I’ve been using the daily suggested workouts on my forerunner 955 for several months, with my primary race on the calendar as the New York City marathon on November 3. I had finished the base phase and was in the build phase. Then this morning, I allowed the watch to do a software update to bundle 20.26. The suggested workouts have restarted with a new base phase of one week, two weeks of build, three weeks of peak, and only one week of taper (IIRC there were 3 weeks of taper before the update). I’m very concerned about relying on such a compressed schedule and short taper after losing my original schedule due to a software update. I would warn anyone else relying on the daily suggested workouts not to do any software updates until after your primary race. Garmin, please fix this if you can.
UPDATE: I phoned Garmin technical support. The representative said they could not do anything about it on their end, but recommended I keep an eye on it and see if it corrects itself. Still hoping, 3 days later.
