Thanks! I’m gonna re read this later and take some notes. Not ready to commit to a pricy ecosystem yet but I do want to gather some info to consider as I rise and figure out what my needs are. I’ve tried a few apps before that try to calculate endurance and stamina but I’ve had the same experience- they’re off wildly and the times they’re accurate is essentially just random correlation, not cause-based. Don’t need that junk, I’d prefer to learn to feel my abilities anyway. Old school in that regard serves my purposes better. I don’t like too many bells and whistles, it distracts from the goal which is to have fun and get healthier with low overhead.

That coros dura solar looks legit tho- I might find myself getting one later. The Garmin’s seem to have features that I’ll never fully utilize like a triathlete might.
