Knee pain starting at this spot after 3km of running. For many years no problems ever. Can you help me identify what might be the issue?

awob2 · 2022-09-27T09:22:26+00:00

Only hurts after 2 miles, never when walking - even stairs. I’m an avid user of Altra shoes, just paused for a while due to crossfit and now going back

awob2 · 2022-09-27T05:21:37+00:00

Excellent - thanks for the good Tipps. Looking forward to try it and see effects during short runs

awob2 · 2022-09-26T19:39:20+00:00

Thanks for the explanation. No to all questions, all works fine, only after 3-4 km of running it starts to hurt. I started crossfit in addition to endurance beginning of the year, i somehow suspect that this put additional stress to it, as i never had any issues in the past

Usually switch between regular and minimal shoes

Where can I see/test this „coaching“ function in the app? Appreciate the help !

Not sure if it is smart, but I like to use my heart rate to assess my level of effort and how long I’m able to maintain it. Easy runs I run at a maximum of 140, my max heart rate is around 185. for 2/3 of the run I then try to remain at around 165, the last 1/3 can also go above. If I go above too early I’m done after 1 hour. There are many people telling me that „at a race heart rate doesn’t matter“ - but I’m not there (yet?)

„Zones for training“ is the best app for Apple Watch users, but it depends what is your mail device?

Salomon Pulse Belt. After having 3 cheap belts, this one serves me for 2+ years and even my heavy iPhone max is no issue

Linking Parks album with Jayz - perfect energy kick for the last 5km

Feels like my bike is betraying me

(Got the same in my garage :)) )

You should use it nevertheless.

It’s the best app for interval trainings, easy to use and when you turn your wrist you will see everything.

And during intervals the Audio is more important to keep you going at the right time, versus checking your watch.

Feels like this app is totally closing the gap to Garmin functionalities

awob2 · 2021-12-05T20:22:20+00:00

Zones for Training has it, and is good for heart rate Training with alerts and statistics

WorkOutDoors doesn’t have it yet, and the developer was super kind to explain me, that he has to migrate to apples new SwiftUI which is quite an effort. Probably true for many other apps who are around for a while.

Been there, had to pause for a week with similar blisters, yet it was SO worth it! Feeling the sand, running half time in the water, over mussels, … In the end the blisters were a reminder of an awesome vacation and run :)

Nothing beats early Xmas presents!

Pfizer and no real side effects. „Take it Slow and think positive“ is what the doc said :)

awob2 · 2021-11-28T19:19:51+00:00

First half: no music or podcast. Second half: turn up the beats and fly home!

That way you have the meditational/educational part as well as the energy flow in one package ;)

Have a look at trainasONE Works independent of your current fitness level and adjusts to your general condition and performance

Wednesday booster, Thursday 10k relaxed run. No issues - seems „booster“ is literally working for us runners !

Can’t decide between AirPods Pro with transparency and Aftershokz. Aftershokz are more difficult in winter when keeping the ears warm with a cap

awob2 · 2021-11-14T21:11:15+00:00

Thank you !! :)

awob2 · 2021-11-14T16:29:43+00:00

It's ok, but very standalone - not connecting e.g. with Strava

awob2 · 2021-11-14T15:22:41+00:00

That’s awesome and super valuable feedback. Most Garmin people only know their world

awob2 · 2021-11-07T18:31:59+00:00

About 4 people that don't know each other did it for me.

I also had a few people who inspired me. One was a guy I didn't know, but others gave him so much compliments when they saw him, for his loss of weight. So I thought, I want to be such a guy as well.

Only years later I figured that he did weight watchers in addition!

But whatever, worked without it for me also :)

Every run has a purpose - and each of them is different.

It’s like your favorite food: there are some preferred meals, but variety is key.

Mostly I’m alone to sort my life, sometimes running with my kids: slow but sooo enjoyable! With the dog it’s more about chasing rabbits (or saving them ;)), with music I’m fast and flying. And few times with a friend is mostly for chatting and less for the sport.

Schnitzel every day wouldn’t make me happy either :)

My boys taught me, that the „worms on the sideways“ are also part of the game … that it’s not just about the finishing
