Garmin coach marathon plan. When will be ?

Jan502 over 5 years ago

Does anyone know if there are any plans to roll out a Garmin coach marathon plan?

Garmin coach currently only has plans for 5k, 10k and Half-Marathon.

And while they are at it, it would also be nice to have target times that are a bit faster than the currenty ones. Would love to try out the Garmin Coach feature one day, but for now, I am too fast.

Like for this, I am almost finished with the HM, and would love to be able to start a Marathon Coach plan. Come on Garmin!

I'm aiming for a HM in May, and (if i complete it) a full in November. So I'm willing to give them a few months to roll it out. But it better be in place by the summer! (Kidding. Or am I?)

What…

Great idea!

There is a Marathon training plan, you just need to access it via the Connect Website first, add it to your training plans, and then it will sync to your phone/watch.

This is a request for Garmin coach marathon plan. A Marathon training plan is something different. You can find them both under Training Plans. The coach plans on top, with training plans below.

This is the only one thing that Garmin have to improve : the Garmin coach Marathon plan. I am waiting for it to do Paris Marathon !

+1 this would be awesome, can't be too much effort implementing this if they already have the Half-Marathon.

and the garmin coach training plan for the half marathon is impressive! Finally ... I have not yet seen the result since I have been for 22 weeks now, and that I will see the results on Sunday March 1 ... But I realize the progress I have made and the motivation that this plan causes! Roll on March 1st! And Roll on the development of garmin coach for the marathon!

I'd honestly love to see a mix of plans, marathon included. Why not have coach-compatible triathlon plans? Strength training?

In all honesty, it confuses me as to why Garmin hasn't leaned into their coach feature more. I'm sure plenty of users would even be happy to pay a nominal fee for plans (people already do it via TrainingPeaks, after all!)

I've always found it odd myself they don't offer a full program. Full marathon programs vary widely, though; I've personally done regular distance based, then Lydiard, and now I'm giving Hansen a shot (which is SO much running!!). Paces are also crazy and all over the map. Maybe Garmin just hasn't found the right one yet they're happy with?

I'm also really looking forward to use that distance after finishing a half-marathon

I'm also really looking forward to use this distance after finishing a half-marathon panned on mid-April :)
