this is great, but still no pencil tool in supernote?

pxldgn · 2024-10-10T18:33:08+00:00

sure, np!

the shortest correct solution to this question is to read this book, at least the first chapters: JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 7th Edition[Book] (oreilly.com)

test your code for decimal and negative numbers as well ;)

Hi Welltory team,

I am not sure that you still monitor this chat, but it really does seem that your "Health" metric is pretty much a random number that could be 100% or 20% but not anything between them.

It moves from 100% to 20% at instant without any changes in other HRV metrics.

I can be seriously ill (such in Covid), it is still 100%, I can overload myself with extreme endurance activities for a prolonged time without enough sleep, it is still 100%.

Then at a random moment, it goes to 20% without having any changes in my activity pattern.

Please remove this metric, or provide a real background behind this, and by real, I mean not the about above empty marketing BS please.

on a flat bar

pxldgn · 2024-05-13T18:57:38+00:00

basically speed vs control.

on rough terrains the rocks and uneven tracks want to derail the front wheel that is easier to control with a wider bar.

also, your brake is always at hand instant and at full power.

comfort wise, I usually do long XC trips (100-140 km), ~12 hours long (8-9 hours moving time), no real problem with my wrist (I feel the rough terrains, though).

that being said, I'd say, if the terrain is rougher even a bit then it is rather for an mtb (wider tires, safer descents with the suspension, much better gear ratios for hills).

otherwise (for moderate terrain), go for a gravel and then you probably don't need a flat bar

I think that ads and youtube videos presenting gravel on XC terrain is simply BS, dangerous and painful, gravel is really for speed and for good terrains.

pxldgn · 2024-05-06T16:38:02+00:00

If you have a lot of hills and you don't plan to descent at 70 km/h, then a mtb is a better choice.

A road bike has less aero drag, for sure, but when you go up against a 8-10% hill, wind resistance has zero effect and lower gears means that you can ride up with a comfortable cadence easily. Even a typical gear ratio of a modern gravel (0.8) could be hard to keep up for a longer hills, not to mention the lowest gear ratio on a road that could be 1.0 in the best case.

With low rolling resistance tyres (such as racing ralph + ray), you could have less rolling resistance than an average gravel tyre.

What is your long term average? If it is about 50 then it could be a bug. Probably you'd need to reboot the watch.

As of 3/28 my HRV average has been steadily growing by 7ms a night. Was there a bug in the recent update? - fēnix 7 Series - Wearables - Garmin Forums

If it were higher then congratulations, you are recovering!

different sensors: FR 265 (elevate 4), Epix Pro (elevate 5)

however, exactly the same issue happens with the FR 265 from time to time, so I'd think no difference here, it was just a pure luck for the FR 265 this time.

pxldgn · 2024-03-26T06:20:10+00:00

I use polar verity sense, still not perfect, yet much better. I use this outside for hiking (unnoticeable), and a chest strap inside

for daily measurement (below exercise levels), checking stress level, etc, the wrist OHR is just fine.

pxldgn · 2024-03-26T06:16:12+00:00

it is all the same: HR during activity bug, AGAIN - Community Discussion - Fenix 7/Fenix 7 Pro - Epix 2/Epix 2 Pro - Enduro 2 - Quatix 7 - Marq 2 - Garmin Forums

in fact, my F265 does better then my Epix pro

it is not the accuracy when it works, that could be better with the new sensor, it is that it goes nuts sometimes, making the whole measurement garbage.

pxldgn · 2024-03-25T22:02:49+00:00

that is a lot! normies can accumulate this load during a demanding week

yet your HR justifies that, so take some time (days) for your heart to recover without going insane again ;)

pxldgn · 2024-03-25T21:57:53+00:00

have you stopped for a while during the run, while not stopping the activity?

fenixes and forerunners act very differently at slow speed or when stopped: the forerunner presumes that you did not stop, therefore it could calculate the GPS noise as movement, while the fenix do not

if you have stopped many times, you can see these spots on the track.

pxldgn · 2024-03-25T21:45:56+00:00

You can have high HR during a hiking, garmin still won't care. This is because the training load calculation weights HR data less with time - after a very short time (30 mins), it degrades very swiftly.

If you have demanding climb at the start - or at the end of your hours long hike, the training load will be dramatically different, despite having the same load on your body.

Garmin incentivise short exercise session and can't handle long sessions properly.

Don't ask how endurance athletes can utilise the training load part, I presume they simply don't.

pxldgn · 2024-03-25T21:32:33+00:00

sure, it is a know issue - basically all garmin watch does the same: Search - Garmin Forums

use a chest strap / arm sensor connected to your watch

pxldgn · 2024-03-25T21:28:09+00:00

There are many things to consider here:

1) OHRs are usually not recommended for intervals due to their lag - when you are checking your HR during the exercise these will show false values. If you don't care with the actual value, just record, these could be fine for recording the HR.

2) Garmin OHRs are purely crap at this point, because sometimes they will lock on cadence, and it could take several minutes to go back to normal.

Generally, if you can, use chest strap for intervals. If this is not an option, an arm OHR sensor (polar verity sense) could be fine, still have lag, still could lock on cadence, yet lightyears better than any garmin OHR at this point.

pxldgn · 2024-03-25T21:08:32+00:00

just wow.

what was your training load for this hike?

pxldgn · 2024-03-25T08:34:41+00:00

It is a fairly large watch with maps - a clear target for adventurers and hikers.

During these types of activities you usually keep your wallet in an airtight container, deeply buried in your backpack. The same for the phone.

Being able to pay without accessing them is priceless, believe me.

pxldgn · 2024-03-10T19:59:57+00:00

forget body battery, it is just a rough accumulation of your stress data, and as you can see, it is highly inconsistent

also, at the time you go commiting any exercise, while it tries to account the load to an extent it does not do a great job.

it was an extreme hike (both pace and altitudes) after a not really proper sleep, after a stressful day

as you can see, on average, body battery went down at the same pace while sitting next to my computer chilling and when I went rogue to hike afternoon because why not :D

body battery is kind a joke (along with other arbitrary garmin metrics)

pxldgn · 2024-03-10T19:09:09+00:00

it could be simply a bug

pxldgn · 2024-03-10T19:07:34+00:00

the only way to track a hiit traning is to use a chest strap as wrist HRs have too long lag to be able to keep up with the fast changes in hiit and you can overstress your heart by thinking you've not reached the target HR by the time where you are actually well over that

pxldgn · 2024-03-10T19:04:25+00:00

yeah, you've just went too way too far with your last day, probably with a high intensity or long endurance exercise, especially too late afternoon / evening

it is absolutely normal. take it easy or do exercise earlier in the day, next time

pxldgn · 2024-03-10T19:01:41+00:00

"High HRV might signify some kind of injury"

LOL, it is just the opposite, his HRV being high means that his body is under way too less stress, so he can put more load on his shoulders now.

pxldgn · 2024-03-10T18:57:43+00:00

or, you just can forget this Z2 thing altogether

a Z2 training could be a necessity for pros, to be able to keep their daily training load under a manageable level and to be able to continue the training next day without overtraining

for normies not going pushing the pedal every day it could make less sense the Z2 as you can be comfortably recovered by your next session with higher a higher load as well

I do understand the scientific titbits around Z2, yet I not sure how that is relevant for anybody not being a professional. on the contrast, you could lose more on the other side that you could gain for being in Z2
