I think he’s referring to @SidSnot being in imperial!

Yeah - that bugs me with Strava.
If I’m set to proper units which make sense, then I’d like all of my followers to know that I’m not insane.
And on the flip side, I’d like to know who I follow is an utter mentalist and measures their activities in furlongs and yards and leagues.

8 furlongs to the mile, 80 chains

So there are actually 10 chains to a furlong, that sounds almost metric, shouldn’t it be 12 or 13 or some other random number?

Nice 49 furlong run this morning…1769 yard warm up then 4 nautical miles steady and 2640 feet warm down

Should be, very odd, or even, even.
Remember that a Nautical Mile length varies depending on lattitude: it is 1/60th of a degree, and since the world is not a perfect sphere it is shortest at the equator

Should probably be in the Garmin thread but I’ve noticed that despite my watch being set to metric for everything, whenever I’m on ‘Trail Run’ and tracking distance in kms, it still insists on ‘buzzing’ me whenever a mile passes.
It only does it on Trail Run

You have autolap set to 1.608km. Usually means the autolap was setup before the switch to metric.
Autolap every km is too oftem anyway, I have my run profile setup like that.

Thats odd. The auto lap and alerts should ve set to the same units as the main screens. They are on my Fenix 5

Back on topic. Last year I did my 1300km ride around Switzerland 5 weeks before Challenge Roth, and I think that my great bike performance in Roth was largely due to this ride. Unfortunately this year, I don’t have the time to do another 4 day adventure, but I am hoping to get a similar benefit from my very long one day ride, this time just 4 weeks ahead of Roth.
What do other people thing? is it just something that suits my physiology? is it all mental, or is there some science to back it up?
I felt very good on this ride, even at the end, I was able to hold 250w on the Albis Pass Climb (after 325km). Today my legs also feel pretty good.
I have never set any auto lap to miles on any of the profiles. All my auto laps are kms.
It must be a factory preset, I will investigate.

Pretty I have the same thing on my 6.

That’s what I always thought and that syncs with every other profile, except Trail Run, which is odd!
If there isn’t a huge fitness gain to be gained from it I do think there’s a good mental positive to take from a ride like this.
180kms with proper fuel will be a cakewalk now

Did a jog:
1/3 League warm up
3 x 3 furlongs @ race RPE (20 chain cool down)
200 rods relaxing down to walking pace
A bit warm now.
Forecast looks good for Sunday

Got a couple of days off
Going to try a brick/CPD combo this morning. Laps of watopia flat route is the plan.
Interesting to see which cracks first, the will to hold 240W in TT position, or the will to listen to someone drone on about the day job.
If the legs are up to it after 2 hours may try a short trot outside in the real world
Edit, 1 hour in , 245W av on Garmin pedal, not really feeling the love today but going to press on for now
Edit, 90 mibs, 241, suffering, not sure will make 2h
