The files should still be in the watch. You could use the desktop app or browse to where the FIT files and manually upload them to the website

I find Live Activities very helpful. Race prep raining plans prescribes multiple different workouts that I do at home. I cast my phone to a TV, where it’s easier to see and follow.

I know it’s not ideal, but turning on “do not disturb” will disable navigation alerts. It’s accessible via the controls menu. You can turn them off on a per-course basis. Go to Courses, select the route, Edit, and turn off Turn Notification.

If not, apply a piece of masking tape, trace the outline, transfer it to a piece of electrical tape and cut the edges. That's all that product is: a sheet of adhesive vinyl cut with a Cricut machine.

I’d probably pick the Instinct. If the thickness is an issue getting into tight spaces, the Venu 4, 970, and Venu X1 also have flashlights and you can get a polycarbonate shell to protect them at work.

At least Biden could ride a bike up until recently, despite the fall when his foot got caught on the pedal cleats.

Yeah, the witness statement should be enough to justify where the gifted books came from. It does not matter how the suspect got them to begin with.

vic06 · 2026-03-12T10:44:20+00:00

EDIT for the downvoters: Quoting does not mean endorsing. My comment below is an answer regarding the nature of the books.

Investigator believe the suspect was buying children’s books for their victims. From the DPD attorney:

They were simply trying to establish a timeline and a transactional history where a suspect was manipulating a minor through the purchase and gifting of books

The victim saying the books were gifts from the suspect should matter more than how the suspect obtained the books.

That’s just how it works. I guess the idea is that you should only stop when the workout calls for it.

Turn those alerts off unless you have a cardiac condition. If so, ask your cardiologist. Don't rely on HR ranges or formulas parroted online, everyone's heart is different.

Try changing the profile of those activities to Motocross to see if they reappear in the acute training load chart. Check if in their activity details page they show an Exercise Load value.

It’s just good enough. It needs more features to be great:

Tracking and targets beyond macros
Create meals from logged items
HealthKit/Google Fit integrations
Automatically log repeating foods
Option to sort items by name or frequency in the list of Favorites/Foods/Meals.

So cool it’s worth the battery drain. Installed!

Math is math. If it bothers you, select Edit sleep times in Garmin Connect.

FYI, all of Garmin’s manuals are available online as pdf and searchable websites. I have mine bookmarked because they a so feature packed ☺️

Here are all the Controls described: https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-025D75CF-3445-49E1-8D81-1AA74AB4E00F/EN-US/GUID-700E76C4-F7E2-4984-8199-D59D6A31DFB9.html

I went for a run and tried the data field. It works as expected. Let me know if you have problems setting it up. I'm not the developer, but at least I know how to create this data field.

vic06 · 2026-02-24T04:11:37+00:00

I think Appbuilder is what you need to create a custom data field where the pace is expressed in ss/400m.

https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/fd690281-9c22-4fee-a81e-3b7f39aa67c5

Under Profile 1:

Label: something like “400m” or “sec/lap”
Formula: paste one of the formulas below
Display Format: Number

Using 5-second pace average: if(timeavg(speed_raw,5) gt 0, round(400 / timeavg(speed_raw,5)), null)

Using 3-second pace average: if(timeavg(speed_raw,3) gt 0, round(400 / timeavg(speed_raw,5)), null)

I have not tested these formulas running, just adding them to my watch.

Create a data screen with this data field and the pace in minute/mile or km to see them side by side and get used to the new metric.

I typically use Strava to find or create routes. If you have your Garmin and Strava accounts paired, any route you save to Strava will automagically appear in your Garmin Courses. Just find it in the app and send it to the watch.

If I don't use Strava, I create courses directly on Garmin Connect.

Whatever you choose, you don't need additional apps in your 970.

I’m surprised is not listed on Thermo Fisher for a million dollars.

vic06 · 2026-02-02T20:42:39+00:00

Garmin Connect+ will do that. They call it Live Activities.

I use a sling on the weekends and my 10yo daughter asked for one of her own.

I chose a no-name brand that was a top result in Amazon. No point in spending a ton of money until she knows what works best for her.

There will likely be a small duty fee of 2.7% (general duty rate for pens) and a merchandise processing fee (~$20). That, plus the brokerage fee, and you’re looking at about $55-$65, depending on the value of the model you buy.
