Garmin Coach Updates
For the Runners
Garmin’s Run Coach isn't just about logging miles—it’s about your miles. Each day, it adapts based on how you’re feeling. Smashing your workout? It’ll push you harder. Not quite feeling it? It scales back to give you the recovery you need. You can pick the distance and event date, and Garmin will personalize everything else. Whether you’re training for a local fun run or an intense trail race, your plan will adapt to real-time performance, recovery, and even health metrics.
For the Cyclists
Cycling fanatics, you’re in luck! Garmin Cycling Coach now offers personalized plans based on your performance, recovery, and course requirements (like that brutal hill climb you’ve been dreading). Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned rider, Garmin’s adaptive plans will keep you on course—literally. And for those of you plotting out routes with gnarly elevation gains, the plans will help you tackle them head-on.
