Haha i pretty much did the same until I tried it out.To be honest, I've never used one so I was just going off what I've read! My old Garmin was always way off - seemed to be the same HR whether I was running a 5km PB or a slow trot - but I'm seeing more varied readings with my new Coros.
I’m doing the Wilmslow half in March. Should be a nice race!Did the Daffodil 10k in Stockport today.
Managed to just sneak under 48 minutes. Preparation wasn’t helped by a 14 month old baby bringing germs and bugs back from nursery and passing them on.
It’s a good little race though that I’d not done before but will hopefully do again.
Thinking of doing Wilmslow next in late March.
They had an issue with the timings, you might want to check your official time again, the official times added 30 seconds on for some reason, but they fixed it laterDid the Daffodil 10k in Stockport today.

Run as slow as you can later, will work wondersGood time that!
Despite running for years, that was my first ever organised event and I get the buzz around them now.
Definitely planning more.
There's a few Wilmslow events in March.
Up for a half marathon at some stage and was looking at May - but there's a good chance it will be v warm then and I'm not a huge fan of running in heat.
As an aside, my legs are a little sore this morning but I did do Park Run, few walks, the 10k Daff and then a heavy Pilates (legs session) yesterday.
General advice good to run later? Nothing hurts and I definitely want to stat stepping up running now.
Nice.Run as slow as you can later, will work wonders
I'd echo what Gaz recommends. If you go out, run slowly... like painfully slowly. You should feel like it's awkward how much you're holding yourself back.Nice.
Will do that.
I didn't push myself on the 10k Stockport event - just nice steady pace.
Wanted to drop an official marker down for future races.
M&M sports have got the Brooks running shoes in stock
Nice.
Will do that.

Always fancied an event in one of the Scandinavian countries - embed one in a small break over there.We were in Norway at the weekend and it was icy as fuck. I went out for a run on Sunday morning and managed not to slip over. Some of the paths were like running on an ice rink. There were parts where I had to run through snow, which worked the legs like running on sand does.
I went to a floating sauna afterwards, which included jumping into icy water and it sorted me right out. I was buzzing for about 5 hours afterwards.
