you can still do it if you turn it on. I turned mine back on. Doing a little research, they turned it off after a minor stink on twitter a while back but it was for a different part of the site. But they didn't really give much info on it disappearing apparently or how to turn it on. It's easy to do but you have to go find it in your privacy settings.
Very little. Not that I'm an expert, but I see these numbers/statuses bounce around so much that I can't really rely on them for anything. Other than just trivial observations.
Yes, my new watch may not have enough data yet but race predictor has me a lot slower than I think I am. I even purposely ran a hard tempo this morning to get the times down but that didn't work.
Another issue is that sometimes my watch will read my HR wrong for a stretch (pegged to my max for a number of miles), and that will throw off all the metrics.
Your workout this morning shows that you're not far from being in race shape. I feel the same way about races and am just taking things week by week. This week I just want to get in 60 and run at least 3 maybe 4 miles at my current tempo pace.
Yes, I've been thinking that you've done so much base training recently that you should be more than ready for those type workouts.
I'm going to run Milwaukee on April 10. Starting training on December 7. It's only $69 to register, and it's only a 90-minute drive for you, so pretty much zero planning required. Just a thought...
I deferred Carmel from this year, so I'm registered for that, too, on April 3. Gives me a possible pivot if Milwaukee would get canceled (in which case there's the option for a full refund, btw).
Psf is a no fly zone for me.
Avoid the PSF. maybe venture into the shark pool or stock thread occasionally.
I rarely ever visit the PSF anymore. And I never post.
Pretty much this. When I started gearing up my mileage again earlier in the calendar year, it was telling me to take 3-4 days of recovery. Now, it's often more like 15-30 hours. I have noticed that when I overextend, the recovery time that shows is longer. But as you say, that's all common sense.
And even the VO2MAX calculation feels error-prone. Went out this morning, nice cool temps (could have lived without the rain and wind, though). Ran a good pace, HR was in a good spot, and of course Garmin bumps-up my VO2MAX to 59. Had I run that in 70F temps, there's no way that would have happened. There really needs to be a temperature adjustment to these calculations. I can't just have a high VO2MAX in winter, and lower in summer.
I'm not in the cool kids circles. Is this a "we don't talk about fight club" kind of thing?
I still don't know what happened - I mean, normally I know when I've crossed a line but the only thing I can think of was I was a little too open with using it.
A new runner to the thread! Welcome. Don't run too fast when you start. There's a ton of science about cadence out there. Be sure to read up.
@Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene. He goes to the reservation drinks and gets mean. He's gonna start a war. He hops in his pickup, puts the pedal to the floor and says "I got mine but I want more".Cowboy Dan?
Thanks!
The harder you press right now the quicker you'll get back to where you were, but the harder you press right now the more likely you are to sustain an injury. Risk <> reward.
I usually go the middle route. Run a little slower with a higher heart rate and then, as fitness comes back, speed up while having a lower heart rate.
Thanks.
I don't adhere to hard rules when it comes to easy running - it depends on factors unique to that day. There are days my easy run is around 8 minute pace and there are days it's near 10. Hell there were long run days when I was nearing peak shape last winter my HR barely elevated over 140 at paces near 7:30.
By "easy" does he mean "recovery" or "general aerobic?" That's way too fast for GA runs (what my coach calls "glue" runs). When I'm training to race at sub-6:50 pace, my GA pace tends to be in the 7:30-8:00 range. If he meant recovery, that's REALLY too fast.
