Changing the Race Date in a Garmin Coach Plan

I'm into week 11 of a 14-week training plan with coach Greg and accidentally changed the race date to a week later than the actual race. Now I cannot change it back at all! Don't want to abandon then plan plus I cannot see the upcoming activities beyond one week so I cannot even enter them manually!

Luckily, I have a running buddy who's on the same plan, but their pace is 30 sec faster so it's not quite the same. I've been skipping through planned activities (using lap button) and then manually entering and running my friend's workouts with reduced pace but there is no way to link these manual activities to the plan.

Any other ideas would be appreciated. And no response from Garmin support so far :/

All,

The issue here with adjusting the race date has a few variables, including how many weeks into the plan the user is, how many weeks remain in the plan, the actual Coach and limitations that they set…

Not a peep from Garmin, unfortunately.

If this is unsuccessful for you, please post a series of screenshots or a screen recording showing the error/result from your attempted change.

Please read the original post. Moving the date forward is not a problem. What instructions fail to mention is that it's not possible to move the date back! Say I'm on a plan and I move the race date by 1 week to the future. I will NOT be able to change it back to the original race date. The original calendar dates are simply disabled.

Same issue. @Garmin--Kevin the problem raises when you move for example 3weeks forward a race date and you want reset it after a while. The system allows you to bring back max 1 week early the newest race date.

So Acaccia, you're saying that you CAN make multiple adjustments but you're asking that the adjustment window for the second adjustment be widened? Is that accurate?

0 The Enabler over 2 years ago in reply to Garmin-Kevin

Garmin-Kevin kind of "widened", yes. After moving race date into the future, it currently does not allow to bring it back to the original race day. in Acaccia's case it seems to have allowed the move up to 1 week earlier, in my case it didn't allow any move to earlier dates at all.

Garmin-Kevin with all due respect, this is not a feature, it is a bug. If I had a race date set to 15th of December and then changed it to 22nd of December, I should be able to change it back to 15th of December because the original date is still within the training plan! Right now, Garmin stops me from restoring the original date!

Garmin-Kevin yes, i made first change from 4th december to 31th december. When I try to reset date to 4th december, system enables only from 26th december. Also if I select 26th december, system doesn't allow to bring back race date more thank this.
