Hi SteveE57 , I know nothing about the Garmin HM plan, but if you'd like to pop over to the Marathon forum - healthunlocked.com/marathon... - you'll find others who do!
Btw the Marathon forum is soon-to-be-renamed, because it's not just for marathoners. Here's the blurb: This community connects and supports road, track and trail runners exploring beyond 10K (10 miles, half, full and ultra marathon, triathlon) and those taking part in racing events at all distances. We share stories, knowledge and experiences about training, nutrition, coping with injury, and more. Join us for helpful tips, weekly chats, race support (our famous pompoms), virtual events and fun challenges - everyone is welcome, whatever your level or ability!
Of course you can also continue to post on Bridge, it's simply that as the name suggests, it's aimed more at runners looking to crack a 10k and more recent NHS Couch to 5K Graduates, as well as and other more experienced runners.
