Adaptive Training Plans

Your Garmin Connect account has an adaptive training plan and Garmin® coach to fit your training goals. For example, you can answer a few questions and find a plan to help you complete a 5 km race. The plan adjusts to your current level of fitness, coaching and schedule preferences, and race date. When you start a plan, the Garmin Coach widget is added to the widget loop on your Forerunner device.
