You can set separate running power zones on training peaks. I actually prefer it to rTSS and hrTSS. It gives much more meaningful numbers based on the stress you’ve incurred.
I’ve never understood rTSS. I’ve known run training camps run up Alpe d’Huez. If you used rTSS it would give paltry numbers given you’re running slow uphill, yet we all know the real life stress would be significant. In general training that same concept applies. It’s just taking an arbitrary number by reference to a pace, with no respect to the difficulty of the route you ran.
I have no idea about Garmin running power though. Stryd has always been repeatable and reliable. Plus, as a traditional footpod, it’s excellent at giving accurate distance. Things like thr Big Half route with the Limehouse tunnel and the section through Canary Wharf mean GPS is pointless, yet stryd always gives pretty much bang on 21.1
Get your son to do the go pro - I am getting my pacers to do that - not sure I will use drop bags yet… Was planning on carrying enough spring gels between seeing crew , as thats what I have usually done anyway . wasn’t planning on carrying anything else besides nutrition . Also will have a spare pair of trainers and socks with crew. I’ll only change if it becomes a real issue ,We have got this . Hopefully we will run some miles together .
I suppose it is more important if it is consistent and if you actually try and use it to see what your running power is, but there just seems to be too many variables for it to be worthwhile and it would appear that it upsets training peaks, maybe they are more expecting values that the stryd produces?
Anyway, it can easily be disabled as follows,
Here is how to disable Garmin’s own run power value recording so it is not recorded to the FIT file for Stryd Zones data field.
Select the activity mode you want to disable Garmin’s run power (i.e. select run profile)
Before you start the activity, hold down the menu button on the watch (middle left button)
About 28 minutes up to my local radar station, then 15 minutes down. Didn’t feel like I have lost any fitness, but that would be odd.
God it felt f****n’ good to be back. Endorphines addiction and just the pure love of running, and being so lucky that I am fit and healthy enough to be able to. Happy.
Local marathon today which I went out to support. Set off later for various reasons but tried to catch up to my mate. Went on the back roads. Got to mile 20 and the only route was onto the course… It was pretty light foot traffic until the half merged in! No sign of my mate either. What an idiot. Carried on the bike ride and made use of some road closures (with no one on them) to do some efforts. 70k in 2h 30. Back home, straight out for 9k brick (2k tempo, 1k easy x3).
Just about salvaged something from the week today with a 70k bike & 4K OTBR, and a short swim later on.
Overall about 170K cycling this week, mostly IRL
20K running with the parkrun yesterday being relatively tough, and 2 swims.
I’ll take that after losing nearly 3 days with the lurgy. Need to be careful not to overdo it again and either delay getting rid of the cough or catching something else.
Forecast for next week is improving so might get some more cycling in but I’m due to help the tri club on Sunday, albeit I think that’ll be over by about 10AM.
. Hopefully we will run some miles together .
