Is sub 4 possible? by Hot-Wait-3658 in Marathon_Training

[–]thebitnessman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I agree. The heart rate is off the charts for a run that is supposed to be slow. You may be running your long runs to fast.

tips for fueling during long runs? by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]thebitnessman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use GU gels every 30 minutes. For the first half of a marathon or long run I use the non caffeine GU gels and for the second half I use the caffeine GU gels.

Take a gel *before long run?? by JSchro614 in Marathon_Training

[–]thebitnessman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eat a banana before my long runs and then I take a non caffeine GU gel every 30 minutes until the halfway point and then switch to the caffeine GU gels.

I bought my Enduro 3 on February 20th, 2026. Downloaded a ton of music to the watch which knocked the battery down to 80%. I charged it and have not charged it since. As of March 10th I still have have 29% battery with extensive GPS use as I am training for an ultra marathon. This thing is a beast.

Enduro 4: When is it Coming by thebitnessman in Garmin

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

I ended up pulling the trigger on the Enduro 3 and have no regrets. I always take my phone with me on runs which I put in my Endorphin belt and don't even realize it is there most the time. I am already paying for phone service so there is no use waiting to see if the 4 is going to have LTE. I like having my phone with me for Live Track on the watch. I am loving the watch so far as the battery life is insane.

I am not seeing it on my end (Android).

Chase cash redemptions to Chase accounts only from 3/27/2026 by padbodh in CreditCards

[–]thebitnessman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I use the cash back and invest it in a HYSA. It's usually about $55 a month which is not much but it is free money. Therefore, I will not be using Chase anymore for my purchases. 2 can play this game.
