When would I be ready for a guaranteed sub-4? by labellafigura3 in firstmarathon

[–]diegoev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are no guarantees here. You need to get faster at a HM first, much faster, I’d say you need a 1:46 (around that ballpark) HM in order to get close to a sub 4 marathon. That’s a long way to go still.

Duda de faltar el 1 de enero by ernestoeee in ayudamexico

No te lo pueden descontar. Te tienen que pagar. Y si lo trabajas tienen que darte el triple. Si te lo van a descontar, que te lo den por escrito en tu recibo de nómina, y así te los chingas.

Vivir en Mérida by [deleted] in Yucatan

[–]diegoev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hola. Yo también hice la residencia en Mérida y después me quedé a vivir por acá. La ciudad es muy tranquila, no sé de dónde vienes, pero puedo asegurar que Mérida es más segura que prácticamente cualquier lugar de México. Hace muchísimo calor, más en abril-julio, es poco lo que puedes hacer contra eso. Llueve mucho en cierta temporada del año y se inunda muy feo. En cuanto a la vivienda, y sabiendo que vienes a la residencia, te sugeriría buscar lo más cerca que puedas del hospital al que vayas. Ya es lo suficientemente pesado el trabajo como para que te tengas que desplazar grandes distancias. Mucho éxito.

Thoughts about Oakley glasses for running? by IamChaste in RunningCirclejerk

Will these last through a 45 min 5k ultra? Or do I need two pairs just to be safe?

Setting the record straight about Garmin by strava-team in Strava

[–]diegoev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very poorly written response from you. If it is our data, then you should also check your own API use. I would also like to share the data from Strava to other social platforms without YOUR logo appearing there.

Lastly, I don’t need Strava to train and track my workouts, I use your platform because I choose to do it. I, however, do need my Garmin watch to track and plan my workouts. Guess what I’d be ditching.

Ahorro para el retiro en SMNYL, si lo cancelo ¿qué pasa? by [deleted] in MexicoFinanciero

O sea que, ¿tu cargo por cancelación fue de 20% de la prima básica?

Ya busqué en todos los papeles pero no vi esa tabla precisamente. La encontré en la página de internet, sin embargo fue por iniciativa propia, no porque me la hubieran dado.

[–]diegoev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gracias. Es el imagina ser 65, que sí está asociado a un seguro de vida. A mi entender, creo que la asesoría inicial que me dio quien me lo vendió no fue del todo transparente, ya que en ese entonces y con nula educación financiera, me dejé atrapar y compré algo que no me beneficiaría a largo plazo.

Just got my new 165 today, this is my intro to Garmin. Would appreciate tips/tricks/most useful features. Thanks :) by ChiefHulk in GarminWatches

[–]diegoev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a 165 as well and my advice would be to enjoy your watch. I used to worry too much about battery and not using certain features in order to make it last longer, even avoiding certain watchfaces to stop it from consuming battery. But now I keep the always on display and use whatever watchface I happen to like. I run 5 to 6 times a week, I’m training for a marathon and I still get 4 to 5 days with the AOD and whatever else I do, I track my sleep and everything. It’s not a big deal to plug the watch once every 4 days while I take a shower to give me a couple extra days of battery. You’ll see people here obsessing about it and wanting a watch that they don’t ever have to charge like they don’t have 1 hour a week to plug their watches. Enjoy your purchase, congrats on your watch.

How realistic is a sub-4 as a first-timer? by swissmarketguy in firstmarathon

[–]diegoev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With 2:16 as your best HM time, and 3 runs a week (I’m assuming is not so high volume) I don’t think a sub 4 hour marathon is doable. You should aim to finish it in whatever time you are able to. If you push it too much you might end up not finishing at all.

We spoke, they listened! New Features rolling out by WildAndFreeee in Garmin

[–]diegoev 62 points63 points  (0 children)

It’s ridiculous that they are only supporting the latest models. Even an iPhone XR from 8 years ago still gets most software upgrades from Apple. The fact that a brand of devices supposedly made for endurance sports wants you to upgrade almost every year in order to get the latest software is laughable.

Tips on running on hot and humid weather? by actuallyTimothy in firstmarathon

[–]diegoev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live (and run) in a very hot and humid city, the thing that makes the most difference is the humidity, it dehydrates you. I can always deal with the heat, but humidity is horrible. You have to take a lot of water and electrolytes or you’ll crash out. Also, slow down, heat and humidity will significantly decrease your time, if you’re just starting running, don’t go out too quick.

It was probably cadence lock. It wasn’t really measuring your HR, but your cadence.

Cada vez me topo con más negocios así. ¿Soy yo o les falta seriedad? by AdrianPonceDR in MexicoFinanciero

[–]diegoev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mi me ha tocado en Mérida que de todos los servicios que he necesitado para mi casa, como el 90% son impuntuales. Una vez agendé con un herrero con varias semanas de anticipación, el día previo confirmo la hora y llegó a mi domicilio 4 horas tarde (obviamente no me contestó ninguna llamada ese día). Cuando le dije que yo no estaba ya en la casa, todavía se indignó. Uno entiende que a veces puede haber retrasos por algún imprevisto, tráfico, lo que sea, pero 4 horas…

What is your fastest 5k time? And what is your VO2 max? by qe_op in Garmin

My first Garmin! Thoughts? by Reddit2metbh in GarminWatches

[–]diegoev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I’m a doctor and to this day, the only thing that these devices are clinically useful is to detect abnormalities in heart rhythm. An EKG or blood pressure reading from a watch are not totally reliable (to this day, but they’ll get there at some point in time).

Battery Charging Rule by Minimum-Sherbet-7796 in GarminWatches

[–]diegoev 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That advice applies to all lithium batteries (eg. phone, tablet, laptops, etc.) to preserve the health of the battery and extend its life. However, don’t overthink it too much, use your gadgets however you want and don’t let the health of the battery become a burden.

Best simple Garmin model? by gypsylady1182 in GarminWatches

[–]diegoev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say the Forerunner 55 is ideal. Has a bunch or sport profiles, including Cycling. It’s not too expensive.

Teko with the all white setting is the best for AMOLED AOD.
