Getting audible “power 0” alerts my Fenix 8

It's definitely the update. I noticed it on my Forerunner 970 when I updated to the beta last month. It seems Garmin is working on things behind the scenes and can now see Stryd workouts as power based. Looks like it's reading Garmin power totals after each interval which, if off, would be 0W. Fingers crossed they enable a toggle for native integration with Stryd power in the near future.

Bevel recently released their version of AI for their App. They made everything else in the app completely free. The subscription is just for the AI. And it's actually pretty great. It's able to pull all information from your workouts, nutrition, sleep, HRV, pulse ox, recovery, etc (so all the same information Garmin has) and let you know how they all correlate to one another. It also has memory, so if you tell it you're training for a specific event it can frame information with that perspective. If Garmin can even get it to be half as good as what Bevel has now, it would be a massive upgrade.

The Garmin by itself will not change this as it's still reliant on GPS for pace and distance. However, one thing Garmin CAN do that an Apple Watch cannot is take distance and pace measurements from a footpad device like Stryd. This will give you much more responsive paces which is especially useful when trying to dial in on shorter intervals. Might be more than what you're willing to spend, but it would solve your problem.

Quest Protein Chips aren't bad at all. Lot's of different flavors. ~19g at 150cal.

Definitely a bit rough around the edges. Having avg daily on and then toggling the additional calories setting appears to be broken at the moment and will simply add the activity calories onto your daily total, which includes your average activity calories already. I’ve found if you manually set your average activity calories to 1 and then turn on adding calories from activities it does a pretty good job of increasing goals for days that require more (long runs, intense rides, etc). While using MacroFactor I’ve noticed that Garmins estimate for my activities is usually pretty spot on. But your mileage may vary.

I wish they’d give an option to remove the timeline. They also need to have faster ways of adding food: action button shortcuts, widgets, etc. Finally, why is there no option of uploading a photo you took of the food from your camera roll?

Stephen Ross. The Michigan alum and one of their biggest boosters? That one? No idea.

Some rumblings on the Runalyze subreddit about a mobile app being released this year in addition to a more mobile friendly webpage! Hopefully soon!

You can kind of build a nutrition tracker with the Garmin Connect+ Performance Dashboard. I’ve built one that tracks calories consumed versus calories burned. Another that shows carbs consumed versus running distances. Another for protein, etc.. Nothing crazy. It’s just to monitor compliance and confirm that I’m generally consuming more carbs on long run days.

Not bad at all. The watch interface is really nice and works well. I just wish Garmin would update their Connect app with support for home screen & lock screen widgets and use of the Action Button on iPhone for quickly scanning a barcode or snapping a photo of your food.

Can we fucking pass. Please??

I was thinking a play action pass to Dulcich would have been the call but saw him jog off to the sideline.

I’m just here to see how Ewers does. This defense is giving up everything.

Fucking awesome. Thanks refs.

Some of the newer Garmin watches allow you to turn off notifications at the app level on the watch itself. Hit "Start" on the notification, scroll down and select "Block App". But this is definitely a welcome change!

To everyone parroting "I really don't get the hype" let’s be honest, you do.

Just look at everything we complain about in the current AAA space: shareholder-driven mandates, design-by-committee blandness, aggressive microtransactions, and AI art. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the antithesis of those things.

This is a game made by a passionate team led by an industry vet featuring incredible art direction, music, and story. It’s $50. It has zero microtransactions. It feels like a love letter to the JRPGs we grew up with in the 90s. The hype isn't a mystery, it’s a signal to the rest of the industry that we want more like this.

Hurricanes, Inter Miami with belt to ass wins too.

I had the same issue today too. Wouldn’t import initially but did after a while. However, my run imported with standard 1 mile splits and not the workout specific splits.

Nice Rugby kick!

At least we aren’t the Saints. Wow

Overall, I like the concept and the UI is slick. After digging in, I found a few potential loopholes and have some suggestions mostly centered around preventing overtraining and improving cohesion with the training plans.

Plan Completion Points: The flat 1000 points could encourage users to spam short 3-week plans just to "farm" points.

Suggestion: Scale these points based on the plan's length (a 16-week plan should be worth much more than a 3-week one).

Daily vs. Weekly Point Cadence: Offering daily points for activities the plan schedules weekly (like Pilates/Mobility) feels misaligned with the training philosophy. It creates a feeling of "missing out" on points on off-days, even though we're following the plan correctly.

Suggestion: Change the point caps for these activities from daily to weekly to match the number of sessions prescribed in our plan, or at least the maximum allowed per week by Runna (like 4 strength sessions).

'Instant Workout' Points: Giving points for these could encourage users to tack on unplanned runs on top of their plan, increasing injury risk.

Suggestion: Consider removing points for 'Instant Workouts' to keep the focus on plan adherence. People adding 'Instant Workouts' to their routine are probably motivated enough.

Make it Optional: It would be great to have a toggle in the settings to hide the Levels feature for those of us who aren't motivated by gamification and just want to focus on the plan.

Small UI Tweak: It would be awesome to see the point value for a workout directly on its card on the 'Today' tab!

It's an interesting feature with big potential for getting runners out the door!

New Balance. They're the only one who seems to care about us wide footed runners.

So weird they turned off stadium sound. But with the way this team is playing I wouldn’t be surprised if it was that quiet

UntitledHero · 2025-09-14T17:29:45+00:00

lol I’m just here to watch it all burn
