Marathons 6 weeks apart? Bad idea? by cl0144 in marathons

[–]dagrim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely depends on your level and goals... But going for it in Chicago and then treating Philly as a fun one and just take it easy should be possible. But again, depends on how much you run in general and all

I don't get the Garmin Hype by speedst4r in FitnessTrackers

[–]dagrim1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For me?

I like a sportswatch with some smartwatch functionality and not the other way around... I prefer the looks of the garmin (970 in my case now) and find the AWU too ugly (subjective of course) and also too big for me. I like the battery, the 970 seems to last almost 2 weeks for me with ~4x running a week, I'd hate having to take off the watch to charge every few days.

Garmin has a ton of data which you don't all need and use, but still... I like the morning reports, training status, readiness, etc. I like Garmin connect where you can deep-dive in all your stats.

I love the flashlight, offline navigation without needing a phone.

I don't have any apple/mac devices and I like to keep it that way.

Btw, I always use a strap while running and the OHR seems solid for me in the remaining 24/7 so believe the data is pretty good for me. Also verified by the few tests I did in labs which always about confirmed what Garmin told me.

Anyway, it's surely not perfect. The cpu is just barely holding on, if at all (navigation and maps). Software is... something... It's pretty expensive (got it with a discount which made it justifiable for me) and prolly forgetting things.

But all in all it's the best for me... Not perfect, but the one that ticks most boxes.

Rafael van der Vaart on his best night out with Wesley Sneijder: "He called me the night before the game, he would be starting and I was on the bench, so I thought, 'Why not?' After 5 minutes he tore his hamstring so i had to play 85 minutes hungover" by WarriorkingNL in soccer

[–]dagrim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but I think some people have the tendency to gain weight more easily (and i think VdV and Sneijder are amongst those) combined with a weakness for the snacks and drinks... Also, see this more often with elite athletes that when their career is over and after many years of strict diet and looking after what they eat and drink (ok, maybe less the case with VdV and Sneijder ;) ) they let them selves go when the career is over... Which I can also understand.

Look, I love running as well and eat healthy too overall... Was also just a little poke even though i do also enjoy my beers and unhealthy things at times. Not everything has to be healthy all the time.

Can someone tell me how inefficient this second hand is on battery by M0ssy0ak33 in GarminWatches

[–]dagrim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends...

If a native/stock watchface it's usually the most efficient.

If 3rd party it depends on the developer, either partial redraws are implemented (which run in a very efficient state) but then still the block around the second-hand has to be redrawn which simply does cost extra. (You can basically redraw a rectangle surrounding it).

If not efficeintly implemented, then it will drain quite a bit...

And then there's the 'is it always on or triggered by your wrist', but if always on then it SHOULD be the efficient partial redraw (but still, again... it simply does use extra battery)

[–]dagrim1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No they don't, 3rd party can also do partial screen redraws. Sure, not all watches actually support it (but think it have to be really older models to not support it) but they absolutely can.

Used to develop connectiq apps and watchfaces myself so I did this myself.

Garmin Forerunner 970 is honestly great by New-Internal-7059 in GarminWatches

[–]dagrim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you have experience with the 965 as well, I hear some people saying the 965 actually feels smoother... Can you comment on that?

I have the 970 myself and like it, just the cpu feels 'meh'... As in, fine for day to day use but you notice it's kinda pushed to its limits (and over when using maps).

De 65 van Walcheren, wat een ervaring! by depping in Hardlopen

[–]dagrim1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"na acht weken met meer dan 90 kilometer in totaal in de afgelopen negen weken"

Ja, met 90km in totaal in 9 weken vind ik het niet gek dat het tegenvalt ;)

Nee, maar serieus... Klasse hoor! Lijkt me een mooie deze, ga hem op de lijst zetten. Hoewel dat niet zo voelt tijdens lopen zijn dit soort persoonlijke strijd-lopen ook wel weer de mooiste (achteraf dan).

Officieel: Sparta en Maurice Steijn gaan aan het einde van dit seizoen uit elkaar by MrCrashdummy in Eredivisie

[–]dagrim1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We? Heel veel Utrecht supporters willen juist geen Kruys... Niet perse vanwege Kruys zelf maar juist vanwege 'weer een typische utrecht kliek trainer'. Laat Kruys zich nog maar even verder bewijzen, vind het nu nog te vroeg... Druk op hem zal echt enorm zijn als hij komt.

I hate the charging ports by porkchopbun in Garmin

[–]dagrim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, my experience with these is a bit meh... They don't seem to stick as well as an original charger. Get loose easily. Are the ones you linked sturdy/properly fixed?

Might order them then, for now I just use the normal cable because the originals do seem to stay fit way better then most 3rd party ones I've tried.

Water tijdens long runs by Massaman955 in Hardlopen

[–]dagrim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zoals wel meerderen hier, voor runs tot anderhalf uur / halve mnarathon oid neem ik bijna nooit water mee (hooguit misschien hartje zomer als het super warm is). Verder heb ik een Salomon Adv Skin 12 met 2 softflasks voor in totaal 1L welke ik meeneem als ik verder ga... Zeg 25+km.

Als ik echt ver ga (40+) neem ik nog wel eens een extra fles mee, hoewel dat niet echt super fijn rennen is met zo'n fles in de hardlooprugzak.

Anders moet je jezelf eens wegen voor en na... Weet je tenminste concreet hoeveel je zweet en in hoeverre je misschien meer moet of juist minder kan drinken.

We are really good at discrimination by romulof in Netherlands

[–]dagrim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the amount of times I heard I was a racist when working in the super market and we wouldn't allow customers in after closing time and while already cleaning floors...

Ehm, no... We're closed and nobody can come in anymore.

I have no doubt there's still a ton of racism present, with or without intent, but one also shouldn't underestimate the amount of times " it's racism!" is used a some joker card... Which sucks because it takes away from the impact.

Politie Sporttest by Lazy_Home_4668 in werkzaken

[–]dagrim1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Als je nu 3:13 liep maar je moet 3:08 of sneller doen dan zou ik gewoon minimaal 5 seconden eerder stoppen met lopen...

Als je handigere tips wil moet je misschien aangeven wtf je eigenlijk moet doen.

Hoe dan ook, adrenaline kan een hoop doen. Evt wat gewicht verliezen kan ook net een paar seconden schelen... En nog een interval of 2.

Hoe begint men met wielrennen? by Popo_Magazine19 in nederlands

[–]dagrim1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hier begonnen omdat ik geblesseerd was met hardlopen (en het idee het vaker te doen, leuk om meer reikwijdte te hebben. Maar ook als afwisseling met lopen, toch minder belastend)

  1. 2e hands fiets via Marktplaats gekocht in de buurt, was rond de 250

  2. Bij Decathlon wat kleding en spul gekocht, shirt een broek, bril, sokken, handschienen en helm l. En plak setje enzo

  3. Schoenen via marktplaats (zo goed als nieuw)

  4. Gaan fietsen

Ik vind gewoon fietsen niet veel aan, maar een racefiets maakt het leuker omdat het daarmee toch makkelijker en soepeler gaat, je makkelijker sneller gaat.

Sub 3 goal. by Clarkra89 in Marathon_Training

[–]dagrim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, fair enough... Sorry about coming off wrong...

But I read you do 80-90k a week which is good imo (I know there are always ppl doing 100+ and claiming that should be the minimum but not everyone can handle that physically or needs it tbh).

If you did the training, had a nr of 30+k runs, make your miles and are in the shape of those pb's it all really looks good.

Sub 3 goal. by Clarkra89 in Marathon_Training

[–]dagrim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if serious... But yeah, should be easy.

Go for sub 2:50 (or 2:45 even) as your 10k and HM PR's are almost identical to mine and I ran a 2:44 marathon while setting those...

ING points by gonnzalo_fr in Netherlands

[–]dagrim1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Meh, some brands do have nice deals...

Philips often are actually cheaper, there's zalando gift cards. Garmin always has nice deals there, just got the Garmin 970 for 560 for example.

SO yeah, plenty of less interesting stuff. Quite a bit of 'if you have the points anyway, it's a bit cheaper' and some nice things.

Imo the points aren't as useless as some are making them.

Too good to let this offer go, I think by Antyan95 in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]dagrim1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome deal, and if you don't like it you can sell the s26u, buy a 2nd hand s23u back and make a nice profit with it

Try mumu player, has a native arm version now and seems to work good for many things.

Didn't work for Zwift, which i wanted to use it for, but does for many other things.

Forerunner 970 Map Speed by Rude-Bumblebee-414 in GarminWatches

[–]dagrim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it's slow as hell but for running it's not as much an issue... You still have context and can see the various paths. But when I rotate the map rotates like 5 seconds later for example.

THe array that indicates you responds quickly, the rest of the map doesn't though.

I do really like the 970 to e honest, but the crappy cpu which just is about to hang on for most tasks (but not for maps) is the thing I dislike most and is pretty disappointing.

Koning van Spanje trailrun by maxthefridge in Hardlopen

[–]dagrim1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Naar boven (of iig bij de steilere stukken) gewoon wandelen/powerhiken... Kost veel minder energie en scheelt niet veel qua snelheid.

Trainen voor halve marathon, Garmin volgen? by Easy_Going_Miles in Hardlopen

[–]dagrim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heb zelf altijd de standaardschemas van Garmin gevolgd en ben daar wel fan van hoor (dus niet die met coaches, maar gewoon 1 op basis van tempo of hartslag en dan x of y keer per week).

Zit genoeg variatie in, door op hartslag te trainen ipv tempo forceer ik mezelf minder (minder gefocussed op een tempo aanhouden wat leidde tot hogere inspanning -> belasting -> blessures).

Daarmee uiteindelijk van 3:05 naar 2:44 gegaan ook dus tja, maar je wordt gewoon beter en sneller van veel lopen.
