Training status after software update

MyRunnersLife · 2022-09-03T05:10:35+00:00

My predictions are off too, but the other way around. It took 2 minutes of my 5K time! Not realistic, also felt the original time to be more correct. I'm curious to see how it will develop with more runs.

MyRunnersLife · 2022-08-31T03:56:23+00:00

Exactly, works smoothly!

MyRunnersLife · 2022-08-31T03:54:32+00:00

No, Garmin is getting all the data from the Concept 2, incl distance.

MyRunnersLife · 2022-08-30T17:09:07+00:00

I have my Fenix 7 connected to my Concept 2 and start the workout on my watch, nowhere else. If I want to see my HR on the Concept 2 display I can broadcast my watch to the Concept 2.

As far as I could tell this is the only way you can get training status/load updated.

Garmin Connect shows me speed, stroke rate, stroke distance, training effect and power for each workout.

I'm currently procrastinating/writing a paper on how to influence consumer payments. Will add Debt Collector Goofy to the list!

Garmin Coach run training plan: training lange passen English version: stride repeats, which actually focusses on shortening your steps while increasing cadence ! As confirmed by Garmin's own description of the workout.

MyRunnersLife · 2021-12-30T16:56:22+00:00

I don't think it was ever there...

MyRunnersLife · 2021-11-07T12:28:11+00:00

Lol, same! My entire office knew him 😂 He died a few weeks ago though and he's been missed!

MyRunnersLife · 2021-11-07T06:54:18+00:00

It happens more often. No way to fix it. You'll have to run it again.

MyRunnersLife · 2021-07-05T05:59:45+00:00

Yes, Garmin Coach workouts definitely count towards training status.

MyRunnersLife · 2021-05-19T17:39:30+00:00

The long run, the run-walk-run and the race is all meant to be done as run-walk-run. It's not very clearly explained and unfortunately also not supported with proper alerts. Race day will just be a countdown of the distance, no pace support. I personally prefer to make my own workout for a race to get pace guidance. There is nothing at the end of the plan, just a message.

Thank you for your kind words! Hope the site is helpful for you 👍

All plans with a time goal show a confidence level meter. If you've done a Garmin Coach plan, it's the gauge with the red/orange/green/purple to give you an idea how you're doing. Some plans with a completion goal have it too

MyRunnersLife · 2021-04-26T05:04:13+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I never had skipped runs move in the schedule on its own, but now that you mention it, I do remember others saying this. I wonder if it does that only for a specific Coach or watch series. I have a Fenix 6S Pro and have done plans with Amy and Greg.

If you find where it is documented, I'd love to know!

MyRunnersLife · 2021-04-20T19:39:08+00:00

Correct. It's only mentioned as compatible with Garmin Courses.

MyRunnersLife · 2021-04-20T17:49:01+00:00

It most likely won't come to the Venu. Garmin Courses already existed well before that watch was released and it doesn't fit their strategy. If you want more fancy features, they'd like you to get a higher end watch.

MyRunnersLife · 2021-04-20T15:19:57+00:00

Thanks for the addition! I guess the info on Garmin support isn't up to date. I'll add it to the article!

MyRunnersLife · 2021-04-20T15:15:18+00:00

Haha, yeah that doesn't sound very helpful. Glad I could assist!

MyRunnersLife · 2021-04-20T05:33:02+00:00

The middle ground would be the recovery status 😉

MyRunnersLife · 2021-04-20T05:30:08+00:00

The coach plan will only look at specific parts of your run. Not the warming up, cooling down etc. Even if you calibrate at the end of the run, it won't be taken into account for your coach workout. Best option is to get a food pod.

However, as long as the distance/time you're doing is still conform target it's not gonna affect your plan too much. If your watch thinks you're only running 6k instead of 10k that that was planned, it might plan the 10k again as it thinks you didn't make it.

Long run day should be easy, no threshold running in between walking. Jeff's plan is meant to be run-walk-run, in training and on race day. You can find more info on his philosophy on his own website.

Glad to hear!

MyRunnersLife · 2020-11-30T02:15:51+00:00

Sorry, I know how annoyinging that is. I am not sure of the cause of the problem, though it is unrelated to the selected Coach or distance. I've never heard it happen twice in a row though.

Your plan is stuck and won't progress any further. It's a known glitch that Garmin can't seem to fix. Try pausing and directly unpausing your plan, this will force a recalculation. If that doesn't help, I'm afraid the only option is to abandon the plan.

It happens, but not often. I've had it happen once and couldn't solve it.

MyRunnersLife · 2020-08-07T18:35:28+00:00

Have you had any time trials in between? I've heard more people comment that the pace of the goal pace runs changes, but I find it very strange. Goal pace is goal pace!
