Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Back to maintaining

Interestingly I’ve been doing really slow icy runs these last few days and everyday it’s reduced my predicted 5k time

still productive here - but still slowly building miles from a v low start point and I seems to like that. Still nagging 'high aerobic shortage' though

@Rosehip I remember that frustration when using Garmin Coach and forgetting to start the session when I started a run. It wouldn't count the run and then give me more to do because it thought I had a rest day.

For some reason, it doesn't take the other apps or widgets of the Garmin watch into account, like training status and training load. Then it would know that you have trained because you accumulated a certain training load. Are you also using an older Garmin model? I'm using the FR 745 from 2020. I don't think that generation of watches is that clever that they connect the data from different apps to come up with good suggestions.

I also remember shaking my head at some of the scheduling. I put Sunday down as a LR day but then it would give me that for Monday when I barely had time for a 3 mi recovery run.

Thanks @tipsku - glad it's not just me!

It's a Fenix7, so pretty up to date.

It eventually dropped the suggested run time from 87 to 53 minutes after a couple of syncs, but still has Rest logged for yesterday.

2022 I think I bought it - a proper retirement present when I realised that I was not going to go back to work and took my proper pension
- and my old 735 was cr@p during the L50 in '21

I had a lower heart rate during my easy run yesterday and my Garmin VO2max went up from 60 to 61.

Garmin's algorithm is secret but clearly the ratio of heart rate versus pace is an important metric.

Massive low end outlier for HRV last night, probably due to having fixed the strap a notch looser than normal.

Still productive :-o which just shows how low a baseline it thinks I am improving from

Having ignored its Tempo suggestion on Sunday and just pootled around as usual, it said to rest yesterday - so I ignored it again and jogged bout for an hour ish.
Today it wants 53 minutes base - a favourite suggestion when it isn't obsessed with Tempo at silly high hr.

Except that today's 'base' suggestion is firmly in what I understand to be Tempo heart rate and the pace is too.
My marathon PB pace, in fact, although it is predicting a marathon time an hour slower than that

Absolutely useless.

About This Thread

Maintained by EvilPixie
According to my Garmin this morning my body battery was at just 41 and I was "strained"
I have been strained for most days in the last 2 weeks
My body battery has also been low

So today it suggested a threshold run of up to an hour!

What's your Garmin say?
