I Monitored My WHOLE LIFE On My Watch For 90 DAYS And This Is What I Learnt

[@wildeslothe5475]

This girl is so nice I could listen to a 2 hour show as to how showlaces are made, which material they use, why the different length, how they squeeze them at the end, why they snap, when to change them, how to remove a knot in case they get tangled and how to not get tripped on them.

[@runningchannel]

Glad you enjoy our content 😁

[@phil211293]

Sarah’s a great asset to the Running Channel. Feels like she’s committed so much to it with all of the challenges like this she does. Kudos, great content.

[@runningchannel]

We're glad you think so 😁

[@jamesdavidson4686]

Sarah is such an asset to the Running Channel, she's a natural and her videos are always very engaging. And good on her for being open about her contraception etc in this video.

[@kirstynorman]

I bought my first Garmin based on a Sarah video and am now tempted by this one. She's a great sales person 😂

[@karina_sk]

Same! 😂

[@shiraleewest1351]

I am stuck at my desk all day and struggle to get exercise in, and struggle to finish at 5pm, so using this could help me prioritise my self care rather than flogging myself at my desk.

[@Wonderkid44]

You need to prioritise it, of course I don’t know your circumstances and I won’t say too much! But when you finally take the leap and view exercise as important as work or every other thing, you won’t regret it. Bonne chancé

[@strawbecky1138]

My husband is finally getting serious about running with me but we need to get more sleep! He's training to run half marathons with me around the USA (I am running in all 50 states!) and it's been so fun having a live-in running partner! I would love to give this to him as a gift for his birthday for all his hard work! LOVE this channel!!!

[@nathaneal_z]

Sarah always sounds so excited about everything she's on about Her energy slays!!

[@sandwich0990]

Yeah everything is always « sooooo good » ;p Keep it up Sarah!

[@KwyjiboVanDeKamp]

Wear my Garmin watch 24/7. The amount of data it collects and processes is incredible! It really helps me to nail my training, recovery and sleep! I love it!

[@suchdevotedsisters6984]

It's genuinely so important to be able to step back on the intensity from time to time, to love the process not just the goals. Kudos to you Sarah for recognising this in your own life!

[@jackrigby2026]

Currently training for my first half marathon in May! I’d never ran further than a 5k until a couple of months ago but watching you guys on the channel definitely keeps my spirits up

[@hayleyle7063]

I’ve had my first Garmin for 4 months now and I’m on the 5K training programme. I’m obsessed!

[@margoruby5239]

I have grown to love her so much. Her mindset really keeps things in perspective for me

[@hiluxafrica]

Adding this comment for my wife. She would absolutely love the quality of sleep tracking. Not only does she love sleeping but with this watch she can lord it over me how my restless sleep is affecting her sleep. 😊

[@Mik3J]

So glad to see Sarah back in videos, and it's always wonderful to see the beautiful scenery in the UK during your videos.

[@billiesinclair2248]

Currently training for a half marathon and plan to run my first full later this year. Thank you for sharing your running journey Sarah, it's very inspiring!

[@eetuhiltunen9911]

Brilliant video! Thank you very much Sarah and the rest of the crew

[@nopahrefa4466]

My usecase for a garmin wearable would probably be the HRV status, catching variations in recovery and immune system activity early would be a blessing. Also having good sleep stats. Battling a sleep disorder, and half the problem is having an accurate sleep diary to bring to appointments. How would I know what time I fell asleep?!

[@Magnulus76]

I find EliteHRV very helpful, I use that in conjuction with Garmin Body Battery on a Venu SQ. EliteHRV is very good at telling me if I should focus on recovery, or if I might be getting ill.

[@jasonsmith6418]

Hi Sarah, You and the Running Channel footage have been so help this year. It has help me with my half marathon training and not to just focus on speed and enjoy your runs. I think with the new watch would help with recovery time and sleep feedback.

[@benhodge1880]

I’m recently a garmin convert and the training plans are helping massively with prep for my next 10k. A watch like this would definitely help my partner who’s coming back from long term injury and trying to get back in shape for our wedding!

[@Libby7]

was so lovely to meet you all on the weekend at the running show :) i would love to use the Venu to help me with my first marathon in April!

[@runningchannel]

Lovely to meet you too Libby!!

[@julietwistguernsey]

I've been eyeing up the Venu 3 for a while, and I'm intrigued by the messages and particularly the sleep coach. I've learned that prioritising my sleep makes me feel so much better. Another great video, thanks Sarah - and well done team on the award! 👏

[@jennachenette9039]

I think having feedback after each training session would be really helpful because even when the sessions feel easier it’s good to get a reminder that it’s still contributing to your overall fitness!

[@anytime_anyplace]

I have been using garmin for about 2 tears now, and I must say that my overall health has improved a lot since then! I even ran my first marathon. I'm very excited about the Venu 3 and your channel! Cheers!😊

[@aussiization]

Sarah's a great asset to this channel, love the videos with her.

[@coltonfyfe5508]

Sleep has always been a struggle for me and I have finally started taking my struggles with it seriously and it has vastly improved my recovery

[@osdvillar]

Just bought my first ever Garmin F55 last month and now I am obsessed in tracking my progress using it. Great to know that a more sophisticated Garmin can track your overall health progress and not just running. Would really love to have this one!

[@hersioiwamoto2013]

I've been wearing Garmin watch for sometime already ... on this 11 min video I've learned a lot more other than trying to find information on a large user's manual!! Thanks for sharing your experience!!!

[@paulbrotherton8583]

Love this one. I’ve given up drinking any alcoholic drinks since 1/1/24. I noticed my sleep score has risen from around 70 to 90-98 each night. My resting heart rate and exercise heart rate has dropped. I’m totally stoked. Love your channel and tips. Keep going crew.😊

[@BeccaLouise8]

Sleep is by far the most important factor for me at the moment, I’ve just started a marathon training block so rest and recovery are a priority! Fab video, Sarah 👏

[@mimic2585]

I love Sarah’s videos! Great content and motivating!

[@nafyepmop]

Recently started running and this channel has given me so much inspiration! It has also made me really want a garmin watch so this competition is appreciated. Keep up the good work :)

[@Alecivhnv]

I can't believe how many new and game changing health tracking features the garmin venu 3 watch has, and how it has benefited Sarah. My life is always so hectic managing work life, family life, and running life. So I find it hard to take care of my wellbeing and fitness. Winning a Garmin watch would be so so helpful to enhance my daily routine and manage my health and fitness goals. I just know it will bring me that extra layer of motivation to prioritize my health. I'd be immensely grateful for the opportunity of a garmin venu 3 watch. Love the channel, keep up the great work all of you!❤

[@runningchannel]

💪

[@donbracci2199]

Great video. The first thing I check each morning is Garmin Connect. I check how much sleep I had. I check my recovery score and resting heart rate. I also go back to the previous day's information and check what my stress level finished at. I try to modify my daily actions based on the numbers I see. I feel much better and know I am making healthier decisions because of the information my watch provides.

[@jus10ld]

I've always been so happy with Garmin on both cycling and running adventures, I'm happy to see their products evolve to what people actually need.

[@vitoriaamaral3830]

Currently training for a half marathon. Super grateful for your videos during this challenge!!

[@57EPH.]

I'm currently training for my first half marathon and you've sold me on how effective all the features on this watch would be in the process! A great video Sarah, thanks for sharing your thoughts

[@Rinnaa94]

8+ hours of sleep is such a game changer to overall health and everything in life. When people brag with ''I only slept for 3h...''

[@emiltorp]

It's great to see someone have such a holistic view on their running. You got yourself a new subscriber! (I like when the YT algorithm finally works to benefit both me and your channel)

[@HafuDiablo]

I had an injury which took me out of running for over a year and I'm now getting back into it. I really love data tracking. I find it very interesting and insightful. Great video :)

[@jonasthomann4832]

Monitoring my HRV and running by heartrate instead of pace made the biggest change in my running performance. Couldn't live without those two features!

[@jonathanconn214]

Great video as always.

[@corijohnson7444]

I feel like this watch is a natural extension of what I try to do with my Forerunner data. I really like the messages that pop up to help you stay mindful of your activity and rest. And yes, Sarah! Sleep is my religion.

[@janiceclark1039]

I use my watch very much in the way Sarah described. It was really helpful recently when my sleep was disturbed for a few months by my elderly dog being ill. It helped me decide when and how much to train and when I really needed to take a break.

[@rachelkellers6076]

Love the way you explain all the features in such a simple and easy way to follow!

[@jlenci7616]

Currently trying to determine which Garmin to purchase. Enjoyed your review!

[@danis6825]

Love love love your videos Sarah - you are a ray of sunshine!

[@gabsgames90s]

This is right on time! I was just starting to look at these watches to help get some coaching for improving cardio fitness. It's really great to see your thought and how you used all of those features for your workouts.

[@melaniedickinson7231]

Great content as usual 😊

[@beithecalltainn5252]

Love your honesty Sarah! And so nice to hear someone saying the importance of the rest of your life on running and vice versa. Just started running to improve my mental health and it's making me take notice of other aspects of life I can work on as well.

[@sabinapodversich5282]

Another great video. I have been using Garmin 245 since 4 years ago and I love having my records and compare it year by year. thx

[@nataliegarcia4836]

I’ve been thinking more and more about getting a Garmin watch. I love all the features it has!!

[@jasons4545]

Sarah thank you! I'm new to running and your content has been instrumental for me to know how to improve

[@ada7262]

Just discovered this channel, it is so motivating and helpful !

[@thelad6338]

Thank you for sharing your watch insights!

[@kennedyadamson2655]

Love watching your videos and seeing how the company/channel/podcast have grown over the last year. I love how TRC are always informative and relative, and Sarah is such an asset!! She's committed and her honesty is second to none. Would love to join the Garmin family, hopefully sooner rather than later!!

[@Marie-LaureBaroud]

I love this video! I have most of these stats available on my Garmin Forerunner 265S and I love looking at them to see my whole life balance improving!

[@patsykun]

I've been trying to figure out how to prioritise and act on health goals this year and this video was really helpful!

[@jameshehir5107]

Such a good review, love the features on the watch 😊

[@MariaReyes-iv2db]

I'm working on sleep just because of Sarah! She's great!

[@sandwich0990]

These sleeping graphs and tips are gold! Would love that!

[@josu8107]

Nice video! Garmin always offers really outstanding features

[@tanadonsim]

Started to run more frequently this year and was just looking at the Garmin forerunner watches to track and improve my perfmormance. This video has been informative and helpful!

[@carolbrough9787]

2 years post burn-out and serious illness and I'm still struggling with finding a new rhythm with my body that has changed. Tempted by a watch like this that seems to encourage and not entirely focus on running. Another great video, thank you Sarah. You're always a joy to watch 😊.

[@runningchannel]

Sorry to hear that! Hope you recover quickly

[@carolbrough9787]

@@runningchannel we all have our ups and downs. Your channel and all of your presenters are helping to keep me motivated to keep at it (gently). Thank you!

[@osamazaid5784]

[@philjones7927]

Great video. Garmin doing great things right now

[@sleeplessbird]

I’m just starting off with running and training for my first 5k in May! Didn’t think that much about sleep until now. Great video!

[@gingeral]

It’s great to see the messages the watch gives - that will defo help with motivation 🙌

[@FionaWilson-l7g]

Great video, love Sarah's content. Would love to use the sleep feature as it's my favourite activity

[@eddiecruz9139]

Love this content I had garmin once and it is for me the best watch out there and the screen looks so smooth now I love it!

[@splatmatt]

This watch really wasn't on my radar; until now (I want it). Sarah demonstrated some real strengths of this watch that certainly adds motivation beyond delivering an abundance of stats. Sarah, thank-you for being real about your running! :)

[@BananeeSplt]

Great video Sarah and the Running Channel! I think I would use the watch to help keep me motivated with running and use their tips to help recover and to see their input afterwards! Majority of the time, just watching your videos motivate me to get up and run!

[@JamesDyck-f3c]

Another great video! Thanks guys :)

[@willemijnrush4426]

Garmin is a must need for everyone! Would love to use these new features to prep for my first marathon!

[@cookierinie]

Great video! I'm planning on running my first 10km this year. I've mildly injured myself going too hard too fast before so garmin's training and recovery insights seem like an awesome feature.

[@mawolf87]

Having worn an Apple Watch for 3 years, some of the features youre talking about on the garmin sound like a huge upgrade! I’m just getting into running and winning this watch would be HUGE at helping me!!!

[@vinnyg7555]

I'm currently training for my first official Half Marathon. It's daunting but your videos have helped me so much in structuring my training. I love the body battery score on this watch.

[@danievanzyl6663]

Have a Garmin 55. Always check my sleeping time, body battery and my running info for my runs, time, pace, heartrate, etc. Not as grand as the Venue 3 but still give some good info. Thank you Sara.

[@Kristybanks783]

Agree sleep is so important! Best part of a long run is the nap that follows!

[@fpdizzle]

I’ve recently restarted running again following 6 months of a period of illness. I’ve found the Acute Load and Load Focus stats really help to see when I’m pushing too hard. It also helps as my recovery times are longer at the moment whilst my body is still recovering. I’ve also learned to listen to my body much more as I slowly start to build my stamina back up and try not to overdo it too quickly.

[@denisescholtz5636]

I think the great thing about the Venu 3 is the integration of fitness and wellness. How our sleep, day (and menstrual cycle for the ladies) can all factor in to how our training goes or also how to adjust our training according to these things. Love that Garmin is factoring all of this in! Thanks for the great video ❤

[@sofielagrone9366]

Great information on all the functions of the watch. I am looking into getting a watch for running but also to get information about overall health.

[@carolapantarotto7152]

You manage to motivate me so much, i started running thanks to your videos a few years back now, so please keep doing what you’re doing ❤!

[@rheasruthi7748]

Big fan of your podcast and videos! Looks like a fantastic piece of running kit would love to test it out!

[@chrisspry7903]

The sleep coach function sounds awesome! Definitely something I need to keep me on the ball with not staying up too late and wondering why I’m sluggish the next day! The set up on the watch looks super simple too which makes life easier too. Win win!

[@phillippasmall5149]

As a shift worker: I’d love this watch to help monitor how well I am looking after my body and know when is best to push harder or when it’s more beneficial to pull back :D

[@nataliadecker549]

absolutely love the display and the sleep coach feature!

[@dishingthedirt613]

Brilliant video! I’m at the very start of my running journey and this was very useful 😊

[@richardbutterworth3714]

Wow. I’m so impressed with the functions of this watch, I’d definitely try and do something similar as I need some structure in my training. It’s a great channel. Keep up the excellent work.

[@JesperDalsgaardDK]

Thanks for yet another interesting and inspiring video 🎉

[@Eassogna]

I switched to Garmin last year, best decision. SO much more info to use to apply to my training.

[@Uhrl5-9]

I really enjoyed watching this video! I was thinking about getting this watch before .. now I'm sure that I need it!

[@KC_rocka]

Love watching your videos, they help keep me motivated to keep running. The training readiness seems like a really good feature that I would like.

[@debbieelliott2576]

Loved this video. It's great to see how you've used the data to improve your lifestyle, and how much you learned!

[@chocoholic419]

Thanks for sharing the watch and how it fit the running scheme! Hoping to get more active this year

[@DaveyKnavey]

I have the original venu and I absolutely love it. Sleep tracking and workout tracking are the two features I keep my eyes on the most.

[@mairib4023]

Recently came across the channel and podcast and its really motivated me to get back into running. Started to understand that sleep and recovery are way more important than i ever gave them credit for and seen these help me improve my runs almost straight away!

[@runningchannel]

Really glad we've been able to help! 😁

[@ericdewaard1654]

You did an excellent job explaining how you use it, Sarah! The overall features of the watch will make it much easier to get to and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Because everything is displayed clearly and with a boatload of information, you have a fantastic tool at your disposal; who wouldn't want one of those?!

[@michaelandereck236]

Currently wearing a Venu 2 - it's a great balance between smart watch and running watch. I think I've gained the most insight about my daily stress levels and sleep quality. I can also feel how the food (and/or drink) I consume affects how I feel and sleep as well. That's been able to help me make better choices and know what I need to recover.

[@bernalgorithm]

I really like the detailed breakdowns these new Garmins provide. I loved these watches initially because of GPS run tracking, but now I'm more interested in what my body is doing when I'm not excercising. Thanks for this review, Sarah!

[@alicecho4752]

I love the fact that the watch gives you information on what the run did for your overall fitness. As a uni student I don't always get to run as much as I would like, so plans don't really work for me.
