Garmin Coach cycling plan changed work ours from cycling to running!

I set up a Garmin Coach cycling plan for Fitness for use with my Edge 840 running 24.18.
All looked good and I performed my first ride today. After everything was synced I looked at what tomorrow’s workout would be only to discover in Garmin Connect the Garmin Coach Cycling Plan was showing all of the next workouts as RUNNING works out. The Edge 840 and my Epix Pro Gen 2 both should Garmin Coach as having NO plan.

Bizarre!

I’ve since deleted and setup a new Garmin Coach Cycling plan and also adjusted the Primary Training Device to be the Edge 840  - thinking it might have something to do with that being set to the watch previously. Bizarre though that data that clearly says “Cycling Plan” would have running workouts suddenly replace the cycling workouts.

Will see how this goes but clearly its a bug.

    Hi!
    I am experiencing exactly the same on my Edge 1050 and MARQ Gen2… really weird and it’s still not fixed. If somehow I delete my cycling training coach and set up a new one, it will only be fixed for about 12hrs and then default to running and disappear on the Connect app (and website).

    I have the same exact issue on my forerunner 255. I have setup a cycling plan (for fitness, hear rate based). It goes fine for a week tops and after it changes my workouts from cycling to running. Is there a way to report this bug? It's very annoying to setup the same plan every week....

    Same thing it brings me my weeks plan and then after syncing the first or second ride it defaults to running

    This original issue I reported is is no longer occurring after the Epix Gen 2, Connect App (iOS) and Edge 840 have all received recent updates, and the Primary Training Device is set to the Edge 840. I do need to let the Edge 840 sync up to get the most recent update to the Coaching Plan to be consistent with current training status. This usually results in a minor change to the plan compared to the last sync time or the watches current suggestion (just prior to the edge 840 sync). The Watch Daily Suggestions (rather than Coach) will sometimes show the Option to have the suggestion be either Cycling or Running - and from what little I know about the difference it seems to scale them towards similar training effect.

    On the whole this setup seems to be working fine now.
