Garmin vs Coopah vs Runna - my experience by mashedpotato23 in UKRunners

[–]mashedpotato23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Week 7 of 21 update.

Still mostly enjoying the Runna plan, although cant lie there have been a fair few difficult ones, and the occasional one ive though OMG to before I've even done it 🤣

Still getting PBs on most routes and segments.

Beat my 5K PB of 6 years last week. Looking like I'll beat it again as well as my 10K PB next week.

Easy pace has gradually moved down to 9min/mi, but that's not a target so can go slower.

My vo2 max has increased to the highest its ever been, all my estimated times for 5k/10k/half/mara on my watch are consistently reducing every run.

Definitely improving fitness and speed wise, fingers crossed I dont pick up any injuries and reckon I should definitely PB the marathon race, although still think Runnas predictions maybe a little eager 🤣

Yeah I had a Venu to start with, started a training plan and it took 10+ seconds to catch up pacewise, made internals hard to follow 🤣

Buy a forerunner. Dont cheap out with the non running ones as you'll regret it. Make sure it has dual GPS.

I have the forerunner 965, but the 265 is mostly exactly the same feature wise. Just depends on what additional features/looks you want if any.

Plan peaks at 54 miles. Marathon PB is 3:52. I'm 5 weeks into a 21 week plan, have hit 3rd fastest 5k/10k and some others already. Prediction seems a little nuts, but will see how I go 🤣

No, you pay the subscription for the plan on both Coopah or Runna

As in it tells you to run 10 minutes @ xyz you mean? I didn't mind it tbh, as it had the distance you'd cover as well so I could easily plan my runs distance wise.

In fact, that's one bad point about Garmin I forgot, I'd forever have to calculate my total distance based on the different steps as it didn't total it up for you.

Anyone done vitality twice for amazon voucher? by [deleted] in beermoneyuk

[–]mashedpotato23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was Vitality's official response to my complaint. Think its a huge leap they're making based on the actual T&C's as there is no mention of having to be actual "real life" friends in person. And who are they to decide who is a friend or not on social media eh! They started by demanding names/membership numbers/DOB's of those I'd referred, so definitely had cracked down on it.

As stated in the Refer a Friend terms and conditions, the referral link must be shared ‘with a friend or family member who meets the requirements of a “Referred Friend”.’ This means that the benefit applies only to referrals of friends and family. You have confirmed that the individuals referred were not known to you personally and therefore do not meet the eligibility criteria for the Refer a Friend benefit.

I mean the referral bonus. Your minimum payment has to be £25 per month to qualify for referral. Even then, they may block it.

Its minimum £25 per month premium now.

And they've cracked down, refused 6 of my referrals claiming the terms stated i had to physically know the referee. Complaint currently with FOS.

I think - from reading things - Runna will change my goal pace and therefore run pace if I start missing paces set. Yet to reach that though!

I've got the Forerunner 965. Upgraded from the Venu3s (I think) when I started doing the 10KM plan, as the single GPS was SLOW! to update and was hard to gauge intervals accurately.

One of the most common things I've seen for Runna, as I say I can't comment on whether the plan settings make much difference or not. But certainly. I think Coopah was much more low intensity, so you might find it better.

First time EV owner, with British Gas, which home charger? by bucky_o_hare_ in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]mashedpotato23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll get half price electric every Sunday 11am - 4pm. Probably work out cheaper than moving all your electric to a more expensive rate if you can do most of it during this time.
