Garmin Descent G1 and adaptative training plan

Hi everyone,

I want to start my training for a marathon (April 2024), and I have a Garmin Descent G1 (I bought this one to be able to do my running training and I needed a diving computer as well: perfect choice for me).

I understand that there is different ways of planning a training with Garmin:

-Garmin Coach: it looks great but I can only so half-marathon with this functionality.

-Add an event in Garmin Connect: I added the event and my goal in term of duration. The issue is that it didn't generate any training plan in the calendar, and I don't know how to do it.

I really want an adaptative training plan using my current VO2 and metrics generated by the watch. I don't know what is the best way to generate that kind of plan.

Maybe someone could help me doing that?

Many thanks, in advance,

Raphael

There is no adaptive training plan for marathon, hence you cannot use any. You can only use a self-guided training plan. Check them out in Garmin Connect Web, there are 6 of them for marathon.

So how works the adaptive plan in general? I have the option in Connect to add my specific event (here Paris Marathon for instance), and it shows me a "training tab", but then when I want to click on it to send it to my Garmin, nothing happens.
