Tuesday 1st December
Santa came early and very kindly delivered my new garmin 220 - on a REST day!! busied myself with setting up the Wednesday sessions from the marathon plan so they're ready to upload to the watch now
40 mins strength session in the club gym (2 rounds) while everyone else was doing the first night of the winter league, pity I will have to give it a miss this year but will use the clubhouse gym while its free on those nights.
Wednesday 2nd December 4 miles @ 10.15, avg HR 96PBM
aggggggghhhhhhhhh OMG! more HRM sagas, this time with my lovely brand new shiny watch, which is fantastic, so light & figured it all out very quickly. The first thing I noticed about the HR strap was that it could be tightened much more so no more slippage issues right? Also its very light & comfy to wear (like the watch) however.... despite it seeming to be ok in the first couple of miles of the run somewhere along the line it dropped my HR. See below for the full set of splits from garmin connect (apologies, its a big table!)

apparently I burned 7 calories on mile 3, hardly worth getting out of bed for :rolleyes: Has anyone any experience with the FR 220? Obviously this is just its first run out so I'm not sending it back just yet but am so disappointed to have issues on day 1
I even tried doing a few fast sections to raise the HR (one of them up a hill) but nada. 0 -

Jingle bells 5k, watch time 24:50, official chip time 25:00
Splits 7:57, 8:15, 7:42
Disappointed with that, I started too slow & lost too much time in the 2nd mile. When I saw my watch & thought I had a 2 sec pb I was happy enough even tho it was off my target, but 25:00 dead on is just not good enough. Others got PBS today & well done to them.
Total miles including warm up & cool down 6.1
Followed by swim & sauna
Christmas shopping next - coal for me though!!!!0 -

Being way to harsh on yourself, this is your 3rd weekend in a row racing. You've done a tough 10 mile and XC the two weeks previous, don't care how good your powers of recovery are, those races are going to take it out of your legs a bit. You ran a PB by watch and 6 secs off by chip? Nothing at all to be ashamed of from what I can see. Bravo to those who PB'D but they haven't raced at the same frequency as you.0 -
And you're the one that gives out to me for making excuses I appreciate that, i really do, however, I should have been able to find 10 seconds out there today.
It wasn't a goal race tho so I'm just going to learn from it & move on. I had planned to try for 25 in cabinteely next week but that's definitely way to optimistic so I might have to concede defeat to the hills & wait till next year.0 -

Yes and id need to be in 24:00 min shape at the very least to do it in 25:00 so it'll have to wait till post Rotterdam now.0 -
