In the grand scheme of things it's not that big a deal really but I understand that some weekly "Compromised running" (running after some sort of strength/gym activity) is going to be essential but it won't ever tally into my annual totals etc so there's going to be an under-recording of running which might give me an skewed view of what I've done looking back in a year or two. Maybe I'm overthinking it. I guess if it really mattered I could clip it or split it or something and record 9 separate activities but it seems a lot of work.
SPR Nov 2023 7:50pm, 5 Nov 2023 43,183 posts	0 SPR If you're referring to watches, you'd change sport at each activity. You might be able to set up activities to immediately follow each other but not looked into that.
Ocelot Spleens Nov 2023 8:49pm, 5 Nov 2023 38,115 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens I had a method back then, if it was running a distance of say, 400 or more. I would stop my watch start it again and measure it as a run, anything in between was measured, and uploaded as cross, by wire. Got messy shorter than that, we occasionally did a 5k run, but mainly 200, 400, 800.... because the box was on the Cirencester Agricultural College grounds and was a bit restrictive.....especially with a load of pig shit thicko posh aggie types wandering about in a daze.
Nellers Nov 2023 9:03pm, 5 Nov 2023 41,500 posts	0 Nellers I probably need to do a bit of research because in theory if the watch can do a tri then it should be possible to programme alternate splits as runs. I’ll let you know if I work something out.
SPR Nov 2023 9:20pm, 5 Nov 2023 43,185 posts	0 SPR I know you can do it manually without programming as the 255 has "change sport" when in an activity which I've used once when I was walking but then decided to run for a bit. The programming is obviously what you want for an event though.
Maclennane Nov 2023 7:04am, 6 Nov 2023 31,547 posts	0 Maclennane Morning, and a good one. Didn't want to go this morning but the boy told me off and the weights went up better than usual
Maclennane Nov 2023 7:06am, 6 Nov 2023 31,548 posts	0 Maclennane Ooh, I just read back. I'd better get on it, though I did inch the sled up closer to competition weight today
Nellers Nov 2023 7:54am, 6 Nov 2023 41,501 posts	0 Nellers I’ve not touched a sled or a ski erg and I’ve not got a wall to ball. You’re still ahead of me, Maclennane.
lammo Nov 2023 11:24am, 6 Nov 2023 12,409 posts	0 lammo Morning all, some pretty impressive training going on in here. I've been back in the gym for four weeks now, and starting to add a bit more weight. I'm due to go tonight, but still have some doms in certain muscles from Saturday, should i be training those areas again or letting them recover fully?
quimby Nov 2023 7:02pm, 6 Nov 2023 6,325 posts	0 quimby I accidentally pushed 75kg last week because I misjudged what was already on the sled when I got to it. I just looked up what women push in Hyrox. 102kg! Maybe not yet. 😂
