Training Plans, what do you think?

Just stumbled onto this feature of Connect on the web ( connect.garmin.com/.../training-plan ).

I'm curious to hear from those who have used it, and what you think.

I started running a couple years ago (I'm now 59). I do about 8 5Ks a year (times races). Tend to finish in the top 25%. I have even managed a couple podium finishes, mostly due to luck. 

I typically run at least 3 times a week ( 2 ~ 4 miles each run). 

I've run 10K a couple times, on my own. 

I have dreams of a half, maybe even a full, marathon. 

Have you found the training programs helpful for reaching a goal? 

Would I benefit from 5K training, before moving onto longer distances?  

I have the FR235, so heart rate training is an option.

Thank you in advance & Happy New Year,

Eric
