Switch from Garmin Run Coach to Garmin Cycling Coach, now Garmin Cycling Coach Daily Suggestions are all Runs!

Can anyone help me out here?

Garmin Run Coach Plan to Cyle Plan

I created a Garmin Coach Plan on the Connect Web app and transferred to my watch (Felix 8) for running an ultra in July - started the plan, but only a week or so later I managed to break my big toe!

This has obviously stopped me running for a while (6-8 weeks) but I have a 10k in March and a 20k in April lined up as training events so I didn’t want’ to just pause the plan.

I wanted to switch to a Cycling Plan and use my indoor spin bike instead.

Deleted Garmin Run Coach - Set up Garmin Cycle Coach Instead

Even after pausing the running plan on Garmin Connect Web app, I found I still couldn’t create a parallel cycling plan - (Most annoying and a very limiting feature of Garmin) - so I had to drop the running plan completely and delete it to set up a Garmin Coach Cycle plan. I created a 7 week plan (enough for the 10k to get me fit enough before running again).

Deleting the running plan on Garmin Connect Web - didn’t delete the calendar events for the next 7 daily suggestions. I also found out these can’t be deleted from the Web Connnect, the IOS app or from the phone!

But I thought they would just remain and maybe the new daily suggestions for the cycling coach would be generated after that. So I did a few bike work out for the next few days instead of the suggested run work outs.

But the daily work out suggestions continue to be runs!

Now Garmin Cyle Coach Daily Workout Suggestions are all Runs

On the Web connect and the IOS app the Garmin Coach Plan shows Garmin Cycling Coach. The work out schedule grpahiics show little cycle icons on the workout days but the workouts are still runs!

Old Run Plan Not deleted from Felix 8

‘Todays Training’ on the Felix 8 in both run and cycle activities shows my old running plan - it looks like it hasn’t been deleted from the watch (despite everything else syncing ok).

Is this a bug? Sync error? or user error?

How do i ensure the old Garmin Coach Workout Plan is deleted on the Felix 8?

How can I get the daily suggestions to use the new Garmin Cycle Plan?

Many thanks

Same issue. Garmin coach keeps changing my cycling plan into a running plan. I delete it, create a new cycling plan and it works for a week or two and it changes it again to a running plan. The calendar is also screwed up on the app and it won't move from one day to the next, but that is another bug altogether.

Do you have the running events in your calendar in Garmin Connect? If so, try deleting them from there to see if that makes a difference to the suggested workouts.

I tried deleting my upcoming running races and then the training calendar showed dots (not a running or cycling icon) and read “Stay Tuned” or something similar. I just quit the coaching plan and started a new one. I’m hoping with no running races in my calendar it will behave.
