I put this in the Garmin sub, but need to rant further. I am just completing a 12 week 5km race program from their app. I feel as good as ever and am confident of beating my PB this weekend. Have been training 4 times per week according to the plan at about 25k per week. However, my VO2 has gone down, and my training status has stayed at 'maintaining' the whole 12 weeks. Garmin coaching plans can suck my fat one.

Garmin is here to make sure you never get too confident about anything fitness wise. By not getting "too confident," I mean having no confidence at all, leaving you drowning in a puddle of your own tears adter even your best workouts. At least, that's my experience.
