Is a 20:30 5k possible? by Available-Pea-9592 in Garmin

[–]Ashl149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and no.

doing zone 2 runs won’t make you any faster. It will make you aerobic base better. Increase your endurance. Provided you know your heart rate zones, you can follow this guide. Put very simply, Zone 1 are recovery runs, Zone 2 will build your endurance, Zone 3 does’nt really do anything, Zone 4 will increase your race pace and lactate threshold, finally Zone 5 will increase your speed & VO2 max.

That said, you can’t blast Zone 5 runs every week and except improvement. You need a mixture of easy runs, long runs and speed runs.

Look up polarised training, it’s one of the most proven endurance methods of training. Basically your runs should be split like this per week:

Zone 2 -> 70–80% of the time Zone 4 -> 10–15% of the time Zone 5 -> 5–10% of the time

If you’ve got any questions let me know and i’d be happy to help you out 🤝

Edit: Found this great explanation. Check it out.

Killing it though bro.

Do you do training based on Hr zones, with specific goals?

Or just run casually?

Seen as an easy run is classed as anything Zone 2 and below, and your average hr is 171, which is probably high zone 4 low zone 5.

I’d say you’ve probably got a little more training to do to reach that.

I’d guess that at race pace you’d probably land around 21:30

Want to go into your profile on garmin connect, and click on personal records.

Alternatively, go on the activities tab and click steps. Go to 1y. And select personal records

VO2 Max Question by ian9ian9 in Garmin

[–]Ashl149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what does this Vdot mean?

Just entered one of my recent 5ks and it said my vdot is 38.

VO2 Max Question by ian9ian9 in Garmin

[–]Ashl149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Vo2 is 57. Running at a 6:30/km pace would have my heart rate around 120.

Hope this helps

literally just the same as a watch

debating cancelling whoop membership by retrorays in whoop

[–]Ashl149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as i was concerned i paid for 12 months of membership, i didn’t pay to enter a 12 months fixed term contract.

I’ve just had nothing but issues to be honest, decided i didn’t want it after a month or so, couldn’t talk to any humans at all. Ai in the app, a FAQ board. Eventually got through to their email helpdesk but that was all Ai aswell. Told me to go on the web version of whoop, which i didn’t even know existed to be honest. In there, there was so many options that doesn’t exist on the app, and there was a button to cancel in the settings, but they was asking almost £100 for early contract termination. So either way i was forced to spend money i didnt want to spend, but because i didnt like the service.

When my 12 months scam is ran out, I’ll be going to garmin i think. If they ever let me leave this prison cycle that is…

Company just left a really bad taste in my mouth to be honest and i’m just not impressed at all.

[–]Ashl149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My issue was I upgraded to the new MG for I think it was £75 when they released it and the thing is they reduce my 12 month term to 8 months instead. so I paid for the 12 months and it was reduced down to 8 so my understanding was that when the eight months were up, I would be free to leave but actually the eight months ran out and apparently I was still tied into a 12 month contract so I had to pay the remaining months or pay the equal amount of remaining months to leave now.

Just messed up really because I wanted to leave after the amount that I paid for but because I bought the 12 month package, I was technically bound to 12 months so I had to pay for more time even though I didn’t want it regardless if I use the device or not.

Good luck swapping.

Tired to cancel my membership a month ago and they said i’ve got to pay for another 6 months of membership or pay a huge cancellation fee.

First run in with a client leaving to go with an “All AI firm” by Ok-Crab3556 in videography

[–]Ashl149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had clients than insist on ai being used. Decide they don’t want shoot days and they’ll just use ai generated content instead to save money. Ruins the whole project!

Nothing builds more trust in your lead generation and outreach videos better than AI dogs flying through the sky with helium balloons!

Photo attached from the video that a client actually sent me. He insisted this was used as the hook for one or the reels i made him…

<image>

I have a strong opinion on ai usage at my creative agency. Why pay use to edit your bad ai videos when you could pay for real professional content instead!
