  • RE: Adaptive training for marathon in 6 months time

    I've found the race predictions get more accurate the longer I have the watch. My predicted marathon time typically reduces by about an hour over the training program. For my last race i was two minutes under the predicted time. The predictions used to…

  • RE: The route displayed in Garmin Connect is 2.5 percent shorter than the GPX file exported from this route

    I used a paper Green Trails map which shows distance on different segments of trails. I know that isn't super accurate but wanted to show that even adjusted distance is still typically shorter than actual. In general all watches measure short on trails…

  • RE: Garmin Coach Amy: questionable strategy with low paces?

    Hi Achim,
    I cannot rely on "Amy", but it´s a normal approach to train slower on long training runs and faster in a few short intervals.

    On a marathon you also don´t go for the full distance and pace before.

    I managed to update the firmware via a computer like a 2004 iPod, and I now get some results through to my phone on the driving range. I wouldn’t say the bugs are all gone yet. I needed to have the ball very specifically placed in order to achieve a result…

    Previously Audio Prompts - Lap alerts announced speed and HR rate, but now just very short lap number and probably distance (not sure, don't remember right now).

    I used to have it configured, but can't recall where. Can't find this info in the manual…

  • RE: Fenix 6 Series - 5.75 Beta Release

    The Fenix 6 measures GPS distance consistently 2-3% to short.

     

    Here is a comparison from today:

    Fenix 6: 8,3km

    Forerunner 305: 8,5km

    Samsung S10/Endomondo: 8,71km.

     

    This is what I have seen from all my runs. Using beta 5.72, 5.74 and 5.75.

     

    The oHR have…

    My 5x is also short on distance (especially in the forest).
    in a forest run its like 10% off with my TomTom watch. People who claim you need a foodpod are wrong because the old TomTom was accurate every run. Now the same runs can differ in distance.

  • RE: GPS inaccuracies on the track

    Just curious as to why you use GPS on a track, since you know where you ran and you know the distance and GPS is known to be terrible on such a short course with so many turns?

    I would either just use a stopwatch or if anything a calibrated foot pod…

    Does the route you followed have a lot of sharp turns? Does it have a lot of buildings or trees?

    Have you compared the two GPS traces to see whether one of them is cutting corners or going off track?

    In general, I find the 955 is very accurate, far more…

    The VO₂Max figure is greatly influenced by the type of runs you do. It seems to favour my short faster runs (2 miles) over my longer distances at a more moderate pace.

    I did a very demanding 5km run at the weekend on soft sand which will have caused my…
