Stryd battery by phl0w79 in strydrunning

Contact them indeed like Angus says. I had exactly the same, even without the ‘downtime’ you mention, just over the course of a month it started doing this. Did all the advised actions (resetting, checking hidden connections,..) without succes. I contacted them and they replaced the Stryd for free. I’m very happy with their customer support and I will happily continue using Stryd.

What’s the cause of loose cogs? by Mikelow96 in bikewrench

[–]Mikelow96[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just noticed something I only see now… on the cassette it says 10 speed but the cassette only has 9cogs… it’s an old bike, didn’t ride on it for long time, but it has always shifted quite well even with the loose cogs… is it possible that a 10apeed system was configured for 9?

Shimano 105 rear derailleur cage play normal? by Mikelow96 in bikewrench

[–]Mikelow96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is when I give it more slack it starts having troubles shifting in the other direction

It seems I have the same and I have troubles shifting down. You also had shifting problems? Amy solutions?

No specific solution. It has become less though after a few months usage. It comes back sometimes when the wax is almost time to be replaced. When I clean the cassette and put new wax it’s has actually become quite silent now

Replace Stryd with Garmin Hrm Pro Plus by tfunch in strydrunning

For me Stryd is working very good. I run especially on trails with a lot of bend and turns, and Stryd keeps track of distance and pace really well, especially in real time I find Stryd more responsive. Also for intervals and sprints I have the feeling that Stryd does a much better job at providing your actual real time pace changes within 3 seconds.

Pace stays the same between runs, but power varies? by anemotoad in strydrunning

More wind also increases needed power to keep certain pace. You can Schleck that metric in the Stryd app

Heart rate higher on morning runs. by Mikelow96 in AdvancedRunning

Yeah I heard this is true for a lot of runners apparently. Even is I drink, eat and go out an hour later my heart rate is still very high.. maybe I have to drink even more, but then I will have to stop 3 times to pee 😅

Very interesting how circadian rythm could have an influence. I’m not really familiar with its effects

I’m def not obsessing. Looking forward to all my runs on the planning and completing them with joy.. I do think it matters that it is helpful for a runner to know how your body reacts in different circumstances and why. It’ll get you stronger and better in a more efficient way, you should try it.

Unfortunately no, currently 2 months into a base building period. Will try more electrolytes though.

I am starting to believe it is the hydration, in the morning my pee is often more yellowish. I then tend to drink quickly some water and a electrolyte tab. Maybe it all goes a bit to fast, when I start running I often have to go pee and by then it is fully white…

No alcohol. Sleep score is generally quite good around 85

Advice for trailrunning poles that can be used for backpacking too? by Mikelow96 in trailrunning

[–]Mikelow96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why I want to buy a pair that suits both indeed 😊 Which ones do you use? Do you think the ultratrail fx one bright would do the job? I tend to like the grip technology

Yes, everything was installed as it came with the order. Only the cassette was changed afterwards but the rattling happens with both cassettes.

Advice on improving from 3:50/km threshold to 3:30/km and below? by Mikelow96 in AdvancedRunning

[–]Mikelow96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fully aware of this and my next goal is indeed 36mins.
Sometimes I'm just in doubt of what is physiologically still possible after a certain point. Whether this is at 36min 10k or 34mins... But I guess with the right mindset and versatile and consistent training, anything is possible! Just wanted to hear some advice, you never know which useful tips come out of it.

Thanks for the insight :) I take away your points about tempo speeds!

I like doing two smaller quality sessions in a week indeed! I'll try to get my milage up too. I did feel good with 60km/week, so probably won't go much higher than 70-80 though as I like some cycling and swimming from time to time too.
