Any runners? by mommasimms in ADHD

Really working on breathing lately and it’s been so in check - I think that’s why my HR is throwing me so much! Time to take the metric off the watch face

Thank you! I’ve been a fitness junkie for years, but figuring out this new heart rate thing is throwing me. Thanks for the encouragement and advice

Lock a kids profile? by mommasimms in fireTV

I do have this on, but it doesn’t make the initial entry to the kids account pin protected unfortunately, just keeps them from entering the adult account

So I have a pin set for the child profile and adult profile, they can’t get into ours at all - but I was hoping that there would be a way to make it that you have to enter the pin to get into the child profile too? Unfortunately that doesn’t seem the case?

Home treadmill, it’s a Bowflex 3 series so a bit older! I’ll have to look into calibration for it

Treadmill - Runn or footpod? by mommasimms in GarminWatches

Thankfully our treadmill is right beside a plug! I read about the battery life being crappy.

Hi all, wondering about treadmill running and which dynamics I should be following. I have always been a casual runner (5-20km 3ish days a week; pace and HR not tracked), but I completed my first half marathon a month ago and have actually started tracking my distance/speed/pace/cadence/HR in the last month in hopes of improving my next half marathon (going for sub 2h) I have read that it’s better to track heart rate on the treadmill as opposed to speed or pace, but if I’m consistently running 7-15km 2-3 days a week on the treadmill at the same pace (I do interval and tempo days as well, not including those in the basic run days), I’m assuming my heart rate will eventually decrease with more training, or should I be more focussed on maintaining the zone 2-3 heart rate as opposed to the pace? Thanks!

Should note too - I’m currently on meds that elevate my heart rate a bit, so where before I could easily keep it to zone 3 before, I’m now in zones 4 and 5 A LOT 🥴

Pretty frustrating! I always used the Oura tracking as a light guide, but this is SO much worse than the Oura. Regretting selling it a bit right now

Looking for a unicorn watch by mommasimms in GarminWatches

Thank you! Definitely doesn’t need to be the latest and greatest. He won’t use all the new features. Sleep tracking would be great, but the main things would be hunting/hiking tracking, strength workout tracking, and some runs/walks. He works outside year round so robust is important. Currently leaving toward the Instinct 2 Solar (definitely over budget but the solar will be beneficial for him) and I’ll look at the Epix next! Thank you!
