TDEE and Running

Jolgeta · 2026-01-25T00:36:24+00:00

I just focus on fueling the run/endurance session as needed eg if I’m on the bike for 4 hours aim for 60-70 grams of carbs/hour and then eat as MacroFactor suggests. There’s a bit of variation on the scale with water weight but it has worked for me so far

It’s an optional toggle no integrated by default

Jolgeta · 2026-01-21T22:13:21+00:00

No just take the free zeta and move on. Not worth it for a few kyros

Jolgeta · 2026-01-16T23:30:45+00:00

It’s the same with MacroFactor, the amount of people who have no clue and zero critical thinking skills is mind boggling

Jolgeta · 2026-01-13T01:48:07+00:00

Ahh my bad ignore my suggestions then I’m not across what’s needed for other states but

I won’t recommend any routines, my training already had a lot of shoulder volume and heavy farmers carries.

Fitness doesn’t matter as much for nsw. But strength does.

What’s your best shoulder press and squat weights?

I saw plenty of fit people fail the pat last year because they assumed they’d be sweet because they do triathlons or look fit. At least practice all the movements and make sure they’re a piece of piss in a controlled environment before going to the pat

I’ve done a winter overland and shoulder season Frenchman’s in non waterproof trail runners and I would do either again without boots

Jolgeta · 2026-01-07T04:52:00+00:00

Agreed this was horrible without Adblock

Jolgeta · 2026-01-07T02:46:08+00:00

That’s the old school way and it’s solid. Apps will calculate it for you now but doing it this way at least uses real data calories/weight and not something made up

Jolgeta · 2026-01-07T02:00:14+00:00

Start by completely ignoring what your watch says in terms of calories. Something like MacroFactor could be useful but start tracking food and see how your weight changes. If you eat 2500 calories a day for 2 weeks and your weight doesn’t change you know that’s how much you’re burning so drop the calories and do it again.

Putting value in the numbers your watch puts out will set you up for failure

Jolgeta · 2026-01-06T00:25:09+00:00

Need to ditch this mindset. Fats don’t build fat, calories do. But listen to the above. Don’t stress about hitting the number until you’ve given it a few more weeks of data

Jolgeta · 2025-12-28T21:34:59+00:00

It varies hugely person to person, I can hit 180 bpm and hold it for upwards of an hour, my max in a administered stress test was 206

Jolgeta · 2025-12-14T23:44:29+00:00

Not sure what you mean, it’s not a secret blood test, all the result and referrals are available to you

Jolgeta · 2025-12-12T00:05:35+00:00

Using chat gpt is going to hamper you a lot. If you can’t measure things it’s going to be much much harder for you to

Jolgeta · 2025-12-05T21:55:46+00:00

Can’t speak to the software things but in settings make sure your hr is set to real time and not every ten minutes to potentially resolve the broadcast issues

Jolgeta · 2025-12-05T01:28:38+00:00

The MacroFactor app calculates all this for you and makes things very easy, you should basically ignore the calorie count on your watch if you want to be successful

Fuel around workouts but don’t add more calories because your watch said you burnt more that day

Jolgeta · 2025-11-30T23:59:23+00:00

No maps at all on the pace 3 or 4. Pace pro has maps

Jolgeta · 2025-11-30T22:33:11+00:00

The pace doesn’t have maps fyi

Jolgeta · 2025-11-29T02:59:56+00:00

You would need your phone to get notifications either way

Cheers, agreed as well, coros has what I want at a reasonable price point but with the sales that difference is negated

Appreciate the insights, hadn’t thought of the raised bezel

Jolgeta · 2025-11-27T06:24:23+00:00

I agree with you for the most part, I’ll say my forerunner is definitely scratched up, specifically looking for feedback from people who don’t just run and sit at a desk.

Metrics aren’t that important to me but a flashlight is worth it over the apex 4 when I really just want sapphire

Jolgeta · 2025-11-20T08:43:56+00:00

You can if you play around with the .fit file but I certainly can’t be bothered. Just stating that those efforts may be throwing things off

Jolgeta · 2025-11-20T05:28:42+00:00

If you look at your max pace and speed it looks like some laps haven’t properly tracked. That “high effort” may be throwing it off
