[Feature Suggestion] Make it easier to get to the daily suggested workout

I have started using the daily suggested workout feature on my Forerunner 965 to train for my upcoming races and really love it. Not the Garmin Coach workouts, but the dynamically generated workouts. My only complaint is that it's a pain to go see my suggested plan for the coming week or to get to it to start the workout. You have to navigate on the watch through 5 to 6 menus deep to see the workout. It would be really great to have the suggested workouts more easily available. Like as a widget on par with Training Status or Training Readiness.

    When you start an activity the DSW should appear by default for you to accept it or skip it. Should have to go through any menus.

    Good tip! I'll try that tomorrow. Thanks! 

    Still don't like the idea of being 100% surprised about what the workout is going to be though.  Sometimes it's 30 minutes, sometimes it's 75 minutes.  So I still have the pain of navigating through all the menus to see the workout when I look at it the night before.

    Yeah, I agree with you. I go like getting it in the morning report but it does make it difficult to plan your day especially with the changing daylight.

    You ask NOT for the coach but for the DYNAMIC DSW. It is also called DAILY and not weekly. So it is understandable that you can only see it in the morning because it is dynamic so it takes into account how is your HRV and sleep. How would it know in advance for a whole week

    I go from Calendar Widget , but yes it is a few clicks in. Go to more suggestions then can see the week.

    But as noted by others the suggestions are dynamic so change as well.

    Just checked my morning report and it wasn't included. I took a look at the settings for the morning report and didn't see an option to add it. Do you know how you are getting the DSW into the report?

    Also, just tried to start a run activity and it didn't all if I wanted to do the suggested workout.  I still had to go into the run > training menus.

    How do you get the DSW into your calendar? It is not available there for me. The Garmin Coach workouts would be there when I tried that training program, but the suggested workouts based on a planned race aren't added to the calendar as far as I've found.
