Forerunner 255 - Software ver 21.22 bug - no option to introduce/enable strength workout in Run Coach feature

Have updated my watch to version 21.22 and in my Garmin Coach, when using my current plan or trying to setup a new plan I can't enable/start with strength workouts which are meant to be included in this update. 

Feature details: 

  • Improvements to Garmin Run Coach and Garmin Cycling Coach plans to include supplemental strength workouts.

I have seen other users on Reddit that had the same issue as me but one day it just became available, this was soon after they had updated. I've been running the update for nearly two weeks now and still having this issue.

I have rebooted the watch, reset the watch, ended my current plan and tried to begin a new one after all of the previous steps and still nothing.

Is anyone else having this issue on the 255? For anyone that fixed it, what did you do to get this working?

Thanks in advance!

  • Hi,

    I'm experiencing the same issue, but on my Garmin Fenix 7X running version 20.14. I want to continue using the Garmin Run Coach training plans, but I need them to include strength training days as well, since adding these workouts is crucial for my overall training and I don't want to rely solely on running workouts.

    I've tried several solutions, including restarting the watch, resetting it, ending my current plan, and setting up a new one, but I still don't see the strength workouts as an option within the plan.

    If anyone has official information from Garmin regarding this issue or an estimated date for when this feature will be available, I would really appreciate any updates.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Hi,

    I'm experiencing the same issue. After updating my watch to version 21.22, I can't get any strength workouts from my Garmin Coach while using the Garmin Coach running plan.

    It any solution available I'll be glad to know about it.

    Thanks!

  • Hi!

    On version 22.22 it remains as before. Still not seeing any option to include supplemental strength workouts in the ongoing Garmin Coach program...

    It would be nice to have some explanation on how is this expected to work.
