Garmin Coach - Pause function not working (Bug)

1156375
over 1 year ago

When using the function "Pause", it actually doesn't do anything except from removing the reminders from your watch/Connect app... If a plan is paused because of illness or any other thing, for example 1 week, then the plan just continues in the background. Very annoyting. It could be by design, but if anyone ever used a function called "Pause" then they would know that you expect "time stands still" when using it.

 

Is there any fix for this bug?

    I cannot test it right now, but did you edit also the end date, when pausing or resuming the plan?

    From the FAQ:

    Can I Pause a Plan?

    Yes. Pausing a plan beyond the scheduled race date will cause the plan to be marked as completed. If you need to pause the plan past the race date, edit the plan to extend the race date instead of only pausing.

    No I did not... this is just very very bad design if this is the case... Then the function should not be called PAUSE, but RESCHEDULE or something like that.

    Well, when you do not move the end date, then there is not a lot could be done with a pause, else than skipping the workouts. So it is somehow logical that when you are injured or ill, you won't be able to reach your goal (at least not with the same plan) without rescheduling the end date.

    If you have a better idea, how to do it, do not hesitate to suggest it to Garmin: Share Ideas | Garmin

    I don't think it should skip any workouts, just reschedule them as soon as you choose to resume your schedule and the Pause function should suggest to move the end-date automaticly not just skip them by default. 

    I for one, have no idea on how to move the end date... So when I use the pause, it just ruins the whole plan, as I can not start from where I left it (as a pause function should do)

    Thanks for the suggestion, I will post my findings in the group mentioned.
