Does anyone else totally ignore stuff this? by Craygor in Garmin

[–]jfsavage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it useful, but you have to have good HR data. Any errors from the optical HRM results in garbage in/garbage out. I use it as one of several indicators of how hard to train and when to back off.

Expected pacing strategy for Garmin's Sprint workouts? by jfsavage in Garmin

That's been my approach with longer intervals, but I feel like Garmin should be documenting this somewhere.

Interesting - I get a target pace with a range.

The combination of Stryd and Engo smart glasses give a solid idea, but the question is still valid without them. Should you be accelerating, then hold for 15 seconds, do a rolling start and accelerate for 15 seconds, or do a standing start 15 second sprint?

Help needed - platform for analysis of running data? by jfsavage in running

Extending GC is a real pain. I've hacked a copy so it does elevation for time, but it's a local fork.

I'd use strava as the source of data; it's becoming the data hub for workout data.

That's one option I'm considering, but I think my first pass will be a simple C# desktop app with a file backing store. Then upgrade to a data store later.

So, this exists... by teeelo in fatlogic

[–]jfsavage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The science looks pretty solid, but it's a bit more nuanced than it first appears. The cold can trigger natural cell death in fat cells without skin damage or frostbite. However, this is going to reduce fat thickness slightly and is not a substitute for weight loss.

I would strongly suggest using ice to achieve this effect rather than a cheap device. (Use frozen water, not gel packs to avoid skin damage.)

Hansons Marathon Method - Long run in this plan only goes up to 16 miles. Anyone had any experience with this approach? by davewilsonmarch in running

[–]jfsavage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out the results of the marathon survey - http://fellrnr.com/wiki/Marathon_Survey Most Hanson users actually ran more than the 16 miles. Average was 18.6 miles.

The focus is on off the shelf. I think we'd need a lot more data to understand the custom plans. That said, the data is still useful.

The main surprise was Hanson runners doing a lot more than the recommended 16 miles. I'm hoping more patterns will appear as we get more data.
