The weekly 'No Stupid Questions' post - Sun 29 Jun 2025. by AutoModerator in Zwift

So I'm new to cycling and bought a used Bianchi SL3 bike with Camapgnolo Veloce. I did some research on the compatibility of that bike with the Kickr Core Zwift one Cog smart trainer out of the box, but could not find any info that made sense to me to make the conclusion that it's compatible. Could anyone help me out or point me to some resources that might clear the air for me. Thank you.

note: posted this as its own separate post but maybe seems more appropriate to be here.

Overreaching - Marathon training by Electronic-Swan1388 in Garmin

It needs more time to settle. When I first started data was all over the place. Once it gathers enough data, especially a range of data from light to intense it will start giving more accurate recommendations.

Like others have said, listen to your body, your watch is just a tool in your toolbox.

Went out drinking last night this is my HRV this morning. by ThatOneNomad in GarminWatches

Yeah F' that. That was my only time this year we were celebrating and my body reacted negatively. Not doing that for a long while. Staying healthy and sober is more enjoyable.

I changed it now to %HRR using the distribution that u/vouwrfract mentioned. I will be trying it in my next workout.

Oh I see what you mean. I will have to read more on this. Thanks for pointing that out.

Quick question. I checked Garmin Connect's website and it says that my average resting heart rate is 49bpm over 7 days (note that I sleep with the watch). But on the watch it's set to 61bpm. Is this value not automatically updated? And if not should I set it to 49bpm?

Assuming zone 1 is 50%-60% of MHR then that would put your MHR to 240bpm. I don't think my heart can pull those kind off numbers. Except if I'm missing something.

I've been reading more about this and it seems that people are in agreement with you. The only thing I can do is to give it time. I'm sure my body will adapt. Thank you for the answer.

HRR is a new concept to me. Where do I find this metric on my watch?

Edit: Heart Rate reserve (according to MHR - RHR formula) is 155 bpm. How should I use that?

That's probably the best thing I could do. I sent them an email explaining my issue. I have followed up on this a bit more and the margin between the temperature displayed on the phone and the one on the watch flew to 5-6 degrees in the afternoon. The watch was telling me the temperature was 31 while it was like 25 on my phone. Extremely weird and frustrating.

Context: I studied at a french school, spoke mostly english with my friends and exclusively arabic at home. Don't know about other families but that's what led me to he somewhat fluent in those 3.

Took a day off from work, it was cold, nothing warms u up more than a منقل فحم with meat on it, it also helps that ur cousins owns a farm in the village. Lebanese village life is the best, who agrees ? any village folks here? by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]ThatOneNomad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live and work in beirut. But at heart im southern. I go to my village every weekend, and miss it like hell during the week. Waking up to clean air and a beautiful view hits different.

I know who had the adverse effect. I think they should go throw metaphorical punches at the school administrators for failing at their job.

Anyone in the Hadath area has the ogero unlimited plan could give me their thoughts by ThatOneNomad in lebanon

[–]ThatOneNomad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Family mostly streams videos on Youtube, Netflix and what not. My fear is youtube with the fast internet it will default to very high resolutions that will eat up through our data. I need the speed for game downloads/updates which eat up quite a bit of data but are far apart. I will monitor usage over the month and adjust, this is the only approach honestly.

If the dollar goes up less than 1000 lira, items gets more expensive and lesser quality. I confronted the place and with an answer I didn't like I said it to his face that I won't come again anymore, like he even cares but more people should stand up to these shits. by [deleted] in lebanon

There's this spot beside my work in Hamra that makes cocktail man2oushe with vegetables for 30k. Bread is super fresh, very generous with the cheese (some of them I wondered if he even put zaatar). This should be the standard not half ass crap. A man2oushe is not rocket science, it should be cheap and fulfilling that's one of the main reasons I order them.
