I'm 40 yrs old with a lot of visceral fat. According to the formula, my MHR is 180, but sometimes I jog for 10-12 minutes at 170-175 HR I don't lose my breath. Which makes me think my MHR is closer to 190.

not taking advice from a south african

I run early morning but my HR is high specially the first 2k the it lowers a bit and stabilize.

The two big authorities for me 1. Arthur Lydiard 2. Dr. Tanaka, author of slow jogging

Target pace ranges in preset workouts were great until Garmin changed the workout dial to current pace. They really need to switch it back, such a waste of a neat function.

I normally run until I have massive chest pain then just cut back a little. Works every time. 😁

Absolutely no one should need “workouts” to run a sub 4 hour marathon.

The best way to determine VO2max, short of going to a lab, is the Cooper test. I do it two or three times per year.

Sorry, but Connect IQ is garbage. 🤷🏻

All of these factors make this a good application for AI. I think this is what Garmin’s “daily suggested workout” is trying to do. I would like to know your thoughts about it.

Thank You for this amazing video.

Thank you!!!

I have a Garmin 265. Loved it until Garmin destroyed the value by trashing the iOS app. It is total garbage and I hate Garmin now.

Was going to hit dislike - because it's just another videos of "insane super unbelievable genius hidden hacks" that just shows the most basic Garmin features. But the track mode saved the whole video - didn't heard about this

Can someone show me a hack that will make my Garmin Edge 350 readable at all times? Half the time it’s so dark it’s unreadable on my bike. I’ve tried all the different lighting options.

I’m not a Garmin user but I’m thinking about getting one. Which model do you suggest?

Great summary list. 👍

Jesus, i have done at least 90% of me running at above 80% of max HR, most likely even at 90% of max HR. Getting some serious paranoia here. Could i have done permanent damage and be in danger since I suffer from chronic fatigue for like 20 years?

100% me. But where to get help?

We can always learn from your podcasts. Thank you for your effort in doing this 🎉

This is brilliant as usual

In Canada, many of us plan for our goal and other races, so we totally understand A and B races etc. I won't compromise my goal race for other races, but will adjust my schedule accordingly.

Do you have a training programs for 400m to 1500m? I'm not interested in ultra long distances as of yet. I'm 70 and looking at for a reliable training program.

Turning 50 next year. If my stupid hip somehow heals, I will do a PB marathon again. Always interesting videos from you guys. The advice is always useful

I've been incorporating walk breaks into training and races for over 20 years. The creation of the run walk method is attributed to Jeff Galloway, who created the program in 1974. Forgetting my pride and using walk breaks to keep me heart rate within Zone 2 while training has been a challenging.

The one time I broke the 300 mile rule I got runner's knee. 🙄 now I have to take time off. Should have just stuck with the 300 mile rule.

How many sets, reps and how often are we doing this? Thanks!

My Vo2Max is, according to my Garmin FR 255, just now 48, after a November and December, so far with not much training. At my peak late this summer it read 52. I'm a 51 y.o. male. 163cm tall and 65kg.

After hating my chest strap I switched to a Coros bicep strap and don’t even know that it’s there. It synchs automatically to my Garmin watch.

low heart rate running aka JOGGING!

This guide came from research in sports physiology into simple ways to judge when an athlete achieved his/her VO2 max value since this is what you try to increase via exercise. For athletes it works quite well or well enough but it is not a good guide for anyone else and was never intended to be.

Great

5:07 It helps to get your shoes for free. Not all of us are In a good position to buy three or four pair of shoes per year at that rate.

What about using power for the shorter intensity workouts rather than HR to understand what zone you are in? I know it's just a value - but it's a personal value and gives an immediate reading rather than having to respond with a delay (like a HR monitor).

That's what I do....and have experience that,over the years.excersie to much or too hard ,it takes to long to heal up, there is a point,of intensity, that benefits, improvement, growth,etc

Sunshine 🎉we haven’t seen warm sunshine in the UK for so so long… oh to run in the sun 😂

CP this is your best video. I LOVE this one. Thorough and informative and a spot on topic. The first few sentences even, speak to VOLUMES of runners. Thank you for this one!

I enjoy the episodes where Coach Lindsey does most of the talking!

Always great concepts! Always thank you!

My running buddy which is 14 years younger than me complains at times when I tell him I have to slow down because I need to keep my heart rate under 141 haha.

I did 27 000 miles with very high heart rate training. That has been one decades long mistake. Too late too change now. But I am trying.

Great video. Is it an idea to add arm HR monitor straps and running power meters?

More top-tier advice from these 2 experienced runners...

I absolutely love Garmin VO2 max. I know from reviews that it’s not that accurate in absolute terms (though seems to be within around 5% generally), but it’s like weighing scales: if you always use the same ones then you can see your trend. I’m 71 presently but I’ve been using VO2 for around 7 years and it’s amazingly consistent. Although I’ve gone down quite a bit in those 7 years it’s never made a sudden jump, only ever gradual. It distinguishes all kinds of run, so a long slow run today matches my short, speed session yesterday. It’s a good indicator of when I have an infection, especially a chest infection, of which I might otherwise be unaware. And I don’t understand comments about gym sessions detracting from the measure as it cannot measure VO2 in a gym environment (well mine can’t anyway) and your cardiovascular benefits in the gym will aid later run sessions.

Zone 6 is the new zone 2!

I can breathe through my nose with shut mouth at zone 4. Whats the big deal ?

I'm 44 with VO2 max of 44, is it a good stats?

This is a great video - I like the pragmatic approach and busting some myths! In my coaching I always talk about consistency - the need for easier (whatever zone you call them) workouts for 60-80% of the time and the benefit of good sleep and nutrition. When I did my sports science degree we looked into ice baths, compression socks etc as means of recovery and exactly as you say, good if you have a multi day event but not good for adaptation. They create the same suppression of the inflammatory response as ibuprofen and the likes, and your body needs that response to 'grow'. Well done on this one!

Thank you for this. I am 35 years old and using this calculation, when I bike, I constantly panic that I am over my allowed "safe" target HR causing me to slow my pace for no reason.
