A couple carpenter’s hammers on a pullup bar work great. A little rubber tape on the inside curve if you don’t want scratch your bar.
ParticipantAnother (minor) data point. I live in South Florida so almost my training is in hot weather. Today it will be around 90 when I start my afternoon run. From skiing in the Rockies to skiing and hiking in the Alps, I’ve never had the slightest problem with altitude. I haven’t been as high up as Roxanne, but I have done a couple 4,000 meter climbs and have spent a fair amount of time above 3,000 meters. It would be great if this heat cross training is valid.
ParticipantI got the Garmin Instinct about a month ago. I haven’t used it in the mountains yet, but for workouts and training I like it quite a bit better than my Suunto Spartan. And at $299 much better deal than Fenix/Suunto 9. Not as capable of course, no mapping, but I’d rather use a phone with Gaia GPS.
ParticipantGreat – thanks. I may try that this weekend.
Have you done the calculations at 0% incline to see how accurate the speed setting is there?
ParticipantScott – how did you determine the speed variation?
I’ve had an X11i for about a month and am generally happy with it. I choose the speed based on effort and heart rate so exact speed isn’t that important to me, but would be nice to know. Also, I’m assuming it affects the distance and elevation gain.
ParticipantThanks for the clarification.
ParticipantI’ve had a Withings for a long time. It’s so old it only does weight a body fat percentage. I’m not sure how accurate the body fat is a absolute terms, but it does seem to be pretty consistent in showing gains or losses. I’ve looked at newer ones but haven’t seen the value, but I do like the one I have.
ParticipantWondering what’s the difference between the new book and TftNA?
ParticipantThinking about this on my run yesterday I think I found the issue. I have been running/training since January and am doing much longer runs than the plan calls for. I guess that this is why every run is a Breakthrough since every run is double or more what is planned. Does that make sense?
ParticipantScott – I did Google it and that was the reason for my question, although I wasn’t particularly clear. My runs the are being labeled Breakthrough are not different than the runs I’ve been doing the last 6 weeks (either length or speed – which is slow 🙂 just that now I have the 24-week marathon plan loaded all runs are labeled Breakthrough. For example, last Saturday I ran 4.79 miles in 57 min with a hrTSS of 57. Due to an error on my part, I restarted my watch and then ran 8.46mi in 1:38 with a hrTSS of 119. The first run (which mapped to the training plan) was labeled a Breakthrough but the second was not. Is there something special about the planned workouts?
ParticipantSteve,
I just got a Spartan Wrist Trainer HR, a lower end model than yours. It takes a bit of getting used to after years of Garmin, but I’m starting to like it. On my watch you can customize screens through the Movescount.com site. Doesn’t appear to be a way to do it on the watch.
