Big_G May 2020 9:34am, 23 May 2020 2 posts	0 Big_G Thanks Nellers. TheBeard, it's just another stat to track really. For much of the lockdown (with no races) I've been doing all my training at 142bpm and I've seen some encouraging progress at that effort when I do a 5-mile run on the flat. The "beats per mile" stat contributes is helpful as alongside the pace hopefully getting quicker, the "beats per mile" should get lower as you get fitter. There's a very good runner who has a blog that mentions it here. There is a paragraph just above his graph in this post. runningobsessive.blogspot.com

The old strap with Garmin 305 and 310 worked way better than the modern fance optical HR monitor that I now have!) Welcome to Fetch. Any questions, just ask. Some great threads on here about HR based training. G
TheBeardRunner (aka Abul Choudhury May 2020 10:43am, 24 May 2020 45 posts	0 TheBeardRunner (aka Abul Choudhury So, is there a difference between following a Fetchie and buddying them?
Velociraptor May 2020 10:46am, 24 May 2020 46,714 posts	0 Velociraptor There is indeed. Following a Fetchie means you'll get a notification up there ^ whenever they log some training. Buddying a Fetchie allows them to see blogs you've limited to "buddies only" (but not vice versa unless they buddy you back) and gives you an additional filter to use for some lists.

Tooms Jun 2020 10:53pm, 7 Jun 2020 11 posts	0 Tooms Hi. I have downloaded data from Strava. How do I upload t to Fetch ? Hopefully this is an easy question. Thanks

Can’t help you with ~~strava~~ because mine uploads automatically to garmin connect and I have set up permission for it to come over to Fetch. You probably need to set up something similar - it’s pretty simple, IIRC. This might or might not help, but someone else will be around before long.

beebop Jun 2020 11:16pm, 7 Jun 2020 1,635 posts	0 beebop fetcheveryone.com/tutorial.php It would have helped if I’d remembered to include the link. Only real drawback I can think of on this site is the inability to edit posts...
