Hi ob, Ive just seen your run on strava before seeing this post, when you say your heart rate was 1.56 do you mean 156? Thats quite low for a zone 5 run, are you sure you have your zones set up right on your watch?
Thanks mate, I thought Garmin did it automatically when I entered age, weight etc. I quite new to running and keeping fit, lost about stone n half in last 18 months and did couchto5k middle of last year. Bought a Garmin about June 2020 and that's my first exercise in about 30 years.
To be blunt, that advice is wrong.
Yes, Sydney McLaughlin, thanks for the reminder. I heard someone say that this could well be the first women's 100m final where every athlete dips under eleven seconds. It is such a shame that the world record is so far away, and so tainted, just like Kratochvilova's 800m record which has stood for nearly forty years.
Problem is with the clever techniques available these days, it's hard to consider them genuine after all the athletes that have turned out to be tainted.
It isn't, in my view. You just have to believe in the ethics of sport and the principle of innocent until proven guilty. Of course, I have tainted that with my comments about Kratochvilova and Griffith-Joyner, but time has cast too much doubt on their abilities. At the time, their performances and improvements were considered to be beyond belief too but athletes like McLoughlin, Knight, Burgin, and Jakob Ingebrigsten have been delivering from a very young age, as was Usain.
Shame for Dina Asher that the year delay in Olympics has meant such an increase in talent as well. Seems there are about 4 or 5 who could genuinely win on the day and she is one. Really looking forward to the olympics.
I've had this a few times. It always coincides with a new pair of footy boots. If I go back to using my old ones again, it disappears quite quickly. This also confirms it was the new boots causing the problem.
