Run under Garmin coach for half marathon interupted due to "lap" pressed by mistake. This ruins my entire coaching.

Iram Amity over 3 years ago

Hi,

I'm new to the watch, after already running on weekends 32 KM.

I'm trying to get the coach to learn my fitness.

Today while running my 2nd long run, I accidentally pressed the lap during the run.

This caused the watch to move to cool down.

The result was that the Garmin coach decided I am out of fit, and thus changed my work plan for shorter runs, while I'm trying to increase my runs.

How can I fix that mistake?

You should add to lap during training a second press, just as when stopping a run... otherwise it ruins the entire workplan.

Post the fit file from the activity here. Someone might be able to fix it. Connect your 945 to a computer and browse to the \GARMIN\ACTIVITY folder to find the fit file associated with this activity. Then...

Zip the file, then in a reply post Insert >> Image/video/file >> click Upload >> browse for file >> OK.
Or upload the fit file to a file sharing service, such as OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc., make the file public, then paste a link to the file in your post.

It's a while since I used Garmin Coach, but iirc, you can continue running through the cool down (and beyond), and Garmin Coach will record what you ACTUALLY did, rather than the workout steps.

If you are worried about this re-occurrig, you can use the Auto Lock functionality to prevent accidental key presses. www8.garmin.com/.../GUID-1500E73F-F386-49AF-A542-25D4B1655A08.html

Are you sure can run after the cool down? It says workout ended and stops recording anything as far as I know.
