Fragile Do Not Bend Jan 2021 5:59pm, 3 Jan 2021 7,606 posts	Fragile Do Not Bend It occurred to me to check my training benchmarks on here because of the Garmin problem and indeed I supposedly ran my fastest ever 400m yesterday. Thankfully there’s an option to remove dodgy results from that page. This afternoon’s run was where it should have been.

sallykate Jan 2021 5:09pm, 4 Jan 2021 7,293 posts	sallykate Question re setting intervals up in Garmin Connect. I'm doing a run/walk program which has fairly complicated intervals so not just a case of using the watch alerts. Does it matter whether I set the walk bit to recover or rest - in terms of measuring distance? I think that it will measure distance in Recover sections but not sure whether it thinks Rest is total rest as in no movement. And yes, I could just do them all to Recover but I was on autopilot and used Rest instead so now wondering whether I need to edit them all.

Fitz Jan 2021 3:58pm, 10 Jan 2021 2,344 posts	Fitz I just got a FR245 to replace my 620 which was dying. First impression: the rubber wrist strap seems really cheap & nasty compared to the 620 (and the 610 I had before that). Has anyone changed a 245 strap for something better?

SPR Jan 2021 4:09pm, 10 Jan 2021 32,907 posts	SPR Not changed the strap on my 245. I think it's elasticated to help the HRM work better.
