Garmin coach: benchmark run not registering - and therefore not providing other workouts

6824435

I did the benchmark run for a garmin coach plan - it shows in my activities in connect on the right day, but somehow is not synching with garmin coach. Garmin coach seems to still be waiting for me to do the benchmark run, and therefore isn't populating any of the workouts. Can I/you make them synch, or somehow manually enter it? I don't want to waste another day.

    If you only see a Benchmark workout offered, it is because there is no running VO2 max estimate on your account. Refer to this FAQ for information on receiving a VO2 max estimate.

    Make sure your activity is called Benchmark Run and has not saved as Benchmark Run - Location Of Run

    if it has done this you have to go into activities in settings and rename / edit the workout to call it Benchmark Run

    after this go into your plan in garmin coach and pause it, then resume it. It should now work.

    this seems like a programming issue in the garmin app.

    I have a new Forerunner 265 and started a Garmin Run Coach 5K plan with a 20-minute goal. I completed the Benchmark Run on 12 October, and Garmin Connect shows the completed 5.05 km activity with a VO₂ max estimate of 43. However, the plan still schedules another Benchmark Run and shows “Workout – Stay tuned for details” for subsequent days. I have renamed the activity to “Benchmark Run,” synced the watch, and paused/resumed the plan, but the issue persists. Could you investigate whether the benchmark is linked to a stale plan or whether the Coach schedule needs to be refreshed on your side?

     I see that you have already reached out to support regarding this as well, and they have responded with some troubleshooting for you. Please make sure to try that and then let them know if you continue to experience the benchmark runs.
