About

Marathon Assistant is a data field for Garmin running activities. It helps runners monitor key running metrics and follow their hydration, energy gel, and electrolyte plans during training and races. ## Basic and Advanced **Basic:** Includes most core features. You can choose from built-in 10K, half marathon, marathon, and timed fueling plans, view key running metrics, and see your next fueling point. **Advanced:** Adds custom distance-based, timed, and pre-race fueling plans, along with advance alerts, pop-ups, vibration, and alerts across activity data pages. ## Key Features • Use built-in fueling plans or schedule fueling by distance, elapsed time, and the pre-race countdown. • Advanced supports advance alerts, vibration, pop-ups, and alerts across activity data pages, helping you stay focused on your run without frequently checking the screen. • View heart rate, distance, elapsed time, current pace, target pace, lap pace, battery level, and other key running metrics. • Customize the data layout and choose from several polished themes. The clear light theme is used by default. • Turn off fueling alerts during everyday training while continuing to use Marathon Assistant as a running data field. ## How to Use 1. After installation, add Marathon Assistant to a data screen in a Garmin running activity. 2. Select a fueling plan in Connect IQ settings. 3. Advanced users can configure custom fueling plans and additional alert options. 4.
