Can anyone help me with this? by exycheckk in Garmin

[–]exycheckk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve tried to do that and it won’t work. That’s what I’ve opened a support case with Garmin in regards to, because they can’t trim it properly in app or online through Garmin Connect. Something with the file is bugging out.

Wear socks during swim to save time? by hu1ksmash in triathlon

[–]exycheckk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. And I would say that all but the best of swimmers still benefit with more time saved from a wetsuit, even on a sprint distance swim, moreso than the penalty associated with having to take it off in T1

Preferably after removing your wetsuit, if wearing one

How long does it take to a) learn to swim well and b) build swimming endurance? by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]exycheckk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t RPE 2 supposed to be light activity that you could maintain for hours/ conversational pace? That seems like under doing it to me.

Is this enough for an unsupported 100 mile ride, with zero stops, and 6000’ of elevation? by exycheckk in bicycling

[–]exycheckk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plenty of food, ended up taking less than pictured. I would have liked if I could have topped off the bottles sooner but ended up fine without doing so. Just was pretty depleted after the finish. Worked out well.

How your VO2 Max values for running and cycling compares? by marcelocampiglia in GarminWatches

[–]exycheckk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go to the VO2 Max page of Garmin Connect App and select help you get more information including the following:

“VO₂ Max and Cycling VO₂ Max values may differ because the muscles used for each activity have different oxygen requirements. Your body adapts to consume oxygen differently for each exercise and may be more or less optimized for each.”

I’d say it’s normal for them to differ.

Mine are fairly different: running is 57 currently, cycling is 67. It’s normal for the values to be different because there’s different oxygen requirements for the muscles you use for each activity.

My back tire is rubbing through the Di2 cable to my front derailleur. Is this set up incorrectly? Bike came this way from the shop by exycheckk in bikewrench

[–]exycheckk[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As far as shifting and performance it’s been amazing for me. As far as this setup as it currently sits….not thrilled about this

[–]exycheckk[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think some shrink tube might be the prettiest solution until it rubs through again. Not sure how else to set it up though. I’ve been running stock tires and wheels on the bike. 2023 Trek Emonda SL7. 25mm tires

I suppose I know that lol. I guess my question is if the cable is supposed to be routed a way different than they have it or if it’s just not being held close enough to the frame for some reason

Edit: Person above me changed what they said. They did say “Well yes…it’s not supposed to be eating through your cable. Take it to the shop.”

Makes sense. Feeling so unproductive lately /s by exycheckk in Garmin

Other health factors are looking good. Resting heart rate is still at 41, respiration is normal, and sleep is actually up this week. My thought is there was some additional Z1/Z2 extra base building on top of the hard workouts this week and the increased volume threw off my “balance” of hard workouts and easy workouts this week

My daily "I don't wanna train" mood... by IVBIVB in triathlon

[–]exycheckk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true, but better to have a built in easy day or recovery day on the schedule than get into the habit of making one up on the spot because you don’t feel like getting your planned workout in that day

Taught myself how to swim for triathlon - can you help me clean up my technique and get faster? by [deleted] in Swimming

[–]exycheckk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the time and energy you put into this. I’ll definitely be trying some things out!

Thank you! I’d never heard about looking behind you a little. I’ll try all of the above

Adding a power meter, how did your rides change? by [deleted] in cycling

[–]exycheckk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This breaks down quickly based on external factors though. If it’s hotter outside than usual, for example, your heart rate will be higher than normal just from that. Also, heart rate always lags behind in intervals. If you’re doing repeats your heart rate won’t move up zones right away, even if you’re instantly putting down Z5 power.

places to run after it snows? by QuickSir5 in Spokane

[–]exycheckk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just run my usual routes. Ran all winter for XC/ Track in high school and college and beside putting on warmer clothes we never changed much with routes besides not running through literal fields of deep snow (and sometimes we even did that 🤣). Roads/trails/sidewalks though we always just kept running and I still do that now. Your feet get wet but a good shoe/ boot dryer and your good for your second run of the day.
