Garmin run coach: Suggested runs not in sync between 7X watch and mobile/web

I'm using the new Garmin Run Coach to train for a HM.

The suggested workout in the watch is Threshold, while in the Garmin Connect (either on Android mobile or Web) changed to Base(was initially Threshold as in the watch). I forced sync a couple of times but suggested workouts are still not coherent.

Watch: Garmin 7X

Software version: 19.34

  • Same here with Garmin Cycling Coach. I can force a sync by restarting the watch. But that can't be a long-term solution...

  • Syncing with Garmin Express fixed it for me. Happy again

  • But this can't be a long-term solution either. We should check and sync every day...

  • Yesterday, I had a Sprint workout scheduled, but I couldn't complete it due to rain. Today, the watch suggests a Base training workout (which was its initial suggestion before skipping yesterday's workout). This seems reasonable, especially since tomorrow's suggested workout is Threshold.

    However, the web-based Garmin Connect platform suggests a Sprint workout instead, albeit with a lower load compared to yesterday's Sprint suggestion.

    Interestingly, if I follow the watch's suggested workout, it gets accepted and integrated into Garmin Run Coach Plan, even though the suggestions don't align across all platforms.

    Until this inconsistency is resolved, I suppose I'll rely solely on the watch for suggested workouts.

  • 19.38 (currently beta) fixed the issue.

  • I am facing the same issue with a Garmin Cycling Coach plan and a Fenix8/iOS/Web environment: The suggestions between the watch and iOS/web are different most of the time. Sometimes only in duration, most of the time different types (BASE vs. SPRINT). I tries the turn off/on suggestion which didn't work for me, Garmin Express is no option since the Fenix 8 is not recognized there.

    My current workaround is to rely on what the watch is saying. First, because it is "closer" to me having all the data (sleep, HRV, etc.) at hand, secondly I am using the watch for controlling my smart trainer.

    However it would be nice if that could be fixed that the suggested workouts would be the same across all platforms.
