Garmin Coach plan on connect app not displaying on the Garmin Coach glance

I am using the Garminc Forerunner 255 Music edition with the latest FW 20.26.

I signed up for a Half Marathon garmin coach plan and currently in the "transition" phase of the plan. In the Garmin Connect app (or website), I can see that there are scheduled workouts this week; however, they don't sync up with the garmin coach plan glance on my watch.

My watch says "Sync with Garmin Connect for next workout". I previously completed a Garmin Coach 5K and 10K plan and was able to sync my workouts to his glance. I am not sure what the issue is for this time around.

I have found a workaround to view and access the workouts on my watch though. I can view the workout (that is the same as on the app) on my watch by navigating to the Run activity -> Training -> Workouts -> "Name of HM Race Training".

Does anyone know how to sync the garmin coach plan workouts in the app/website with the garmin coach glance in my watch?

Edit: I meant to say I'm in the "transition" phase, not the "base" phase

  • I’m experiencing the same issue. I was able to sync a program from the previous Garmin coaches (Coach Amy, Coach Greg, Coach Jeff) without any problems, but I haven’t been able to sync the new Garmin Coach.

  • With the latest update and also resending my race event to my watch, that seemed to fix the sync. I am not able to see my Garmin coach plan on the watch glance again!

  • I have the same problem with version 21.14 (Beta Version). The trainings in the Connect App (Garmin-Run-Coach) are slightly different to the trainings in the Garmin Coach on the Forerunner. If I go unter Trainings->Trainings->"Name of HM Race Event" I see only the planed Trainings of the Garmin Coach of the Forerunner and not the Trainings showed in the Connect App. If I make the training of the Forerunner, the training in the Connect app showed not finished because this is a different trainings.

  • i have the same, and ask garmin through the chat. And they make a report to the software enigneers. Because it has to be sync

  • Not sure if this has been replied to but here goes.

    I have done many Garmin Coach programs for 5k, 10k and half marathons on a Vivoactive4 and Epix Gen 2. This was using Coach Amy, Coach Greg, Coach Jeff without any problems. When an activity was scheduled in the calendar, when i initiated a run it said Do Workout. Likewise if i rescheduled or cancelled or paused an activity. 

    When on a run, the segments of pace and instructions were displayed for you to maintain a pace or complete a distance. Really useful.

    I used Garmin Coach recently on Epix Gen 2 and was expecting a Do Workout when i went to Run option, but nothing is sync'd, it is ready to go. I pressed go and go nothing form the display in terms of activity duration, max/min pace etc.

    However, if you scroll through the menu and select Garmin Coach, then scroll down it gives daily suggestions. Select this and it then asks Do Work out. Activiating the activity this way gives you duration and max/min pace as you get with Coach Amy, Coach Greg, Coach Jeff etc.

    It seems they both do the same thing but are activated slightly differently.

    After completing 2 runs the calendar kept calling for a Base run.

    Now i have set off the run through the Garmin Coach widget no more Base runs, all are feeding into the program and should adapt future activities. 

  • I had the same issue. Ended up deleting the old (completed) training plan with coach Jeff and re-syncing the app with the device. It helped!
