rescheduling a workout with garmin coach or doing another one

Hello,

I've spent some time reading about this issue online, and I understand that garmin does NOT allow to reschedule a workout if you use the "adaptive program" and not one with the coach's names.

This is very frustrating obviously as sometimes I cannot do the scheduled workout... as everyone else I guess.

so 'im looking for a workaround. I see that you cannot either do a workout "in advance". As far as i know, you cannot start a workout that is not scheduled today.

So... I tried to program a workout by myslef. I did that with a very simple one ("base training"). I used the exact same parameters that Garmin would use. But... Even if garmin recorded my workout (it appears in the workout history. See pictures attached. it's in french but pretty self explanatory I think). as you can see there is no "green check mark next to this workout.

And It did NOT recorded it as part of my training. It considered that I had a day off. Wich is clearly a problem for a self adaptating program. This workout was a small one. But I wanted to do the same with an interval training or a long run. If the program think I did nothing after that it (the coaching program) will definitively be useless.

Any way around this? seems a pretty big problem to me. I see the planning for the coming week, and I want to move the two hardest workout of the week. I don"t know what i can do

below, the workout appears. no green check mark

below. there is nothing appearing on friday the 17th. So the program did not adapt the workout for the 18th and 19th

  • It does not really matter whether you skip a workout entirely, do another one, select one from the daily suggestions (even future ones), or just run without any workout at all. The watch has all your metrics, and the training status, and adjusts the future workouts accordingly to the state of your fitness.

  • Hello Trux,

    I'm not so sure about that as the program said that I took a day off. It seemed to me that it did not take into account this workout for the planning of the rest of the week. But okay, I should try it again to be 100% sure.

    On the other hand, I do not find a way to "select a futur ones" as you said. AS you cannot reschedule a workout in this program (neither on the mobile app nor on the web) and you cannot export futur workout to your watch

  • You should be able to see future workouts in calendar on your watch.
    As such, you should be able to select one of them and do your planned workout current day.

  • I am using that route to start workouts today and future.

    On the main screen with Glances I have Coach glance

    This should show you what you have planed for today and 6 - 7 days ahead.

    Scroll down to workout you want to do and select it

    Then Run button should allow you to Do Workout

    And now there is last thing you have to do: Run, Cycle, do your strength exercises and Enjoy
