guess you are not trying to miss lead him

of course not.
If he is doing 40~50k weekly mileage all these while , means that he got enough training and his body already get used to it.

aa you got a point there. As we know FM is all about endurance..the key here is long run at least 25KM which is 50% if he say 50k/week. Not enough, need to increase it

Actually I agree. No point to force honestly.

Remember, there is FM's happening all the time. You want the experience, not the pain.

i finish in 6:28.
me too target 6 hours, was following the 6 hr pacers up to 21k
then drop behind slowly until meet the 6:30 pacers near finish line.
bad mistake of following the 6hr pacers as i had terrible cramps after the race.
clearly, my lazy weekly training of 25 - 30 k isn't enough to do sub 6.

lesson learnt, last weekend, finished PNM in 6:29 in better condition,
though very tired but no cramps.
this time i no follow the pacers, just run my own pace.
again i try to aim around 6 hours finishing with target of completing 7k in an hour.
managed to keep timing of completing 28k in 4 hours then slowly ran out of gas..lol

Hi,

How long you train for FM? 6 months? Your weekly mileage is 25k to 30k? How long is your long run? How many runs per week you do? 2 runs plus 1 long run?

What is your avg HR when you complete the FM?

Hi,
So what is the result of the 2 FM?

FM race goal - complete within COT.

trained around 6 months,
3 runs per week - usual routine is wed 5k, fri 5k, sunday 15 - 20k
no hill, no speedwork, no tempo becoz bad knees (just an excuse..actually just plain lazy..hehe)

usual long runs are kept around 3 hours running (i focus on time, rather than distance)

HR ? i dun measure but i think its low becoz i'm not huffing and puffing, just that the legs got no more strength
to run

what about you? joined any race lately, planning to join some next year?

mind if I ask what if your guys max heart rate?

I a bit confuse what to put in my garmin. All this while im using 220-age=max heart rate concept. I found it to be widely inaccurate if compared to my watch reading..btw Im using forerunner 235.

So what is your guys max heart rate? should we use what the heart rate optice read instead?

my max heart rate 202bpm
im using HRM belt and sometimes on optical HRM

same. But Im not convinced with mine
I saw few people workout in track only read 160+ HR max

how many beat deference between your HRM belt and the watch built in optical HRM?

Hi bro, off topic here. When you started using FR235 do you have date and time not sync with local time issue?
Some said need to go for a run which utilize the GPS function, is that true?
I've run for a 5mins yesterday but there's sudden rain so i stopped half way.
I also turned on GPS + Glonass, time to sync automatically, both functions.
Any other solutions?

belt vs optical HRM like +/- 5bpm
not much differences

I don't have this problem. Mine work normal since I 1st use them. Have you connect your watch to GarminConnect Apps?

Thanks man. So it is safe to say we got high max HR (I'm not 20y) and use them to measure our training zone.

Yea I did. Like 1st thing after i got my watch. So strange... that mine works strangely. Is there a button in the app that mention about time syncing?

It didn't but you can set you location from the apps. Maybe it will help

Location is shared to my watch. Did you stick any glass protector on ur watch? I'm wondering if it blocks/weakens the GPS signals...

Ok finally found the solution.

It's true that going for a run will solve the date/time issue.

The trick is to let it idle once you start a run, wait at the screen where it's 0 distance / 0:00 time / 0:00 pace before starting a run cos the watch will try to detect GPS (There's a signal showing "Waiting for GPS").

Once it's detected, you're good to go and the date/time is automatically synced correctly with local time.

Just gonna leave it here in case other forumers face similiar issue. Cheers!
