I use the same strap as Tricky, never had any problems with mine either....
I'm sure Mrs TD is charmed by your romantic notions....
A few years ago I had to have a cardiology stress test and wear a HRM for 24 hours. I had stickers and tabs all over my chest and I had to complete a set of activities to raise my heart beat. One of them was treadmill running, running up stairs etc.. I'll leave the other one to your open mind but apparently you could tell from the readings what I was doing and when
Frankly, I wouldn't leave anything to the imagination of this forum...
...and compared the results to previous performances to determine if improvements have been made.
I'm not joining Garmin Connect, now....
Mr Maj is working away for 4 months....my output would resemble this ______________________________________________________
Does anyone believe in the V02 Max theory.
I've just put my recent half marathon time in. It says 'poor'.
So as a result I don't believe in it.
It's all about pacing... go off too quickly and well.. frankly, its just a disappointing end to what was otherwise going to be a solid performance.
Typical beginners mistake.......
Swiss Tony says marathon running is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman
Dannirr - 12 ounces? That's amount the amount of blood I lose when I'm putting in femoral lines...
Lincoln looks wonderful. Day Lewis is an immense presence, Spielberg excels at this sort of movie - i.e. the sort of one that he can't shoe-horn in a happy ending making everyone feel like vomiting (cf Minority Report, AI etc)...
Bubbles!
Emmy - I presume your doctor noted an increase in your HR later in the evenng and put 2+2 together... Did you tell him?! I don't think I've ever seen that marked down on a patient diary for a 24hr monitor...
And now, I'm going to stop quoting other people' posts.
TD - It's probably because I don't understand it and when that happens I have choice. Do I look into it a little bit more and make an informed comment or do I just say I really don't have the time and make an off the cuff remark, especially when it tells me I have a fair/poor v02 rating when I just run me do das off in a half marathon.
My off the cuff remark is the quicker you run the better you V02. And if you continue to run faster the better it gets. Do you need a calculator for that?
But then I would also say, as you point out, not so relevant for marathon running.
Just looked at lactate.com for all of 2 seconds. I hated science at school. Switched off.
I laughed so hard at this - I think i pulled a muscle
Tried that, got bored and was too much like work my lovely techies do. What's wrong with a simple click and shift action, eh?!
Excel is your friend...become one with it...ask for templates...there's a few people around here who have some very impressive spreadsheets!!! Mine's pretty basic. I add in my whole plan with cross training (that I don't wear garmin for) and events that I have to work running around. Then there's the reference sheet that has all my regular routes and calculates combinations of them to give me the plan for each distance.
I'm not clicking on that link. I think the point raised about who takes the next step and uploads is interesting...
Weedy - swiss tony is da man!
welcome back NGUG! You have been missed
(plus a hugs thingie but RW is so budget it doesn't have it)
This walk/jog stuff in the cold is getting annoying. Think I'll take trip to the pool after work tomorrow and see if I can find some way to swim with this bloody injury.
By trhe time my HRM found a signal, the sex would be over. Still, the 2 decimal places might come in handy
Tricky, that lovely place you work for disenchanted Auto workers sounds great, but are the walls padded?
A good idea, borrowing someone else's excel template - any offers?
My glutes and quads ached this morning after my attempts at lunges and squats yesterday. But I still went went for my hill repeats this eve, 45 mins, mile out in 10.13, mostly uphill, mile back in 9.20 (mostly downhill but I was still pleased) and 8 x 45s hill "sprints" in between (with walk / jog back down). My heart rate got higher on the run back than the hill sprints which was weird! Av HR 150, max 175.
I love all this data! Thanks garmin
My running parter has decided he wants to aim for a 4.15 marathon. I said I'd give it a go but I'd be happy with 4.30. Whats the best way to speed up? I'm doing once a week intervals, once a week tempo, 2 steady runs and resistance (includes legs and core). I'm also trying to drop a little weight (by eating less cr*p). Any other suggestions?
Loving the Garmin Connect guys.
You're all rockin' the running. Great stuff.
All I want for christmas is a Garminnnnnnnn!
oh yeah, forgot to link to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGOohBytKTU It's business time!
