Well done Som and TR - great photo! I'm feeling very chipper after my training run. A smidge over 8 miles, but more importantly I did not take a single 'little walk break'. I love these Garmin training plans. (Whether they'll get me to Torre Half remains to be seen, but today was a good day!)


LazyDaisy what plan are you using? I fancy something a bit more structured again for when I stop working

[Wring thread.
Eddais 5 month old half wild kitten. We took her from the shelter 10 days ago and she was terrified of humans. She will now, sometimes, cuddle us but is very timid and a master at hiding.]

LG I found it on Garmin Connect, but if I look on the app for some reason I only see cycling plans, so I went to the desktop Connect site and under Training Plans / Find a Plan. I chose the Beginners Half 16 week plan, but because it's only 12 weeks to the Half I put in the date of the race and it moved me to week 5. That was fine because I've been doing more or less the first few weeks anyway. When you choose a plan it populates the calendar on the app, and it's on your watch too.

Thank you. I will need to dig out my lap top and open Garmin Connect and see if I can find something. I’m not training for anything but need structure.

Well done Jen HB

My finish photos are hideous but this one is OK:
