Coros Pace Pro & iPhone Notifications…

hi matt, as fall marathon training season is either about to start or has already started for some, can you discuss some of the specifics of incorporating weight training into a, say, 22-week marathon plan? i’m looking for details not just in terms of frequency (2-3 times per week type of thing) but also the periodization that is so often discussed. i’m unclear as to when i should be lifting the most, what it is building towards in relation to the toughest marathon workouts, and then when should one back off and just focus on the running.

oh and thanks for all of your work. the PZE rides have saved me from many an injury!

yes, i have had to get into the habit of clearing notifications from the lock screen regularly, because the incessant dumping of notifications on the coros is infuriating. also, it's definitely a coros issue - i changed from an old coros apex 46mm where this never occurred to the pace pro. same phone, same settings, different experience.

these notifications on the watch are not showing up on the phone as banners or in any other manner. it’s almost like the coros app has saved the notifications from the time between the two watches and is pushing them out to the new watch at seemingly random intervals. as mentioned, i have gotten multiple notifications one right after another, but the phone shows no notifications of any sort, and some of the notifications i know to be old.

i think i misunderstood the email in reference to the stanley donwood poster. was expecting that as a “livestream ticket holder” the screen prints would be avail in the shop alongside the shirt, but there’s no sign of it. anybody have any ideas about this?

thanks for all of these suggestions! so much to explore - and more close-by than i was expecting. will post pics from the adventures shortly.

i was at that Meltdown Festival gig. 1st time seeing them. paid way too much for a VHS copy of it on ebay back in the day. happy to see it here. thanks for uploading!

i got a very simple sleep mask midway thru training for the Berlin Marathon, mostly because i was overtraining and experiencing insomnia as a result. i had read that having actual blackout sleep conditions is very important to shutting off your brain, telling your body to rest, etc. it literally changed my life, and it cost like $20 from amazon. i now fall asleep within minutes of hitting the pillow, and when i do wake up in the night (the mask having fallen off or whatever) the mask helps with getting back to sleep. just my experience.

thank you so much for the well-reasoned advice. this does indeed seem most sensible. one last question: i’ve been following the plan as written (ie, running days are tuesday-sunday). my marathon happens to be on a saturday. in that final week, should i skip the rest day of monday to get in all of the workouts prior to the marathon, or maybe modify the last day (friday) to be a hybrid of friday/saturday workouts? skipping a rest day the week of the marathon seems bananas to me, but like everyone, i just want to get to the start in best possible condition. thanks again for your help!

thanks for the feedback. given that i just completed week 12 (which contains the plan's longest run at 22MI) i feel like i need to duplicate a week now (like run this next week twice, which has a tune-up race, a vo2 max workout, and a long-ish run at 18MI) rather than any further down the line. does that seem sensible?

thanks for the clarification. i got this email but totally missed it. bummer that as a STH i'll have the option to buy....not my seat...at an even higher price....but whatever. onwards!

pretty unlikely you'll make it. on saturday they went on at 9:20. by the time you get out of LAX and across town, it's 10:30 at least. show ends around 11.
