How to Setup Garmin Coach

[@dragb6281]

I can do all this but don’t know what to do after this set up! No answer

[@markg99]

I recently finished a 5k plan with coach Jeff, and it went really well. Knocked 4 minutes off my PB 👍🏻🏃‍♂️

[@suhasinimadhuryachennubhot9342]

how is your experience with Jeff? i'm thinking between jeff and greg!

[@markg99]

@@suhasinimadhuryachennubhot9342 I got some good results with Jeff, though I did start to find some of the workouts a bit boring in later weeks, doing the same drills over and over. The drills did help me to think about cadence and how to transition between walking and running though, so they were useful. I would personally try Greg next time just so I can compare. I haven't used him yet. I'm sure either coach will be fine and it's probably best to try each in turn to see which fits your needs, and to take the variety of lessons offered by each. Good luck, and enjoy the plan. I do have a playlist of my Garmin 5k experiences on my channel if you think it would be of interest 👍🏻🏃‍♂️

Thanks for the video. Anyone know if you can change the data screens within Garmin Coach workouts on the watch? I've started a 5k plan (on an FR245). It works but doesn't show heart rate on my data screen within the coaching session. If I try to change the screen it seems to end the workout. Thanks.

[@twake344]

Thanks for the info Shane. I've just picked up a Descent mk2 as my first Garmin watch so still trying to figure it all out. What I would like to know is when running a Garmin coach session, how do I change what I see on my watch for instructions for the next step/lap especially important for pace sessions. At the moment it will say things like "run very hard for 20sec". When I look at the session on my phone it will actually have km/min pace min/max targets for that 20sec. How do I get the watch to display that I for so I actually know what zone to be running in rather then waiting for it to give me too slow or too high alerts? Thanks

[@jvlivehig5971]

I've set it all up but how to start? It doesnt show how to start in phone or watch. It's not an option in the: startbutton>run. Or is it not compatible with FR55?

[@MKultrapdx]

Will this work with the original instinct?

[@barryjmarling]

Great video Shane,might have a go at the 5K,as really want to crack the 30 minute 5K. I’m averaging 31/32 minutes best I’ve achieved is 30:12 at pacer day at parkrun.

[@shanebow]

That'll be a great milestone getting a sub 30!! Barry, go Smash it this year mate

[@wwaawweee]

I don't know why but I can set only plans on bicycle any opinion how to change it for running ???

[@srinivassaladi7145]

Hi, thank you. I have started my Garmin coach today and ran as suggested 2+5+2 ..now how do I map that run to the plan. I have used my Garmin instict watch to track it

[@shanebow]

Just follow the instructions on the watch when you go out and you should be fine. Good luck and smash it

[@srinivassaladi7145]

sure, thanks. first time, it was not counted since the instructions didnt show up on the watch..i didnt realise that i had to sync up before the run. so had to redo the workout

[@AlbertPalmer]

Nice! I always thought these were just for beginners but I'll take a look now

[@shanebow]

Cheers again Albert. Go shave some minutes off mate

[@dominikseljan3043]

10K plan is really helpful!

[@SaveTheHedgehog]

Does the watch give spoken instructions about pace , hr zones etc. if connected to my Bluetooth headset?

[@bethanygates864]

No, the watch vibrates to tell you to start or stop.

[@annecoleman5502]

When I go onto training plans (I want to start running again), all that comes up are things for cycling. There are no running training plans. Does anyone know how I can access the running plans? TY

[@thehalfwaypoint]

Hi! I have a question that I can't find the answer for anywhere: Can you set a target distance/time before your run on a Forerunner 45? Say if you wanted to go for a 40 minute run and want it to alert you when you hit that time, or a 10km run and it lets you know when you've reached that distance? I know other watches have that feature but haven't heard it talked about for the 45. Thanks in advance if you can answer!

[@shanebow]

Hey, thanks for the question. I dont have the watch at the moment and can't remember from memory sorry. Hopefully someone else will read this and help out...

[@Yugtabub]

Great video (again). I have just come across your channel and am going to watch them all! Keep up the good work

[@shanebow]

Cheers for that Nick! You're clearly a legend mate! 😎👍

[@Yugtabub]

Shanebow - Running & Tech I try 😎. I also dropped your video in the Running subreddit so hopefully that will get you some traffic

[@shanebow]

Cheers mate!!!!!

[@elfahronngudmundsdottir8685]

Thanks for the video. How do you add a voice coach?

[@kartikiyer747]

Nicely explained. I had started a plan for running a 5k with a time target but suspended it after 3 weeks due to COVID-19 restrictions on outdoor running. There was one question it asked about how fast do you normally run. Found that a little unclear. Are they asking for the current race pace?

[@shanebow]

It isn't clear you're right. I assume it's just your average comfortable pace. Cheers for those comments

[@kartikiyer747]

I guess it sets the pace for intervals and other workouts based on the benchmark run and time trials. Anyway let me see how it goes once I resume the plan. Cheers! Keep up the great work!

[@shanebow]

Thanks Kartik!!! Smash those runs

[@sysispgm2791]

I started training by Jeff. What doest it mean 30’secs fast and 30 secs slow if on my watch is 30 secs run then 30’secs run .. no time to get slowly its run walk run called

[@francescoanacreonte4207]

Hi can you help want to run a sub 1hr 40 for a half marathon how many miles a week would you recommend AVG time this far is 1hr 50 for me but want more faster constant speed.

[@The_Beginners_Running_Channel]

Thanks for the video! I did nog explore the Garmin coach yet. Keep on running! Cheers Pepijn

[@shanebow]

Cheers Pepijn, it's solid for experienced runners too but Garmin kind of fail to highlight that

[@morpheussleepchannel7369]

Thanks! Garmin Coach sounds great but I'm not finding it on the app. Any ideas why?

[@shanebow]

It's under training then training plans 😎

[@morpheussleepchannel7369]

@@shanebow Thank you so much for your reply! Perhaps they've changed the name to PacePro? My screen has some differences than yours does. I'll look further into it later today.

[@shanebow]

You're welcome. Pace pro is another feature again on top of the training. Let me know if you're still stuck and I'll try and help

[@morpheussleepchannel7369]

@@shanebow Thanks again for replying! I should receive my 1st Garmin watch in the mail today. Forerunner 245 music. Maybe it will show up when I connect watch to the app.

[@HoytMcBeth]

Shanebow- I enjoy your videos and vibe! Hey - I have a FR 235 that I got in eBay of unknown vintage. When I go on Garmin Connect and look under Training Plans, all I see are cycling plans. Does this have to do with the age of my watch? I don’t see any running plans. Thanks!

[@shanebow]

No you should definitely have running plans on there. The 235 is a capable watch. I've got a couple of vids on how to setup training plans that might be worth double checking. Otherwise try uninstalling and reinstalling Garmin connect. Hope it works out

[@HoytMcBeth]

@@shanebow thanks much for replying. I went online and added the Half Marathon training plan, deleted and reinstalled the GC app, and I have a half victory: it shows up on my Calendar in GC, but oddly the training plans shown are still all cycling. Taking a KZbin fast for a couple of days but will check out your training plan videos when I return. Thanks!

[@shanebow]

Well at least you've got the plan 👍😎🏃🏃🏃

[@firebreathingmoonbeam3961]

So no matter where I look online nobody seems to have the answer. I've looked on Darren's help page and I looked at videos everybody just shows how to set up the plan and how to sync it but nobody actually shows you how to start it. It's really frustrating.

[@bethanygates864]

Once you set it up on your phone, you scroll down on your watch and today's workout will be there.

[@chavoworld]

Hi! Thanks for this great video. Wondering if you can shed some light on the following: “other: lap press”. What does this mean? It’s on my Garmin Coach workout as a step after warm up but before a cadence drill. I have no clue what I am expected to do running-wise or if necessary, the button I need to press on the watch. Any guidance you can offer would be fantastic. Thank you!

[@OutdoorsIQ]

It’s basically saying “press the lap button to continue to the next step”. Press the lap button the start the next leg. This is usually bottom right.

[@andretv8798]

Nice video.. respect from malaysia

[@shanebow]

Thanks!! And back from UK to Malaysia!!! Smash those runs!!! 👍😎

[@ragnarmorkai]

Shame they don’t have plans for a full Marathon.....

[@shanebow]

There is another way of getting one, it's just not adaptive kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJiciXmMq7ahg5I

[@ragnarmorkai]

@@shanebow Thanks. Was hoping they would have added an adaptive version by now.

[@shanebow]

Me too

[@voodoochile80]

Agree, i would also love/expected to see that
