Interesting, for me it’s predicting times that seem too fast:

Maybe if you add 10-15s per km & scrub the mara off the list completely :smiley:

edit: @Adam maybe it has got us mixed up, think your times look about right for me

Love how Bongo has knocked 31 minutes and 53 seconds off his predicted marathon time in the last 30 days.

You broke the algorithm sir :smiley:

I think it’s more reflective of how crap the algo is! :joy:

I know you’ll probably sand bag, but out of interest what sort of marathon time do you think you could go out and run off almost zero training?

Haven’t you got form for that sort of thing- spitting out a 2h50 or something ridiculous iirc?

I think the accuracy improves if you actually run regularly and on consistent courses :joy:

I compared the Strava performance predictions against Garmin’s and the only one have matches is the HM. Garmin predicts a 3:08 marathon compared to Strava’s 3:21. Based off the me missing 3 weeks of training and that is what Athlete Intelligence is using then it seems fair. Jury is still out though

I guess there are lots of factors, and flavours of ‘no training’. Had i tried it last weekend, with genuinely low mileage (and no cycling etc) then I’d probably say i’d be confident of going under 3:30. Depending on how the pounding on the legs held up, maybe closer 3:20. Hard to say really.

When Strava realises you’ve been sand bagging again.

Even Strava is onto you now! :slight_smile:

Reckon you are being a bit modest which is fair enough, but I’d put money on you being faster than that.

Life’s not fair :cry:

I think they’re probably a bit punchy at the moment. If i get some running in for another 4 weeks i’ll start getting close i’d hope.

Yeah, but it waited until after he’d paid for another 12 months

It saw your run workout the other day and assumed you had been hacked
