Garmin Coach - Room to Grow

Former Member
Former Member
Hi Garmin

I’m doing second iteration of running with Garmin Coach. Since the week 9 (last) my runs get ‘Room to Grow’ rating but I can’t find what does that really mean specifically or which metric it thinks I could improve on. I haven’t changed anything about how I do the trainings and its confidence is still on the border of green and purple.

Help please!
  • IvorPrebeg I'm not sure - I only ever seem to get Good Job no matter whether the runs are good or bad for me subjectively. Are you running at or above the suggested pace for the training sessions?

    Pretty sure I’m doing it at suggested or better of what I see in the training plan. That’s what puzzles me.

    Hi!
    I’m in the exact same situation.
    I’ve just reached week 9 and I’ve been getting “room to grow” for my runs since then. Like you I’m running at the expected pace or faster.
    I was wondering what it meant as well. Would be great to get an answer from Garmin!
  • Delphine I would assume that from your heart rate and other metrics that whilst you are hitting the target zones it has calculated that you have the capability to improve. I really wouldn't place much reliance on the messages I have never seen anything other good job whether the training session was good or bad.
  • I started getting the "room to grow message" at the same time that Coach Greg started giving me a pace target of 0:56-1:33/km. I'm pretty sure I can't run that fast.ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1470345.jpg
  • I got my first room to grow today. I wish it would explain what that means. Was my heart rate too high or too low? Was my pace too fast, too slow or both?

  • How do you tag Garmin Coach Greg...
