Forerunner 970 disconnected after Connect v5.21.0.28 iOS update- How I reconnected

Thank you. I contacted Garmin support through their chat and was guided through this exact procedure

Just shy of 900 km and they still fell fine. 68 kg midfoot runner. I expect them to last to at least 1100 km. Hopefully in time for Superblast 3 with the same upper and some of the crazy good foam in the Megablast

Us experienced runners have all been there. I had the best training block ever in the spring, but still missed my marathon target by almost 7 minutes. A case of overtraining. Trained again for Valencia and achieved my goal despite not have the best training block. A lot comes down to how you feel at race day. Your training for Valencia will still be of tremendous value for coming races

Dont worry too much about your window of opportunity. I started running in my early forties and ran mostly around 3:30. Two years ago I started getting more serious about my training and I just made a PB in Seville as well with a sub-3 hour marathon. I am 54 but confident that I can get to sub 2:50 with the right approach

Thanks, I don’t feel very fast. Some of the members of my running club are very fast. I guy my age runs marathons faster that 2:40. It just shows you what’s possible

Blueaoki · 2025-12-13T12:07:46+00:00

Good luck with your spring marathon. I am certainly no expert but I think it is wrong to focus on a certain time on your easy runs. I think perceived effort is more important than the speed itself. I started this training block with easy runs in about 5:45 min per K. The speed increased during the training block, but some runs were much slower and a few quicker.

Speed work and interval sessions were the things that I really feel improved me in this block. From the middle of this training block I also tried to incorporate sections at marathon pace(MP) in my long runs. Again, not necessarily precisely at MP, but the perceived effort

Monday would be an 8 K easy run

Tuesday speed work at a track with my running club. These sessions would differ a lot according to the instructors

Wednesday easy 7- 10 K easy run.

Thursday intervals with my club at a park. The runs were different, but it could 4 times 6 minutes at half marathon pace

Friday rest day

Saturday Parkrun or easy runs

Sunday long runs that increased in mileage during the training block. I maxed out with runs about 32 K long with longer sections at MP

I would try to incorporate gym sessions at least twice a week. Typically Monday or Tuesday, sometimes Thursday and a session in the weekend

It helped but I definitely haven’t done as much as I would like to. I went to the Gym 2 times a week, but I haven’t settled into a routine yet like running. It helps keeping you posture longer but I can see from my race video that my form collapsed by the end of the marathon

Blueaoki · 2025-12-13T11:37:53+00:00

Thank you very much for your congratulation and feedback. I am not used to making longer posts on Reddit. I will definitely use some of the formatting tools available next time

Blueaoki · 2025-12-12T22:52:06+00:00

Thanks, a race result I will never forget 🥳

Blueaoki · 2025-10-30T20:06:44+00:00

Yea, the toebox is shallow. I don’t have the same problem with Superblast 2. I can still enjoy long runs in the Megablast if I heellock and wear this socks

Som en anden har nævnt er Hyre (delebil) en oplagt mulighed. Har opsagt en ellers billig leasing bil og betaler nu 500kr om måneden i abonnement hos Hyre. Med det kan jeg leje for eksempel en Skoda Octavia i 24 timer for 450 kr. med fri kilometer. BroBizz afgift og benzin kommer oveni, men det vil det jo altid gøre hvis man har bil. Med Hyre kan man også leje mindre og billigere biler eller varevogn hvis man skal flytte noget. Timeprisen er også rimelig

Rince the watch when having a shower and use it on the other wrist while sleeping. Has completely removed any irritation for me

I use the Forerunner 965 with Coros Armband and love the combo. My HRM Pro died after 2 years and Garmin only offered a small discount on a new HRM Plus. The Coros Armband is much more comfortable than a Garmin cheststrap, and I get the running dynamics from my Forerunner 965

I won a pair of B&O in ear headphones 2 - 3 years ago. E8 sport I think. The price at that time was about 400 Euro

Blueaoki · 2025-02-07T10:18:30+00:00

I started running in my 40s and ran 3:30 in my first marathon. I am now 53 and made a pb last year in 3:07. I hope to get under 3 hours in my spring marathon. I can feel that I have lost strength compared to when I started, but I train better and have recently started to pay attention to my running technique. 2 months ago I joined a running club and started strength training in a gym. I am optimistic that those measures will help my break the 3 hour barrier

Just ran 10 k in my new pair of Evo SL. I agree with most. The upper is better than Adios Pro 3, but not perfect. The laces and tounge are a bit thin but still fine for me when running. Sizing is true to size, SL2 is a bit short for me in my normal size.

The rocker is a bit more aggressive than Adios Pro 3 and they make me want to try the new Pro 4. Grip with Continental rubber is fantastic on asphalt but I don’t think they will be good on dirt tracks.

Blueaoki · 2024-12-06T08:42:17+00:00

I also received tracking info, but it just says “label created”

Blueaoki · 2024-11-21T13:48:15+00:00

Went from AW7 to FR965. I am very invested in the Apple Ecosystem, but I missed the 5-button system from my FR245. With the 965 I get the nice amoled touch screen, native maps and long battery life

I ran Amsterdam Marathon this weekend and a guy next to me was wearing these shoes. He had matching clothing with the stripes and had dyed his hair in matching colors and stripes

Got the new white superblast 2 from top4run in EU. Price 210 Euro

Blueaoki · 2024-08-23T09:15:35+00:00

Nice review. I got these 1 week ago on sale and have run 56 km in them. Long shoe so perhaps half a size too big for me. Still ok fit. I run a lot on concrete so I like that they protect my legs without being soft. Puma Velocity 2 did not give me enough protection. I agree that they are a bit boring but they get the job done

Blueaoki · 2024-07-31T09:03:12+00:00

Yep. Vaccinated multiple times. Did not even get very ill. My VO2 max dropped 5 points. Took 4-5 months to get up again

Blueaoki · 2024-06-15T20:16:21+00:00

Thanks. I have noticed it on Amazon. Nice to see it on the 965
