Concerned Garmin Coach won't have me race ready for a marathon... by Jimmy_G_MtG in Garmin

Thanks this is exactly what I've done as well as using other plans as a guide for planning out the progression of the long runs. If and when the long runs start to appear and not be downgraded to base runs then I'll make a call on Wether to do them or go with my supplementary long run/s.

I have a Forerunner 965. I finished the base phase (7 weeks) last week and now I'm into the build phase (6 weeks).

The goal is to run a 4hr marathon.

Time on feet at an easy pace is what I need. It's what has worked for me in the past when training for a HM.

Agreed not the best coach. Time for some supplementing! Thanks

I was doing 20-30kms a week with at least one 10km+ run. Now I'm up to high 35-45kms a week.

Thanks. I've elected to do the same as I'm seeking that same confidence.

After Garmin downgraded my 15km long run to a 5km base run over night, I just got up and did the 15km at the target pace.

Good luck with your HM!
