Garmin HM plan

[Curlygurly2]

I'm one third of the way (6 weeks) through my Garmin heart rate training Half Marathon plan. I'd scheduled it to coincide with the normal date for Cambridge HM, of course that's been put back to October now, but I'm sticking to my plan!

They are putting on a virtual HM during March, I believe there will be a Volunteer Army team, that's me as I volunteered last year.

I'm really enjoying it, you get all the runs downloaded to your watch (if your watch is geared up for that), a plan, and everything plotted on your calendar too. I'm doing 5 runs per week, most of them are short with some intervals included, and one long run per week. Nice not to have to think about what you are going to do when you go out to run.

Anyone else tried these?

I have looked at Garmin plans, but for one reason or another haven't actually followed one. Good to hear they come recommended though.

Hi shug 🙂

I thought I could get these plans on my new Garmin but sadly not Maybe they publish them for customers 🤷‍♀️

It’s great to have a plan I think. Good luck with it. Have fun 😃👍🏃‍♀️

Yes, I should think if you went to training - training plans on GC you would see all of them...

Hiya yep used one for a 10k race last year! Really good to be honest, do like the way you get all the runs put into a calender, which helped me structure my week. Dont think it was 5 runs a week though. Sound like the advanced plans!

Good luck on your training CurlyGurly2 😎

I was able to choose how many runs I wanted, 3, 4 or5, I chose the intermediate plan as I've already done a HM. I think it said 6, 7, or 8 for the full marathon, but errrr no idea how that works unless you run more than once a day.

did you get a good result for your race?
