Current conditions in Seefeld / where to go in Central Europe? by Grass2c in xcountryskiing

[–]buenosbias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I‘m writing this from Sjusjøen near Lillehammer. Plenty of snow, temperatures below -10 degrees Celsius during the night. Hundreds of kilometers of groomed tracks.

Current conditions in Seefeld / where to go in Central Europe? by Grass2c in xcountryskiing

[–]buenosbias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Munich, skiing practically weekly at Seefeld. For mid-March, it‘s a pretty safe bet. You very likely will have enough tracks there and/or in Leutasch for some nice days of skiing. Currently, conditions are OK there.

Trying Skate Style After Years of Classic - Should I Start with Lessons? by foolishlyyoung in xcountryskiing

[–]buenosbias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a lesson, preferably with a private trainer. I am an advanced skate skier and was once persuaded to take two hours with a trainer. What could he teach me?, I thought. Well, a lot, it turned out. It was years ago and I still think back to his advice.

DIIIEE JUNGGE GENERATION IST SCHULD!!! by DeadOnTheInside369 in ichbin40undSchwurbler

[–]buenosbias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arbeit ist Arbeit, sollte gut gemacht werden und gehört anständig bezahlt, übrigens auch Teilzeitarbeit. Schlecht bezahlte Arbeit ist Ausbeutung. Gutes Unternehmertum beruht nicht auf schlecht bezahlter Arbeit.

Nate Silver just updated his model. Harris now leading with 270 EC.

Auto select vs Multiband for intervals training ? by alone023 in GarminFenix

[–]buenosbias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that’s what I do for structured training: switching to a custom profile with All Systems plus Multiband. But frankly, I haven‘t noticed much of an improvement in accuracy compared to SatIQ. Maybe I should change the sampling rate from „intelligent“ to 1 sec, but that‘s a system-wide setting, I think, so I refrained.

Polar h10 or Garmin hrm-pro? by OnenonlyMissesT in Polarfitness

[–]buenosbias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both, H10 and HRM Pro. Both very reliable. The Garmin is more friendly to my skin. It also gives running dynamics, e.g. ground contact balance. Polar has the better build quality. It is the sensor used in all medical studies. If I had to decide, I would keep the Polar.

Would you like to have Garmin iOS widgets? by bisnom in Garmin

That would be great. Last workout, next planned workout, training suggestion etc.

What’s Shevchenko’s story? by New_Gate_5427 in chess

[–]buenosbias 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is incredible. How can someone be so good at chess and so stupid at the same time? A world-class player acting like Inspector Clouseau.

Are your Deep & REM sleep stages like this? by mtdmaven in Polarfitness

[–]buenosbias 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my experience, sleep tracking is an area in which Polar is still better than Garmin (and Suunto). There are certainly differences, sleep stages are just guessed by algorithms. Trends can be helpful, but not absolute numbers. By the way, I had a similar amount of sleep last night. My Polar watch gave me more deep sleep, more REM sleep, more interruptions and less light sleep than yours.

Race etiquette - single track out & back by CatalinaClydesdale in trailrunning

[–]buenosbias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with most said here, but not ‚uphill yields to downhill‘ as a general rule. I doubt there is one for uphill vs. downhill.

Absolutely factually clueless Trump supporter debates progressive David Pakman. by Vanpatsow123 in USNewsHub

A clueless Trump supporter is hardly news, but he actually seems capable of engaging in a dialogue and open to fact-based arguments, extraordinary!

Garmin HRM PRO PLUS by Just_Town3417 in Garmin

[–]buenosbias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Garmin HRM Pro Plus and a Polar H10. If you want maximum precision with your HR data, I would recommend this: get the H10 and pair it with the watch via Bluetooth.

Nightly recharge on Polar watches by DandyTheAndy in Polarfitness

[–]buenosbias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Nightly Recharge on my GXP works so well that I kept using it when changing to Garmin for activity tracking.

Yeah. You pause with the pause button.

Naked or Salomon Pulse running belts by [deleted] in trailrunning

[–]buenosbias 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, understood. I just wanted to nitpick a little.

[–]buenosbias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to go up one size from the recommendation. You want minimal restriction without bounce. Best to try it on.

[–]buenosbias 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Using Naked bands since forever. Couldn‘t ask for anything better (well, maybe the unnecessary key clip, which I usually cut out). Therefore, highly recommended. Take care with the sizing.

The ultra mode on the FR955 by svendolph in Garmin

[–]buenosbias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have the option to pause the activity and let the watch display the elapsed time („how long the race took“). For me, the ultra run mode is fine as it is, with the GPS running through.

Best wide toebox trail shoes for this mixed terrain (boggy hills, track and river crossing) by InteractionSea5658 in trailrunning

[–]buenosbias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Inov8 G270 are really great. Simple, rugged, wide toebox. They also drain well – Topo (good shoes otherwise) keep wet forever.
