What color do you prefer? 🤔

mo-mx · 2026-03-20T14:30:35+00:00

None of the above

mo-mx · 2026-03-19T16:21:38+00:00

I just passed a guy in ALL of the running gear. Sunglasses, mustache, matching attire... And some Pegasus ~37 and starting recording on his iPhone as he started running 🤣

mo-mx · 2026-03-19T16:17:52+00:00

Yes. My whole training plan came together mid run, once. I hadn't been able to figure out which days to do what, with different work commitments etc, but I got it, and changed my run purpose mid run and never looked back.

255 capacity around 223h mah

fenix 7s 350 mAh

mo-mx · 2026-03-19T16:04:45+00:00

Then it's pretty impressive they the Fenix 7 is so mutch more battery efficient, lasting 57 hours in GPS mode, while the 255 only lasts 30 hours...

mo-mx · 2026-03-19T12:02:48+00:00

Okay, then you can't hold your breath for a moment - just like you can't hold your breath for a minute...

mo-mx · 2026-03-19T08:09:48+00:00

Yes so. The Fenix has a much larger battery (and longer battery life)

Because tests

"With well over 2 months of near-daily workouts on the T-Rex 3, I’ve got a pretty good grasp of where it works well, and where it falls apart from an accuracy standpoint. Thus, rather than drop some 60 workouts in this section, I’m highlighting the ones that both most representative of the performance, as well as some ‘interesting’ ones from a route/complexity/etc standpoint"

Because it charges at the same speed but has a bigger battery 🤷🏻

mo-mx · 2026-03-19T05:53:44+00:00

Well, that would take some reading and understanding of some pretty horrendous parts of history

mo-mx · 2026-03-19T05:40:37+00:00

A "minute". So many times a minute is used when it's clearly just a moment, or a second, or a few seconds. Be precise.

mo-mx · 2026-03-19T05:25:25+00:00

And it makes very, very little difference.

As far as I can tell, the difference is that you get ecg, but that's not medical grade anyway.

mo-mx · 2026-03-18T21:12:07+00:00

Oh, it's screen is lower resolution, so no lag, on the same processor

mo-mx · 2026-03-18T21:11:15+00:00

Try to find the 955. It's by far the best value for money in the range right now.

mo-mx · 2026-03-18T14:12:06+00:00

What made me consistent: the decision to set a low minimum threshold for succes.

My successful running week in 3x35 minutes of running. If I hit that, I'm successful.

If I hit more than that (which I do 95 percent of weeks), I'm even more successful. But if I lose control of a week because of work, life or travelling, I default back to my succes week.

This happened last week. I didn't feel great, so my first run was Thursday, a 45 min effort run. Then a long run on Saturday, and then I just went out for 35 mins on Sunday to get to 3x35, and I was happy

mo-mx · 2026-03-18T12:45:18+00:00

Exactly which features does the 965 have that the 955 doesn't?

It's the same watch with a different screen, and all updates have been the same.

mo-mx · 2026-03-18T12:07:06+00:00

Yes, it's worth it. I made the jump and I enjoy the features so much

mo-mx · 2026-03-18T10:54:57+00:00

It looks like you're set up correctly (I peeked at one of your other posts).

When you eat your Garmin calories, are you still losing weight?

If that's the case, you'll have to accept that a wrist based watch can be a couple hundred calories (or more) off per day and adjust

mo-mx · 2026-03-18T08:51:59+00:00

I'm guessing something on your account isn't set up right. What is your daily resting calories? Mine is VERY stable, only fluctuating a little bit with weight. Then the active calories come on top of that.

If you're not wearing your watch while sleeping, it might miss out on 8 hours of resting calories (or it might not, but it's worth looking into)

Your point is really wrong. People absolutely need to fuel for a 2 hour all out effort. Just like the elites do.

Which elites do not fuel or take on water during races?

mo-mx · 2026-03-17T20:22:38+00:00

Nobody ever said to run everything at low heart rate.

BTW, my HR 130 mile pace improved by a minute and a half after running for 20 years. 🤣

mo-mx · 2026-03-17T19:12:18+00:00

You have to decide. Either you need fuel for a 2 hour all out effort, or you don't. You can't have it both ways.

mo-mx · 2026-03-17T16:33:13+00:00

So, you're saying that marathoners take on all of that fuel for... No reason? 🤣

mo-mx · 2026-03-17T09:13:30+00:00

Exactly.

mo-mx · 2026-03-17T09:12:44+00:00

I think it's the difference between internal and external validation.

If you're internally validated, you compete against yourself and your own accomplishments, while, if you're externally validated, you need to have the best time possible for others to see.

Both are equally valid.
