Coach Plans Not Syncing to Fenix 7

I have just started a new Garmin Coach Plan (Running) and it is not Syncing to my watch (my wife is also having the same issue for her Fenix 6!)

We've tried:

Rebooting the the watches.
Pausing the plans, Syncing the watches, restarting the plan.
Deleting the plan and starting a new one.
Making sure both watches are on the latest firmware.

Both watches have both previously worked using the older plans last Autumn.

Daily suggested workouts still show on the watches.

Really strange that it isn't working on both our Fenix 6 Pro and Fenix 7!

Super disappointing as we both have a 10k race coming up soon.

I've read a about a few similar issues, is there a fix @Garmin ?

Anyway, my coach plan is there but buried. Select run, options, training, workout library, daily suggestions. I found my planned workout…

Same issue. Old plans were just available when a run starts. What is going on? Not a clever system, ran yesterday and is recorded by the watch but a rest day in the plan. Garmin 5, 6 , 7 user, it's annoying now and the number of unanswered threads is dissapointing.

Completely agree - I too have used Garmin watches and bike computers for as long as I can remember. All of the old coaching plans worked fine and each session would seamlessly get pushed through to my watch. The last one I used was late summer '24 and it was one of the old ones (with "Coach Greg") but these new dynamic ones simply don't work and it's clearly not just my watch or my connect app. Really disappointed. I'm now using a third party running coaching app which can seamlessly send each run to my watch. Yet Garmins or plans can not.

Correct. The last plan I used successfully was coach Greg a few months back. Don't get me started on these new plans. Select 4 to 7 days, then have to select 5 days minimum. When my Fenix 7 ages out that might be it. Time to try something new.

So I found another thread that suggested looking in Training-Workout Library-Daily suggestions after entering the run menu. And there's todays planned run. I'll try it later but such a mess.

Let me know how you get on! - None of the other suggested 'work arounds' worked for me. But I kinda want it to just work!

Just need Garmin to push them to the front if possible..

Hope it helps.

No worries, for some reason it only appeared alongside this last post. Thanks..
