Garmin Coach widget - How does it work?

Former Member over 6 years ago

I have recently started using the Traning Plans from Garmin Connect. I have understood that once you start a straining plan (10K in my case) it will show in the Garmin Coach Widget, but it does not. I have transfered the workouts to my Calendar, but I cannot understand what this widget is for.

Can some please kindly enlighten me? What is this widget used for?

The training plans and the Garmin coach widget are two different things. Garmin coach is currently only available in a 5k plan and is supposed to adapt to your runs and give you adaptable workouts based on how well you performed the previous workout.

The training plans just put workouts on your calendar. You then need to send the workouts to your device by clicking the three dots at the top right corner of the calendar. The workouts will then show up on the calendar widget on your watch and also when you start the run app on the scheduled day.
