Garmin has just unveiled a series of exciting updates to its Garmin Coach feature, a popular tool integrated into various smartwatches and bike computers. While the original version was focused solely on running, Garmin is now broadening its horizons by introducing separate coaching plans for cyclists as well. Users of Garmin Connect will be happy to know these enhanced features are already rolling out.
Historically, Garmin Coach has been a go-to resource for runners seeking structured, adaptive training programs to help them prepare for races or achieve personal milestones. The newly introduced Garmin Cycling Coach brings similar benefits to the cycling community. The plans dynamically adjust based on your performance and recovery data, allowing you to track progress and predict future performance. This includes analyzing your latest workouts and planned routes, taking into account the distance and elevation.
The original running tool has been rebranded as Garmin Run Coach, retaining all its previous features and offering the same range of expert run coaches. Interestingly, the Garmin website also hints at a strength training plan, though it’s still unclear if this will emerge as a third variant of Garmin Coach in the near future.
Compatible devices for these updated Garmin Coach features are vast, encompassing various models of Garmin smartwatches and bike computers such as the Fenix 7 and the Forerunner 165.
