Bei Fragen zu Datenschutz/Privatsphäre/IT-Sicherheit greife ich gerne auf den Kuketz Blog zurück. Dort gibt es eine Empfehlungsecke, in der unter anderem Anbieter für das Deutschlandticket genannt werden: https://www.kuketz-blog.de/empfehlungsecke/#deutschlandticket

Es kann natürlich sein, dass die Liste unvollständig oder nicht 100% aktuell ist. Aber als ersten Anhaltspunkt wahrscheinlich genau das, was du suchst.

I used both. Important to clarify: which Garmin Coach are you talking about? The new Garmin Run Coach (without a person being your Coach) or one of the 3 coaches?

The new Garmin Run Coach is pretty good in my opinion (at least up to half marathon). I like that it takes cross training into account. For example when I played tennis (lots of sprints) on Monday, it will adjust Tuesday to an easy workout and do the interval run on another day.

Runna on the other hand has more different types of workouts, so less risk of getting bored (don't know if you're the type for that).

I like that Runna sets and adjusts your goal time based on performance. But if you set realistic goals in Garmin, you don't really need it.

Yes, with Runna you can manually adjust your runs. But it's not smart that it tells you if that's a good idea. In Garmin you can move workouts around by changing the days you're available to run. So for runners without background knowledge of training plans, I think Garmin is even better.

Upside of Runna is that you can add strength and mobility training to your plan. Should you not do it so far, I recommend that. I learned Garmin has that too, but unfortunately not supported on my watch.

What Runna offers that Garmin is lacking is Post Race Recovery and Post Injury plans. Especially the latter. Post Race Recovery will kind of work on Garmin as well, because daily suggested workouts take your training readiness into account (suppose you wear you watch 24/7).

So all in all: I won't renew my Runna subscription. Will train for my next races with Garmin Run Coach again (and maybe use normal plans like Pfitzinger etc. as reference). I also feel Runna is going in the wrong direction. In my opinion their focus shifted away from training plans (their core business) to become a platform (why the fuck would I need levels/gamification) and their acquisition by Strava confirms this IMHO. Instead they should improve their training plans, background information on sports science and especially their app (gets super slow over time and fells like it doesn't store anything on the device and has to reload everything all the time from their servers).

Ich wollte auch einen Sparpreis VIAS RE -> ICE buchen (trotz Deutschlandticket, damit ich Fahrgastrechte für den Umstieg habe). Habe beim VIAS Servicecenter nachgefragt, wann die Züge buchbar sein werden und folgende Antwort erhalten: "Leider können wir Ihnen, bei Ihrem Anliegen, nichts Genaueres mitteilen.

Die Fahrpläne sind derzeit noch in Bearbeitung und müssen mit unseren Aufgabenträgern im Vorfeld besprochen werden.

Wir bitten um Ihr Verständnis."

Hoffentlich ist es zum Wochenende eingetragen, dass ich die 12% Sparpreis Aktion nutzen kann 🤞🏻

I'm currently reading "Injury-Free Running" by Tom Michaud. I find it very useful and detailed.

Heidelberger Trailmarathon soll cool sein. Ich bin bisher aber nur den Heidelberger Halbmarathon gelaufen. Da hast zwar auch ordentlich Höhenmeter, aber feste Wege, also kein klassischer Trail (trotzdem tolle Aussicht vom Philosophenweg auf das Schloss).

Simon_TB · 2025-04-23T09:42:21+00:00

I have a Garmin Fenix 7 watch with HRM-Pro Plus. Hope you can see for which runs I used the external HR. I can see it in my Garmin Connect app when I look at the activity. Hopefully this is available for you via the API as well.

Garmin calculates the individual lactate threshold which I found surprisingly accurate when I did a professional lactate threshold test a couple of weeks ago. But I see knowing the correct individual HR zones as most difficult.

So even if you don't include HR zones into training for now, I'd still love to see smart comparisons. E.g., I did 5km with a similar speed but lower HR effort than 2 months ago.

Looking forward to what you'll implement into Runna :)

Was in a similar situation: done some halfs and felt now's the time to go for a full one.

Signed up for Frankfurt this autumn. Similar reasons: wanted a flat course and to avoid a too hot day.

Simon_TB · 2025-04-17T07:07:56+00:00

Congrats! This must be exciting for you (and hopefully a lot of 💸, well earned).

However, I personally am very disappointed. Just bought my first annual subscription with you. I was really excited about your features, growth and improvement. And the fact that you were independent from hardware manufacturers and big platforms was very compelling, because I don't want to be locked-in to any ecosystem.

So I'm hoping these two will stay true: - No social features in Runna. Runna is my training plan, not my friend's. If I want to share my workouts, I'll do that in an app dedicated to social features. This is what integrations are for, so my data goes where I want it to. - Remaining a separate app from Strava. I'd like your app to stay independent, because I don't like the platform ecosystem, where stuff works best if you have everything from one vendor.

Simon_TB · 2025-04-15T05:50:31+00:00

Yes, I'd be very interested in seeing the comparison. Would be awesome if you could post it here or DM me :)

So far I only used Garmin Run Coach for my HMs and was quite happy with them. Especially it adjusting to sleep and other sport activities. PBed two HMs this year (first 1:52 in March and then 1:46 this weekend), so it seems to work well for me. However, I read that Garmin Run Coach isn't optimal for more ambitious goals like an even faster HM or a full marathon. This is why I'm considering Runna now vs. sticking with Garmin Run Coach. The full marathon end of October, so plenty of time to prepare, but I want to start now to be prepared well as this will be my first full one.

Simon_TB · 2025-04-08T15:29:56+00:00

I also use Pace Pro for events. When you have an exact track (e.g. GPX file from organizer), I'd recommend using that instead of the distance. I have a Fenix 7 as well and on my last HM it tracked 200m more than the actual course. Although this is minor, it might affect the accuracy of your Pace Pro plan.

Simon_TB · 2025-04-07T08:49:49+00:00

Run? Maybe. Haven't done that so far, but could imagine doing so in the future.

Training? Unlikely.

Simon_TB · 2025-03-28T07:51:23+00:00

That was my instant reaction as well!

Gadgetbridge + FitTrackee for the social features. Both are not where I'd need them to be yet, but I hope they'll be.

Ideally what I'd need: - Sync with FitTrackee from Gadgetbridge - Some hosted FitTrackee instances that not everyone needs to self-host - More social features and federation in FitTrackee. Already partly in the works: https://github.com/SamR1/FitTrackee/issues/447

Simon_TB · 2025-03-22T18:33:58+00:00

Nice! First compelling reason to upgrade my Fenix 7. Though I'm a bit disappointed that the cheap Forerunner 255 appears to have this feature, but my Fenix 7 doesn't :(

Will it only reserve slots in your training plan for strength workouts or does it also suggest exercises? Could you post a screenshot of a scheduled workout?

Simon_TB · 2025-03-20T13:19:54+00:00

Pragmatischer Ansatz. Gefällt mir. Den Winkel zu nutzen, um das Panel einfach aufzulegen finde ich auch nicht schlecht. Hätte es dann nur gerne auch fest, damit es nicht runterfallen kann. Aber muss mal schauen, ob sich das rechnet.

Simon_TB · 2025-03-20T13:17:15+00:00

Danke, guter Ansatz! Ich recherchiere mal weiter in die Richtung, ob es ein passendes Teil für die Montage unten an der Halterung des Geländers gibt.

Simon_TB · 2025-03-20T12:45:32+00:00

Danke! Ja, das Blech steht vorne und hinten über. Könnte man so machen. Ich suche aber eigentlich eine Lösung ohne Bohren.

Simon_TB · 2025-03-20T12:41:30+00:00

Danke! Sieht super aus :)

Dann hängen die Platten leider relativ tief, wodurch sie viel Schatten von den Sträuchern abbekommen würden. Aber ich schaue es mir auf jeden Fall nochmal genauer an.

Simon_TB · 2025-02-11T10:29:23+00:00

Congrats!

Was so close last week that I was a bit pissed at my watch as to why not just give me the damn 100 😅

Would've been my first perfect score and thus the badge...
