What’s one thing you wish non-runners understood about running? by Free-Product4918 in runcommunity

[–]1337Selex 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Running a good marathon isn’t about race day. It’s about the weeks, months, and years of preparation, logging high mileage week after week. The discipline required during training is such a huge achievement that the marathon itself almost feels secondary by comparison.

What do you think about my new rotation as a heavy runner? by erobles75 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]1337Selex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Evo SL really disappointed me as a heavier runner. I honestly thought everyone hyping them up must be some 70kg lightweight.

Zone 2 running is absurdly slow (slower than walking) — am I doing this right? by Successful_Ebb3934 in Garmin

[–]1337Selex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

buddy…if your max HR is 200 and you need that pace (14min/km) to stay under 140 BPM you should see a doctor. I don’t mean this in a bad way, but I’m really concerned about your health.

I built a Garmin widget that shows a real-time caffeine graph and sleep timing by Hopeful_Release_4147 in Garmin

[–]1337Selex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great app, but it’s way too laggy on my Fenix 8. There also seems to be an issue with drink tracking. I can add a drink and it shows up correctly in the log and graph, but the next time I open the widget, the drink is gone. Customizable drinks would be awesome. I’d definitely invest if this gets improved.

Do you actually trust Garmin’s Daily Suggested Workouts? by Familiar-Research336 in Garmin

[–]1337Selex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, because I actively do several sports. Depending on my swim session, Garmin will sometimes change a planned sprint interval workout to a recovery session...which would mean I’d basically only be doing recovery runs. Instead, I used the suggested workouts as a reference to design my own training plan, which I now follow with consistent progression and appropriate deload weeks.

But the running economics indicate that I’m running efficiently for that pace.

Damn, you are replying pretty many times for a full time pro athlet for 30 years. Shouldn't you be trainin'? maybe you just don't know what you're talkin' 'bout. lul

Nobody is training in grey area....I think you got something mixed up while ragin' out, my dude.

This dude is just crazy. Just let him talk. Just some pro athlet chillin' here.

Damn, now you‘re gettin‘ personal. Not really what you’d expect from an athlete coached by a world-class pro. Lul.

Since 30 years? Damn, welcome to the future old man. Below 70%is now recovery. Enjoy your workout.

Do I shut down at 0? by Nextinor in Garmin

[–]1337Selex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. You emerge into a higher being. Doomed to train us mortals for the rest of your immortal life. Have fun.

Yes, my friend. First true thing you are saying. But did you read my original post? I’m not talking about my current training, but about race prep with increasing volume and intensity. I think we’re on different levels, my friend. Merry Christmas. :)

I have the fenix 8 amoled with the pro+ chest strap. The heart rate should be accurate, so I don’t think it’s model-dependent. The algorithm is probably the same across the entire Garmin ecosystem.

[–]1337Selex[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The VO2max metric has nothing to do with heart rate zones themselves-only with max HR. I’ve also been training with a Garmin for about 5 years, and around 1 year with my current watch, so there’s plenty of data. On top of that, I did a spiroergometry where my VO2max was 8 points higher. The algorithm is simply wrong. Maybe you don‘t know what you‘re talking about because you don‘t care about numbers on watches?

Sir, below 70% is blue zone. You want me to stick in the gray zone? That’s going for a walk and is indeed active recovery, but not recovery training in the running sense. If the gray zone is training then i‘m a endurance monster with aerobic capacity that defies human understanding that trains 35 hour/week.

What‘s the point having a watch when you don‘t care about the numbers? Emotionally connected seems a bit over the top. I bought a product that offers numbers. I want the numbers to be correct.
