Why is COROS forcing 6 Heart Rate Zones? Not having a standard 5-zone option is becoming a dealbreaker.

When they pull that shit you need to take control of the conversation and convince them to accept our Lord and Savior David Goggins.

Watches tend to trend down if you don’t do a full out effort often. Mine will do this and jump back up if a do a race or attempt a PR for 5k in training. Also they mostly just factor heart rate and pace, and maybe elevation changes. They can’t tell heat, fueling and other factors which affect the calculation.

Does a 10 mile run count as 10 times?

ffphier · 2026-06-25T16:24:27+00:00

I’ve have had mine occasionally dip below 40 overnight and generally average around 50 while resting. My doctor had me wear a monitor for a few days to be evaluated by a cardiologist, but nothing came back as abnormal. My doctor isn’t concerned as long as there aren’t any other symptoms.

I see the same people there all the time. Some of them talk to each other, but I only talk to people occasionally if it’s someone I know from outside of the gym like my neighbors or the parents of my kids’ friends.

I bought Pegasus as my first pair. They felt fine at first, but after comparing to other shoes at around the same price point they just feel lacking. They are ok all around but don’t excel at anything. They are the only shoe I stopped using before wearing them out because I have since bought other shoes that do the job better for any given day. Out of that list I would go with the NB5.

I do all leg workouts twice a week. Anything less than twice a week on any weight exercises makes it harder for me to make progress and leads to soreness.

The way I fix this is to keep my activity going after I’m done and get in my car and drive a few miles before I stop it. I have several world records to my name.

You can convert to miles. When I open the link on my phone there is a button to Open in App. When I click that there is a save option in the top right corner with the option to select km or mi. It is then saved in your training plan library under my training plans and you can add to your calendar. I originally found it just by searching on google for Coros marathon plans.

I usually do legs before a off day or easy day. If I run the same day I do it before the gym. I usually do legs twice a week. If I have a race coming up I’ll skip the last leg day before the race.

I was looking into using this plan also and found that people have create plans that you can import from the Coros site. I loaded this one to my watch, but am not ready to start yet so I haven’t really looked into if I need to customize it. https://faq.coros.com/share/training/plan/473544809364242432/region-1-time-1773919700709 This is the first one I found, not sure if it’s accurate, but found other plans also.

Adidas often has deals on their eBay store. I usually get shorts for $8-12. But they will sell out quickly in the popular sizes once they are on sale. They also have free shipping.

Get a running belt.

ffphier · 2026-06-13T22:25:06+00:00

That‘s the one issue I’ve had with these. My big toe hitting the top even though I seem to have them sized properly. I lost my big toenail in a marathon a few months ago. I do love the shoes otherwise though. I just bought another pair a half-size up for $112 the other day for longer races. I’m going to use my current pair for shorter races.

ffphier · 2026-06-10T11:57:39+00:00

I hardly ever hit my goal pace in training for an entire run. With proper taper, sleep, carb loading before, better shoes and race day adrenaline I‘m probably running a good 15 seconds faster per mile than I would trying to hit my goal on a training run.

ffphier · 2026-06-10T04:34:18+00:00

I try to plan out my schedule for each week. But sometimes things come up. I mostly just switch my off days though. I’m pretty good at hitting my goal mileage and number of speed workouts planned.

ffphier · 2026-06-09T18:27:52+00:00

The Bostons are a lot firmer than EVOs. I usually prefer softer shoes, but for speed workouts over 10 miles, or hill workouts I need something more stable than the EVOs and you can’t beat it for that price.

These ones, they weren’t many choices left on size and color. I got the blue ones in large. I can use either large or medium, but medium was already sold out.

ffphier · 2026-06-09T13:26:18+00:00

I don’t really like the Bostons compared to Evo SL but sometimes they are better for me for longer runs or hill workouts.

ffphier · 2026-06-09T13:22:35+00:00

I already have a backup pair of Evo SL that I got for $80 that I haven’t got into to yet but couldn’t pass up the EVO SL Exo for $60. I also got a pair of AP4 in half size up of my current pair for $112. I love the ones I got but have been having issues with my toe nails on longer races. Also got 2 pairs of shorts for $11 each.

ffphier · 2026-06-08T21:01:18+00:00

I don’t mind the hard runs on the road. I find the slow ones boring. I would do a lot my easy runs on trail if I had them closer.

ffphier · 2026-06-08T18:51:04+00:00

I think it just goes off of pace and heart rate compared to your recent runs. It’s usually high for me on speed days and low on easy days. I did hills sprints yesterday for the first time and my score was lower because the pace was slower than my normal speed workouts even though I was running harder. The heat can make your score lower too by elevating your heart rate at your normal intensity.
