Trinity said:I'm using the sub 3.30 marathon Garmin schedule and it's pretty good. You can go backwards and forwards in the schedule if life gets in the way now and then and you have to swop a run round.
The only thing I find a little annoying is that if say you're on a slow 22 mile run (as I am today) it'll take the 22 miles as 1 lap and not give you mile splits, but if you desperately want mile splits you can just use it manually like you would normally
the sub 3.30 schedule has a minimum run of 5 milesKatten said:They look pretty good, but I would not use them, my style of training is very different. Eg. a 3 mile run is scarcely a warm-up, I don't use those at all. 5 is pretty much my minimum.

For the 8m's plus, I just manually adjust the run on the watch, changing it to 1 mile and adding a repeat step. Only takes 30 seconds and gives a lot more info.Trinity said:I've tried all different things with it but gave up in the end... if I want mile splits I use it manually, but I'm not too worried about them on the longer runs anyway, it's just the 8's, 9's and 10's that I find the extra information useful
ok, maybe I'll play around with it then, before my long one on SundayAlan W said:For the 8m's plus, I just manually adjust the run on the watch, changing it to 1 mile and adding a repeat step. Only takes 30 seconds and gives a lot more info.
I uploaded the sub-4hr training schedule into Training Centre and had a wee look at it. I then created a separate new workout of my own and I think I may have worked out the tinkering Alan was referring to.Trinity said:The Garmin does that under the manual operation Twinks, it's just with the programmed schedules that it doesn't... without a bit of tinkering apparently, according to Alan
