,

I am using the Garmin Coach feature for the first time and I am quite happy with it.

I would like to propose couple of changes:

Long term planning: I think it would be good to have a certain view on the whole plan. To organise the training and also family life :D. Not knowing but for one week in advance is not enough to plan around the training.
Strength slot: With my current schedule is difficult to add a strength slot between the long run and the quality one after. My legs are unable to do it. However, I think that some strength training is important. The Garmin Coach could consider planning those too through the weeks.

I hope you find these interesting.

Best regards,

Since Garmin Coach programs are adaptive, it's somewhat difficult to give an overall plan, since the plan changes dynamically based on your progress, number of workouts etc.

However, this link might contain the kind of information you are after:

Thanks! Very good answer. The link you provided is very good and already answer my point on strength training. Not with Greg :D.

I agree that, as the plans are adaptative, it may change over time. Still, I'd rather have changes in the plan that no knowledge at all. For example, I am planning to run some shorter races during my half-marathon preparation. It would be nice to know when that would be better or to indicate it to the plan.
