Garmin Run Coach (not the garmin coach plans) for a 24hr race

I'm interested in using garmin run coach for ultra distances, but there are no use cases for it online.

The fact it even lets me set it up for a (flat) 24hr race, makes me think it shoulddddd work. Obviously with manual adjustments, cause I'm not doing back to back speed days. Anyway, only seeing a week in advance creates unease, especially not knowing if it's gonna generate proper long runs. I get it's cause it updates based on numerous factors, but why can't the full plan auto-update? Really wish Garmin had better clarity regarding how it works or if it isn't intended for the longer distances.

  • I am currently 6 weeks into 18 week marathon training block, I'm a 2.28 marathoner and the plan has me in a better position at this stage than when I was on track for the 2.28. The long runs while important its the weekly load/volume that makes the difference. 
    I'd be interested to see how you get on with it, its certainly worth testing.
