@over_clox are you implying that Garmin devices do not exist anymore because you have not seen one in 18 years? And that I've been hallucinating for the last decade that I wear one everyday? ๐Ÿ˜†

@over_clox yes. I have auto updates on.

 

My #Garmin watch has been pushing up my auto-detected maximum heart rate for months now.

And now it says my max HR is 211! Either I'm getting more and more fit as I age (early forties now), or something is fishy. Since my workouts are based on my max HR, they have been also getting more difficult over time. I checked reddit and found many people complaining about this. So today, I manually set the max HR to a reasonable value.

Anyone else faced this issue? @running @garmin #running #runnersofmastodon

 

Is max HR determined automatically by Garmin watches reliable?

I've been #running consistently for last one year (ran over 500km) and my #Garmin watch has been increasing my detected max heart rate slowly. Last week it reached 202 bpm, and that has me a little worried because I'm not exactly a young man (almost 40 now). Since my workouts are heart rate based, they have been getting harder too. Though I must say, I feel less tired than a year ago.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it safe to follow the max HR determined by the watch? #runnersofmastodon

@qooqie Starting from couch, I ran a 10k race and then another five minutes faster, four month later. Hoping to get to under one hour mark by the end of 2024.

Six weeks ago I finished my couch-to-10k training, and ran my first 10k after a gap of 3.5 years. It went well, but the fatigue lasted for two weeks. Afterwards, I fell sick and couldn't start running for two more weeks. Finally last week, I started training again, for a faster 10k. And I realised that running couple of times a week actually makes me feel more rested and full of energy, as compared to a more sedentary life.

I have used Garmin 245 for years and it is completely worth the money. Plus they keep adding new features via software updates.
