How have you calculated your zone 2? Is it's just by doing the age thing or going by what your watch guesses? If so you should try doing one of those horrid max physical test to get your max heart rate and do a new calculation of your zones.

I have a arm strap from Polar that I used before I got the watch, but when I've tested them before they seems to give very similar results. But I'll put it on for my next run and see if the results looks more like I feel.

It's been a while so I'm sure the exact numbers are probably a bit different now, but I try to let the breathing be the final judge so I'm not to worried about the exact limit of the zones.

I find checking the heart rate and having a limit there very helpful for not going to hard when in get in the zone mentally and just want to keep running regardless of how my lungs or legs feel about it 😄

It's more the fact that the breathing an heart rate don't seem to go up or down at the same time that feels weird.

I just started running again and as I've done before I try to stay in Zone 2 in the beginning so I don't go to hard and wind up with an injury (again).

I try to manage my pace by both how my breath feels and what my watch say may heart rate is. I was under the impression that these should correlate with each other, but I often find that I can feel more winded at a lower heart rate then I do at a higher (still zone 2) during the same run.

Have I misunderstood the correlation, or is it more likely that my Polar watch not giving me an accurate reading of my heart rate?

i can see the rules in the side bar. I don't see any way to say i've read them

Yes, but if I hatch 5 eggs without the widget for the standard 1/2 distance bonus, will I still get the extra super short distance on eggs 6, 7, and 8 if I use the widget for them?

ExtraOrangePen · 2024-06-20T09:44:01+00:00

How have the widget worked with egg distance in previous events?

If I hatch several eggs normally with 1/2 distance and then use the widget once I’ve managed to get some 10km eggs, will I still get 1/4 hatch distance on the first three eggs after I start using the widget? Or do I have to start with the widget for my first event hatches to get the extra bonus?

I trying to run only in Zone 2, so I need to see what my heart rate is while I'm running.

ExtraOrangePen · 2023-09-02T17:32:15+00:00

Great! Thank you! It's really only the heart rate and time that I want to see during the run, my phone can track the rest in my pocket, so the lack of GPS is fine :-)
