Garmin Coach and Breno Melo coaching: choose the support you need
Garmin Coach and personal coaching solve different parts of training. Garmin offers several running plan options and device-dependent training features through its ecosystem. I write and review 1:1 training around your goal, completed sessions and real calendar. Choose by the decisions you need help with. Software features do not, on their own, establish a personal coaching relationship.
Does your device and selected plan support the event and guidance you need?
You use a compatible Garmin device and want a plan within Garmin Connect.
I use a different starting point for personal coaching: the athlete, the goal and the calendar. The support tier determines the frequency and depth of feedback.
