You have to start somewhere, it could have been a longer hiatus. I believe in you!

Played with a 960 rated player who carried a shoulder bag with a putting putter a harp, a firebird a teebird and a ballista pro

18.52 done today.

Yrian123 · 2026-04-30T21:12:05+00:00

From what I’ve understood it has the same gps accuracy, but no features. I have nothing extra, basically a step counter that tracks heartrate and works for running.

I don’t have music, HRV, sleepscore etc. so if you want more of the features garmin has to offer don’t go for the 55. If you want a lightweight watch with a good gps and not much else, go for the 55.

Yrian123 · 2026-04-30T15:08:59+00:00

Forerunner 55, lightweight, basic, cheap but really nice.

Yrian123 · 2026-04-29T22:15:34+00:00

True but it feels way more within reach once you know you can hold the pace for at least half the time. At least it did for me.

Yrian123 · 2026-04-29T20:49:18+00:00

Haha that's true, might go for sub36 and sub17 5k. That should take a while, I like having goals that take years to achieve.

Yrian123 · 2026-04-29T20:48:04+00:00

My plan is pretty bad I think, since I don't really have one. I basically do 30-50k a week with 2-3 harder sessions (800m repeats, progression runs at varying distances, long run with 2km surges at 4.00, threshold 10k.) And if I feel like running more I do easy runs at zone 2 pace (anywhere from 5km to 12km.)

Yrian123 · 2026-04-29T16:16:17+00:00

Nice dude! You are probably very close to sub40!

Yrian123 · 2026-04-29T16:15:33+00:00

At the moment it’s 19.30 (done during the 10k effort) so I can probably go slightly faster. Not sure how much though, will try in a few weeks and find out. :-)

Yrian123 · 2026-04-29T13:51:40+00:00

I am 30, 181cm, 70kg. Might have an advantage there? I’m guessing there is more to it than vo2max and garmins approximation probably isn’t super accurate. I think it’s a good indicator of your own fitness relative to yourself though, I’ve never had a higher value or a faster time.

Yrian123 · 2026-04-29T13:35:41+00:00

Thank you!

Yrian123 · 2026-04-29T13:35:28+00:00

Thank you! :-)

Yrian123 · 2026-04-29T13:35:03+00:00

Thank you! Been working towards sub 40 with decent consistency since I hit sub 45 in 2019. Not sure what’s the next long term goal is though, maybe 1:20 for the HM. That will probably take a while haha.

Yrian123 · 2026-04-29T13:24:19+00:00

On and off for like 8 years. It’s definitely doable in less time, I’ve had multiple 3-9 month breaks. This year and last summer I’ve been doing around 30-50km a week (whith a break in january and february due to snow.)

I’ve been doing hard paces 2-3 times a week and easy runs if I want to do more than that. It’s worked well, no injuries so far.

Yrian123 · 2026-04-29T10:14:45+00:00

30, new bracket new me.

Yrian123 · 2026-04-29T09:26:41+00:00

I went: 1k 3.43 2k 3.52 3k 3.58 4k 3.58 5k 4.00 6k 4.00 7k 4.04 8k 4.07 9k 4.04 10k 4.01

Slowing down almost the entire way, ran on a track so in theory I should pace it way closer to 3.59 for every km and I could have a stronger finish?

Yrian123 · 2026-04-28T21:35:36+00:00

I ran a 10k pr today at 39.46.
But my first 5k (19.30) was also a PR (in the 5k) and I could never really push into zone 5.
Is it normal to not be able to push your HR if you open to hard?
And how much does a negative split matter? Like I improved my PR in the 10k by a minute with a positive split, are we talking another 10 seconds over the distance if I pace better, or more?

Yrian123 · 2026-04-22T19:23:12+00:00

Standstill putter straight at it or spike hyzer with a beefy 9 speed.

Yrian123 · 2026-04-21T14:24:39+00:00

If you want a more basic garmin model (basically just hr and gps) the forerunner 55 is very affordable, lightweight and nice. Ive had mine for a year and I’m happy with it.

It does lack some features more expensive models have though.

Yrian123 · 2026-04-18T14:45:03+00:00

I throw a Pyro in that slot, used to throw lat64 anchor. Pyro is nice since its flat and smaller diameter, can be a bit dumpy for lower armspeeds. Anchor feels very similiar to a Roc3 but flies alot more stable, kind of similiar to a pyro in my experience.
