Garmin Daily Suggested Workouts Glitch: Running suggestions switched to "Bike Day."

This is not a question.

FYI: If this happens to you and you are a regular user of Garmin Daily Suggested Workouts, it can be really annoying.

Web research seems to indicate you have to hard reset the watch to get back your running activity DSWs.

I found a workaround. If you go to Run>Hold "up">Training>Workouts>Daily Suggestions>Settings>Running Target Type

And toggle off Pace or Heart Rate, it will get rid of "Bike Day" spam in your DSWs, and go back to Running oriented workouts.

Ya welcome

Yah, just happened to me today. Discarded an interval run due to inaccurate heart rate and then every subsequent daily suggested workout for 'Run' was 'bike day'. Thanks to br0drun for saving me from a factory reset on my Forunner 965.

Since you said, you wanted to know, I have this problem with my new Forerunner 965 from the very beginning. Bike and Run reversed. I.E. I get daily suggestions for running, but on cycling it gives my "Run Day" for all days to come. Explanation on the watch is "While training for your event, workouts for this sport are available only on base and recovery days.". I have no events scheduled. I have tried the above mentioned workaround but it didn't help. I have tried it on "Running Target Type" and "Cycling Target Type". I have also tried a hard reset of the watch but that didn't help either. Any help would be really appreciated, for now I am only interested in cycling DSWs.

When Trying the above on my brand new 965:

when clicking the heart rate or pace it just goes back to the previous menu and there is no change and the pace and heart rate have no visible toggle switch

What is the issue you are addressing? I had the bike day "thing" a few times and after a soft reset (hold in top left button until a shutdown , then restart after say 20secs) it when to normal.

I ahad "bike day" under the calendar place but it was correct under activities place,

I have just noticed this problem. Even if I select a run, my suggested workout is simply 'Bike Day'.

I have the same issue with my Forerunner 265S – for bike, it gives "Run Day" for all days. I don't have any events scheduled. I have also tried a hard reset, but it didn't help.
