How to prepare for a marathon with use of FR955

Daily suggestions are not enough for preparing a marathon.
Not enough miles, not enough speedwork.

If you login to Garmin Connect on the web and take a look under Training there you will find full marathon training plans.

I used one myself for my first marathon. Good luck with your training.

I'm doing exactly the same to a marathon in April, maybe this post in own garmin forum will helpforums.garmin.com/.../experience-with-daily-suggestions-for-marathon-training

I really like TrainAsOne

I've done the 'standard' marathon trainings a few times already, I really like those as well.. You can choose how 'intense' (nr of runs a week) and if you want to base it more on pace or heartrate (latter for me, makes me listen to my body more instead of trying to force a pace)

I found them. Thx. It is not adaptive right? And I do want to train for pace, and not heartbeat. But in the scheme I do not find pace goals. How do I know if I have to use the beginner, the average or the advanced plan? Will pace goals show on the watch once I start to run?

And how to choose which days of the week I am able to go running?

When you set up the plan you can choose what date to start or end the plan. If you set end date same as the race the plan will start 16 weeks before the race. I did the plan with 5 days (average) plan for my marathon.

You have to judge it yourself.

No.

You don't. Once you select your race date the workout days are preset.

I used the daily suggestions from late August till November to train for a marathon. You have to add the event in the calendar in Garmin Connect than it schedules the daily suggestions to your goal (you can add a time goal).

Worked out for me to get from 3:40 last year to 3:10 this year.

At the end I had a few weeks with 80+ km and 40min threshold runs. It starts really slow the first weeks don't give up, it will get faster and loger soon enough^^

Did that for my first marathon as well. 

Today's advice would be to get a trainer (remote/ whatever), it will be sooooo better. These plans are not adopted to you and (which is more important) do not have proper muscle base training, which is the weak point for most runners
