Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I'll be interested to see what Garmin comes up with when I start adding track races in.

I'll also be interested in if Garmin is smart enough to change predictions based on routes for a race (elevation, etc). Don't know if I'll be able to add a route for the road relays. Has anyone done this and seen a difference?

I wish I had got the 7 now!
All this info and training specific to races sounds great

I think for training specific to races, it's reserve judgement ATM, but it's a feature that could help runners if they get it right.

I think I too use very little of the features which was why I didn't go for the 7 as that has even more I wouldn't us!

Garmin Pay is probably the useful thing for me even if I won't use it very often. Means I can go for run with just watch and keys knowing I always have money if I need to get a bus or something else. No cash, card or phone necessary.

That should say *most* useful.

I appreciate the better sleep stuff over the 245 though and the training stuff is interesting to monitor.

Training load split is also a useful upgrade over the 245.

About This Thread

Maintained by EvilPixie
According to my Garmin this morning my body battery was at just 41 and I was "strained"
I have been strained for most days in the last 2 weeks
My body battery has also been low

So today it suggested a threshold run of up to an hour!

What's your Garmin say?
