I want to do a training plan for a marathon using the Forerunner 55.

Only have option of 5k, 10k or half in coach plans. Saw there should be an option for training plans not coach plans on connect but there isn't that option for me.

What am i doing wrong? Is it the watch and its capabilites?

    I have a FR955, and I do see the option for a full marathon Garmin Coach plan, when I select Train for an Event. Not sure why you don't (it could be because of your device, but I'm not sure.)

    If you want a non-Garmin Coach plan, I think you need to use the Connect website (https://connect.garmin.com) and not the app.

    Click on Training & Planning > Garmin Coach Plans > Browse All Plans > Running

    This will show a big list including both:

    - Garmin Coach plans (but for some reason, not the Garmin Coach Marathon plan, even though I can still access it in both the website and app by selecting Train for an Event)

    - various self-guided plans (which are normally hidden), including marathon plans

    This is going to be a limitation of the watch. The Forerunner 55 supports Garmin Running Coach Experts, which goes up to a half marathon, but it does not support Garmin Run Coach. Garmin Run Coach is required to do the full marathon training.
