How Accurate is the Garmin Stamina Feature

[@EfirdStrong]

Thanks for doing this test so that I don’t have to!!

[@AlexSamuels]

You're welcome 😂, it was really interesting and in a way scary to see how accurate it was 😳.

[@Vic-sz4wx]

Thank yo.u for your sacrifice, so we didn't have to do it ourselves! :-) I am kind puzzled by this feature though. One time I did reach 1% Stamina during a ride and managed to paddle for another 5-6 kms! The Stamina remained at 1% the entire time... I guess I was able to recover enough energy each minute go go on for another minute, an so on and so on... :-)

[@AlexSamuels]

Thanks Vic; as far as I'm aware, the stamina feature shows how long you can give a full effort. I think more than saying you can't carry on, it's saying you can't give your all anymore. I gave up because I felt knackered, but I am sure I could have just kept on pushing on if I needed to. 👍

Nice setup for zwift. Bye rain, falls, cold, realworld :)

[@AlexSamuels]

Thanks, Roberto, it's a setup that gets a lot of use, I am guessing that there is more of a need for it here in the UK than over in Brazil 😂. Well from a weather perspective, it sticks in my mind that you mentioned getting hit by a car 🙈 (no cars to get hit by on Zwift). I hope you are well my friend.

@@AlexSamuels i got a car hit 3 years ago when i was road biking, after be father i have fear to get a lethal or any hit that stop my professional life. Now, with family, we need think around us. Great hug Alexandahhhh

[@AlexSamuels]

@@jftrobertoguimaraes totally get that 👍, it's a risk. But I am.a better person and better father when a ride so for me it's a trade off and I choose riding. To be fair I do a lot of riding indoors and it has a similar benefit. But I am just about to go out and do 80km with some friends. Kids really do change your life 😊👍🙈

@@AlexSamuels your indoor stuffs is a a dream kit. Super Profissional!

[@AlexSamuels]

@@jftrobertoguimaraes I know I am so lucky. Just been in Kazakhstan for over 3 weeks and I had access to a hotel spin bike. I can't complain, I was pleased to have it. But, I really did miss my home setup.

For your age you are in good shape (you look good). Looking at it I can tell you have alot of endurance.

[@AlexSamuels]

Thanks I think 🤔 😂 Kenneth, and definitely thank you for taking the time to comment 😊. I am a bit on the heavy side for a cyclist but I have been lighter and smaller and I didn't like it. I was thinking 🤔 for my age 😳🙈 . I'm only 37 (or I will be on Tuesday) but then in was just talking to my kids realising that I am getting older 😉.

@@AlexSamuels your not that old, your being modest🤭😎. As long as you keep at it, you'll be fine. I'm 27 (I'm still in my prime right now) I know I'm not getting any younger I have to discipline and take care of my body so later on if I'm 40 or 50 I'll have less problems.

[@AlexSamuels]

@@kennethjoseph9309 to be honest Kenneth at 27 I was in worse shape than I am now. I was in a proper workaholic no time for health mode which I didn't change until 2019. I'm now fitter than I have ever been. I have loads of energy and I can challenge myself physically to a level I'm happy with 😊. Keep up the good work now my friend 😊👍. But also know if it ever slips you can get it back 😊.

[@kennethjoseph9309]

@@AlexSamuels same to you. You should try doing workout vlogs sometimes, I think that will be a great idea.

[@AlexSamuels]

@@kennethjoseph9309 it's crossed my mind, see where KZbin and life takes me 🙏

[@steffpeeters]

Fenix 6 doesn’t (yet) have this feature, right?

[@AlexSamuels]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't, I think they are keeping it for the newer devices as a reason to upgrade.

[@gc641]

Thanks….its at least a guideline
