Scheduled Coaching Plans

Howdy,

I’m using Fenix 7ss.  I’ve done 3-4 HM/year using Garmin Coaches.  They are great, but the date issue is a major bummer.  I want to use Coach Jeff, but my next scheduled race is too soon (12 weeks from now). I cannot schedule a training plan with any of the coaches.  I’ve been running regularly and thus if there are two races that are a month apart, then I can’t use any of the coaches.  As I have a race every 3 months or so, i cannot use any of the coaches sequentially.  This is very frustrating.  That and not being able to schedule a coach plan in the future.

So my questions

1) How do I schedule a coaching plan to start in a month.  In Garmin Connect there is a tab “Scheduled”, which gives me the impression that I can schedule a training plan to start in the future.  How does one do that?  Otherwise I have to put a calendar reminder for me given how finicky the coaches are with their dates.

2) what is the best way to use the coaches if I have races every 3 months or so.  They are all HMs.

Cheers,
