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,

Chris

    Which watch you use?
    I would suggest to set an race event in your calendar and start to use daily suggested workouts instead of Garmin Coach.

    With the latest FW on FR955, DSW is actually Garmin Coach.

    As Adam has suggested, create Event in the Calendar, enter your distance (could be anything not only 5k, 10k or HM) and goal. Set is as primary event.

    I guess you should shortly see recommendation in both Web and Mobile apps for next 7 days as well have that on the Watch in Garmin Coach glance.

    Please note few minor bugs like not having properly displayed weeks until event, or missing workout details in GCM but present in Calendar view.

    Good luck with your preparations.

    I use a Fenix 7SS.  Thanks for the advice.  I have started using the workouts, and so far so good.
