surely accuracy is defined as a measure of precision -- if the altitude [barometric] sensor is observed to be precise "enough" and the GPS-speed (which is not speed, it is distance over time) is observed to be reliable because time is precise and distance…
The problem also a footpod can't solve though is the massive variation the Garmin shows, even when running with supposedly the same pace and exactly the same route. Some typical data from my old town on 5km: 300m short, 120m short, 170m short, 320m short…
Is there any chance that you are going uphill for a short distance during the run? I've not used my F6 for alpine skiing but used my F3 for several years and it happens from time to time but always because the slope gain altitude for a short period instead…
The watch always measures significantly shorter than the real distance or distance recorded by for example a Fenix 7 (borrowed), I've worn both at once to verify this. Wearing the watch on the inside of the wrist helps as does 1 second location updates…
It seems like a plausible solution.
TBH I don't have the Speed Sensor 2 paired with GCM normally. I'm waiting (probably in vain) until Garmin do something about the creation of separate activities every time the sensor is woken from it's sleep state.…
Does a higher VO2max does not help for marathons / ultras
Not necessarily. VO2max is basically a measure of your cardiorespiratory function - how much of your inhaled oxygen you can convert to energy. You still need to develop the muscular…
