How can I use a Garmin Coach Plan with only manually uploaded data?

I have a Garmin Fenix 7 and want to use a training plan, but I want to decide myself what data to upload to put into account for my training plan.

How can I do that?

Problem now: When I want to create a training plan, I have to agree to upload data automatically when my watch is connected. If I disagree the process is aborted.

How can I solve that?

The reason I am asking this is because I dont want to share all-day-heartrate and sleep data etc. with Garmin and put it in a cloud.

I only want to upload my training results to make sure the plan adjusts properly.

I hope this is possible.

I did not test it with the upload denied, but I guess you could use one of the self-guided plans, or even the Daily Suggested Workouts with a planned target. Should it not work for you, then you can use any external 3rd party plan, for example from Training Peaks, or even just asking ChatGPT to create a plan specific for you.
