Nike Run Club training plan

Hi,

I’m using NRC to have a marathon plan, and I made the first runs without my garmin forerunner 255. Yesterday I’ve made my long run with only my watch and the run is correctly synchronized with the app. But I cannot find a way to associate the run with my plan. I called Nike and they told me to ask Garmin. Does anyone found a workaround to associate a run with a Nike training plan?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks to both of you for the help. Trux, I mean NRC app. FlowState, after my workout yesterday, and many tries, I came to the same conclusion. So for now, I duplicate manually my NRC workout in the Garmin…

You have to start the workout when starting the activity. You cannot associate it retroactively. At least not without some serious hacking of the activity FIT file, AFAIK.

Thanks Trux, that was my guess. But doing so will duplicate the runs in the app no? I mean, starting the workout in the app and the activity on the watch, At the end there will be 2 runs in the app.
But perhaps I’m wrong. I’ll try in a while, I have a workout to do in 15’. See you.

Which app are you referring to? You cannot start any workout or activity with the Garmin Connect app. You have to start the workout on the watch: select the activity, long-press the Menu button, go to Training » Workouts » select your workout » Do Workout. That's all.

If you mean the Nike app, then I cannot help, since I am not familiar with it.

I don't use NRC but based on these discussions, looks like most ppl record twice and delete the duplicate manually to work around this kind of issue :/

Thanks to both of you for the help. Trux, I mean NRC app. FlowState, after my workout yesterday, and many tries, I came to the same conclusion. So for now, I duplicate manually my NRC workout in the Garmin Connect App to create an activity, and in the NRC App I disable the syncing with my watch. So I can run with the watch, which is more accurate than the phone for the pace, and I also run with the NRC App to save my workout and see my plan progression.
It’s a pitty that the 2 Apps can’t communicate better, but perhaps one day.
thanks again for your time and help.
see you.

The Nike Run Club and apple are partners I think, it works seamlessly with the Apple Watch so I doubt it will ever come to Garmin, Have you tried the Garmin Coach plans?.

Hi, yes but unfortunately there is no training plan for marathon, and I tried last year the plan for half marathon and was not seduced by the workouts (but that is only my personal feeling). Perhaps if Garmin coach comes to a marathon plan I will try it. See you.

You won't find a marathon plan in the app.
You have to go to the connect WEB page. There are various marathon plans there.
