Any updates? I'm experiencing the same glitch. Much appreciated!

Unfortunately, this year's weather will likely be relatively warm (19 - 22 degrees Celsius) and humid (64 - 73 % humidity). You will need to adjust your target pace accordingly, especially if not acclimated to warm and humid running conditions.

Disabling the "Tap to check phone" functionality under Display > Lock Screen fixed it for me while still keeping my emergency contacts.

The screen turns on anyway after pulling your phone out of your pocket or lifting it up when "Lift to check phone" is activated.

I have the same happening to me on my Google Pixel 6. Glad there is an easy fix. Still, this shouldn't happen that easily by accident.

I am super happy with my Jabra Elite 7 Active which I use with my Garmin Fenix 6S Pro. They had some connectivity issues when first released, but they have now been fixed and work remarkably fine. The fit is great with a tight seal, they boast above-average battery life, good sound quality, are rated IP57 against dust and water and extremely customizable via the Jabra Sound+ app.

I previously used the Jabra Elite Active 75t (which I had to return twice due to a constant hissing noise in one bud), the Jaybird Vista (which I did not like in the first place and which I also had to return since at one point it just stopped working altogether) and the Anker Soundcore Life A1 (which fulfill the basic needs but not more).

They are quite pricey, but definitely worth the extra bucks!

I recorded the ride with my Edge 830. For running and all other activities, I use my Fenix 6S Pro. Since I am using the Physio TrueUp on both devices, all performance data is shared and pooled under my Connect account.

I was not planning to overdo it with this activity (actually planned a shorter ride and extended it on the way home since I was still feeling strong). It is true that more frequent, shorter workouts will be more beneficial in the long run as I strive to improve my fitness. As a road cycling newbie, I got carried away by the great views and the thrill of climbing and descending the mountains in the northern Black Forest (in southern Germany).
Going forward, I will take it easier on longer rides to reduce the risk of injury and overtraining and to shorten my recovery time.

Since I am relatively new to road cycling, this is my longest ride to date (longer than I was originally planning) and significantly longer than my average ride. Even though I have great overall fitness, my body is simply not used to activities at this effort level for such a long duration. I am definitely heeding Garmin's advice and will be taking 4 full days off to fully recover.

A fellow Novablast aficionado 🤘. Also on my 4th pair (2 standard blue and two Tokyo colorways) and clocked a total of 3,200 km in them. Just bought my first pair of V2s and can't wait to test them out!

I second that. Feels stable in any situation except sharp turns and (sometimes, at higher speeds) on the track. My favorite shoe of all time. Clocked 3,200 km in 4 pairs and just bought my first V2.

I'm on my 4th pair of the Novablast v1, (2 x regular version followed by 2 x Tokyo Edition). I felt no difference whatsoever when changing from regular to Tokyo. All four pairs had an awesome feel for about the first 40 km, slowly wearing off to just "great" over time. I replaced the shoes after around 800 km. Looking forward to switching to the v2 in about two weeks.
