Your experience is like mine. I’ve always had a problem with cadence lock affecting heart rate displayed on my Garmin watches. It’s the same on my latest Garmin, the 265. Really annoying because these sudden spikes skew all my performance stats. I had hoped an arm band HRM would solve the problem and chose the COROS because it got good reviews. Sadly, I am still getting HR spikes - often way above my max HR - in around half my runs. The spikes start within a couple of minutes of starting a run and often last a long time before the Garmin Connect graph shows my heart rate dropping off a cliff back to where it should be. If I take off the watch and/or arm band, wait a while and put them back on, my heart rate displayed generally goes back to normal. I’ve manually turned off watch heart rate rather than have it switch to COROS automatically but to no avail. I can see the watch HRM is off because there are no green lights on the back but the displayed heart rate is way too high. Sometimes the COROS works perfectly but I can’t rely on it in a race. I’ve just ordered a Polar Verity Sense in the hope it may work better for me.

@@peterjohnson653 That's interesting Peter. One of the frustrating things for me is that it only happens occasionally and unpredictability. I can go for weeks thinking that the arm strap is accurate then one day it will be obviously wrong, but only for part of the run. I'd be interested to hear if the Polar Verity is any more reliable. Thanks for commenting.

Cheers, Dave. I’d been searching for hours to see if anyone had experienced the same issues with the COROS HRM. It must be something odd with me as my wife uses all my old Garmins with no problem. Such a disappointment that my arm band HRM does the same. The Verity Sense is on Prime Day deal today so I’m taking a punt. Will comment here once I’ve tried it. Ps I’m a one-time fell runner too, a member of Mercia, but now stick to road and trail races at the age of 71 due to creaky knees and hallux limitus .

Ive seen the cones before but how did you make it adjustable without altering the cone shape. Is i just larger at the bottom. Thanks for the great idea
@fellrunningguide 15 күн бұрын
Yes it's a cone rather than cylinder so it's wider at the bottom than the top. I made it to fit that particular mug. I suggest getting some paper or thin card and experimenting making cones of different dimensions to fit your mug. Once you're happy use that as a template with some aluminium (or even titanium sheeting). Thanks for watching.

Certain things about the watch I love, but the odd thing is better with Garmin. I really hoped that the optical arm strap was going to be an accurate alternative to a chest strap. Again, for a lot of the time it is, but I've also had a couple of glitches with it. So overall: very good but not excellent.

“On the flat…”?? Crossing the 430 contour line does not put one on a plateau. From 420 to 450, the slope is the same. At 430, you’re no flatter than at 420. Go to the end of the fence, walk your azimuth. If you reach 25 m past your estimated distance, begin a rectilinear search pattern.

Thanks, I found both videos interesting and informative. I'm curious, is it common for UK fell running races to require this level of navigation frequently throughout the race? Any notable ones that come to mind?
@fellrunningguide 2 ай бұрын
Glad you found them informative Rory. Most fell races are unmarked, meaning there are no temporary flags or arrows to follow and some parts are on rough ground rather than well defined trails so the runners need to either know the route or navigate it during the race. What generally happens is that people get to know the route if they have done the race before, so as long as there are people in front who know where they are going then other runners simply follow them. The difficulties arise in foggy conditions when people lose sight of those in front. The longer Lake District races have most potential for people going wrong, Wasdale and Duddon are prime examples. Most races stipulate that runners need to carry a compass and a map of the route, but that doesn't mean that everyone knows how to use them!

@@fellrunningguide Interesting, indeed I read about the FRA pack requirements and the strict rule about not using a GPS device. As a runner who has heavily relied on my Fenix watch's maps to get me through all sorts of trails, my heart sank as soon as I saw that rule! But I decided it would be fun and useful to try and learn how to navigate properly (that's why I'm here now binging your fantastic content!!) but I also am discovering how interesting I find maps and navigation. Anyway, I entered the race I was looking at-Pen-y-ghent (which I've walked before), which is only 10.5km and from what I've seen of some videos it has markings, and even a course route on the map. So I think it's a good starter race. But I do want to get out and challenge myself so I will be looking at some longer ones in the Lakes as longer-term goals and see if I can get myself into some foggy situations 😄 Thanks again!
@fellrunningguide 2 ай бұрын
@@rorysmith7211 The navigation features on your watch can be really useful to help you learn navigation skills. Eg you can try to navigate by map and compass then check on your watch to see if you are where you think you are. Also the Fenix will give you a very accurate grid reference that you can then pinpoint on a map. Obviously you can't do this during a race but you can in training. Good luck in the race.
