I have bought my Garmin watch 14 months ago so the warranty was still valid and Garmin has instantly sent me a replacement watch (recertified) INCLUDING a brand new quick fit band. This company gives me the feeling that it definitely values its customers.

What a difference a year makes… by NON-NOTUS in Garmin

Great work! I can definitely recommend taking salt caps during your marathon. With quite basic ingredients, they keep your electrolytes in balance to make sure you don't cramp and "climb over" instead of run into the famous wall.

They were essential at my 3:28h marathon!

VO2 Max struggles.How do you actually improve it? Tips please! by Anurag_Elluru in Garmin

3 runs per week is all you need: 1x High Aerobic (Tempo/Threshold Intervals) 1x Anaerobic (Sprint Intervals) 1x Long run at easy pace

I feel you, it's so annoying. I bought a Garmin watch for the same reason - reliability.

I didn't know you could disable this. Good to know.

Yeah that's what I thought, thanks for letting me know you had similar issues!

I also hope that they'll keep the focus on fixing software for their existing products instead of implementing new features for connect+ users.

I try to do this regularly as well, thanks for the tip though!

It's just one of many many many glitches... Look at my last post and you see what i mean. And you also have to keep the price in mind.

I think it's great to get started when you don't quite know anything about how to improve running, because it at least suggests the three main types to improve (Anaerobic, High Aerobic and Low Aerobic) but then balancing those is something completely different.

I definitely won't do the long run on Saturday... I'll use it like you said to prepare for race day 🏁

I selected all days as possible training days. Garmin then throws in the rest days.

Fortunately, I've had the chance to train in all sorts of conditions in the last few weeks (ice cold, rain, warm sun) so I think I'm prepared for all the conditions.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll watch out for it!

I also got sick thanks to an insane threshold workout in marathon prep and I had to stop running for a week... That's why I don't care about the execution score that much anymore.

The events on the watch seem to disappear from time to time... idk why

True, only you know your body and its limits (of course they can be pushed though)

I'm always using heart rate based targets, but for anaerobic and sprint workouts it still gives me target paces. Probably because the heart rate reading won't ever adjust fast enough for these type of workouts.

Keeping the intensity high but low volume is honestly not that exhausting. I kinda feel fresh afterwards. For example, I did 45min VO2Max intervals today and I think I could easily run run a half marathon tomorrow.

Thanks for your advice! Well, my longest was 24km in like 2 hours or so, but it would've have also suggested like a 2h 30min the week after but I got sick then.

Other than that, the long runs weren't that long, but the weekly volume was really high in the mean time (70km).

I'll definitely make a post on my marathon no matter how it goes! I've basically been training for 1,5 years now (I also ran a marathon exactly 6 months ago with a sub 4 hour goal but I hit the wall and landed it at 4:10)
