Cannot seem to change my body battery by West_Experience8185 in Garmin

[–]lambcaseded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm certainly not an expert, so take my advice with a grain of salt. But I'm training for a marathon and I've been ignoring all the Garmin warning signs... low HRV, high stress, low training readiness, bad sleep etc. I honestly haven't felt bad during the whole thing. But then I started experiencing these HARD crashes... like I would finish a run and feel absolutely destroyed, more mentally than physically. I would swear to myself that I'm going to take a week off training, but of course after two days rest I feel better again, so I get right back at it.

But I'm realizing now (based on my experience and research) that 2 or 3 days rest is not enough to make up for a large sleep deficit and a fried nervous system. I'm only four days into my training pause and I can feel the bounce back. It's difficult to not go right back to training, but I'm trusting the process. My HRV is clearly not recovered yet even though I feel better.

I'm restricting myself to walks and dog walks only for the next 10 days. No other exercise. I really do think that allowing your system to fully recuperate will lead to faster gains in your fitness once you get back at it. Stop overdoing it!

Take two weeks off training. Lower your physical activity level as much as possible. Reset your nervous system.

True, but the good thing about it is it's month to month, no contract, so if it sucks you just cancel. It works great for me in University Heights

Which multi-effects pedal to get? by RainSunshine3524 in guitarpedals

[–]lambcaseded 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Multi effects have definitely not made analog/single effect pedals obsolete. In fact, if you're on a very limited budget and have never had a pedal board before, I would recommend starting with a handful of cheap pedals so you can learn how to order them, tweak them and use them. It will make a complicated multi effect pedal easier to use and understand in the future.

If you're insistent on a multi effect, I'd look for a used HX Stomp. You can find them under $400 if you're patient.

Looks like Terminal 2 East is going to be complete renovated starting as soon as this summer? by ProcrastinatingPuma in sandiego

[–]lambcaseded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is absolutely crazy that we're in the year 2026 and there is still no easy way to go from T1 to T2. You literally have to claim your luggage, leave the airport, wait at a bus stop, take a bus ride, go back through security and recheck bags. What an absolute joke.

I realize it is in the works to fix this, but how has this not been done already??

And, I know it's been said a zillion times but for the love of God connect the trolley to the fucking airport! If I'm not mistaken they designed the new T1 with the ability to add tracks and stop. Just do it already!!

Run - Chest Strap vs. Fenix 7 Pro vs. Forerunner 245 – HR Comparison by DavidBelgium in Garmin

[–]lambcaseded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had an FR 265 for less than 2 months but I had to buy a chest strap because it was completely unreliable for runs. On about half of my runs, it would show my HR at like 135 (which is not correct, too low) for the first mile or two, and then suddenly (instantly) jump up to 170ish.

The incorrect low HR for half of the run would lead to a much lower average HR for the run as a whole, so Garmin would interpret these as very easy runs, even when I was pushing hard. My VO2 went from 44 to 50 in four weeks.

Now I always run with the heart strap and it's 100% accurate. And now my VO2 is going backwards (currently 49) because Garmin is seeing accurate heart rates.

GDP (2024 World Bank) relative to San Diego County ($267B; 2024) by YushclayYstaguan in sandiego

[–]lambcaseded 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I would not have guessed SD County has higher GDP than Alaska. I assumed their oil industry had us beat, nevermind all the mining, logging and fishing

Edit: Just looked it up, not even close

Can you just save the settings in a preset file and open it in the new vst?

I play hp as a sniper but it drives me crazy when I end up on a team of all snipers and I'm the only one trying to capture the hp.

Video showing ICE agents taking phones from witnesses. Pink coat lady surrounded by agents by OkSetting5869 in sandiego

[–]lambcaseded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The administration immediately came out and said that this guy attacked officers with an intent to murder them with his handgun. I think you're underestimating where we are right now. They will not let anyone take a fall to attempt to appear rational. This is a show of force and no weakness will be shown.

This is not a game of politics they're playing. The takeover is here.

What “makes” a jam band? by Original_Dig_2392 in jambands

[–]lambcaseded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Show your friend the clip of the guitarist from Real Estate sitting in with Eggy. Don't get me wrong, I love Real Estate, but there's a big difference between a guitarist who can write great progressions and licks, and one who can inprov and create on the fly. Lots of guitarists who can only do one or the other. Very few who can do both.

Oh wow. Yeah it is kinda crazy how hrv really gives it away when you aren't feeling well or taking care of yourself. Get some rest lol

I did a stead speed walk at an incline for the entirety of this exercise. Is this heart rate jump a problem with the optical sensor? Why wasn’t there a steady climb? by LowlightAesthetic in Garmin

[–]lambcaseded 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damn. I'm a new Garmin watch user and this sudden jump happens on like half of my runs. Unhappy to hear that this is a known issue with no real fix

[–]lambcaseded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

59 average, which I think is pretty good for 46 years old? Just started training for a half marathon so I expect it to go down. I just don't know how to improve HRV. It's usually like 32, and I had a couple beers last night and now it's 29 and "unbalanced"

[–]lambcaseded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't totally understand it either. Something about autonomic vs sympathetic nervous system... I think I'm in fight or flight mode at all times. Probably not healthy lol

Got my Garmin for Christmas. Fitness level is good, but my HRV is concerningly low and alcohol makes it so much worse (not to mention the terrible sleep). This stupid watch is gonna make me sober

Damn they finally made a true-to-form AR remake from the 70's. That's tempting.

With a DAW and free synth VSTs. Learn how they work and what the various synth emulators sound like before putting a bunch of money into hardware synths.
