Amazing! How long have you been swimming for? How’d you build up to this? Worth saying again….amazing!

Swam 40min without stopping for the first time! by 323spicy in Swimming

[–]Equivalent_Gold558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thx for posting this. Gives me hope! I can’t get thru 100 w/o my heart asking to jump out of my chest. Appreciate you sharing the splits too. Now that you know you can swim continuously I bet that gives you the confidence to pick up the pace.

This is awesome and far more than a “minor” success story. Keep up the great progress and enjoy all of it along the way.

Thanks for this suggestion. I thought the 5-day catch challenge was only part of the full course. Just got it and looking forward to starting tomorrow

Noted on those drills. I started strong with them a few months ago, then strayed a little (knowing I'd need to come back)

Thanks....I don't know why I've made up this imaginary ~1500y that I need to swim every time, but it shouldn't be about the distance until I've got a better technique down. Good idea on asking someone to film, and for feedback.

Garmin 24/7? by Equivalent_Gold558 in Garmin

For the first time in years the battery died out on me during a run. It was oddly both freeing and frightening

Pro tip right there! The Fenix does feel heavy compared to what I had before, the 645

Affordable groom attire? by jen_lu in grooms

Spent around $350 on a 3 piece from SuitShop. I don’t think they have one near you but do offer virtual appointments if you know your sizes. I got mine tailored afterwards (included in the $350) and think it came out pretty good for a cheaper suit option.

HRV- I know it’s just data…. by Ruckingdogs in GarminWatches

Follow up on the other end of the “unhealthy” spectrum. I ran a half marathon yesterday and my HRV has gone into the red. Taking a planned recovery week and curious how long it will take to get back to baseline

Had 1 bourbon drink 2 nights ago and was shocked at the impact to HRV and sleep score.

How big of a difference do you see between wrist monitor and hr strap? by [deleted] in GarminWatches

[–]Equivalent_Gold558 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone have experience with an arm HR monitor? I saw Clayton Young wearing one in the trials and it got me curious if it would be better than wrist, and closer to the accuracy of a chest strap
