The main issue with the Drill log is that it tracks only time and distance. No stroke rate or swolf. I found that if I create a workout on my PC and upload to my watch and then do a workout as a swim activity it is much more accurate than just tracking a swim but it also captures all the useful swimming information. Also if you mark some set as a drill or kick set in your workout, it will automatically capture it as a drill log with proper lengths and times, which is very convenient.

You're slapping the water and over rotating

Thanks Andrew, that’s interesting, I was having problems connecting the ride I did to garmin connect.

Hi mate, can you share the comparison of each route between Desaru and Langkawi? thank you!

nope, not mine lol

Didn't work.

Mine is still frozen 😢

What about whether? Humidity?

a cheap pool noddle or bubble wrap works too

The depression may have been due to overtraining-induced low testosterone, high cortisol, adrenal burnout, etc.

What garmin type is ?

I swam 5 lengths - bothe ways and I had registered that the pool was 20 meters. So I should have gotten 200 meters. However, I only got 80 meters. I clicked on the lap button each time I took one length (20 meters). So I don’t know why it didn’t calculate correctly.

Thanks for the reminder and this is good info!

you're my inspiration!

exceptional work showing 🤙 When you do speedwork with 800 and so on.... how do you determine intensities, by pace (speed) or heart rate?

And running on hard, unforgiving man made surfaces? How is that helping keep your body strong and unbroken? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thank you, coach

This looks like an info-mmercial on late night cable TV

Can we add strides in Maff method and how much? Thanks.

Thank you for the tips and being straight to the point! Heading to my first race with this goggles tomorrow and this video helps tremendously!!

I'm just worried TP will jump in cost... Made the same move.

How do you calibrate and get your bearings for a whole race - say if you have to swim in a rectangle. From the beach I am assuming you can only see the bearing for the first leg, what happens when you turn and then turn again?

Holy uncanny valley. Peep the guy finishing the run with the aero helmet on. 😭

A $1000 watch that can't use GPS to evaluate movement direction and detect the turn around points! Pool Swim doesn't use GPS - it uses the break in your stroke pattern to recognize the turn around points. Then it uses the pool length to calculate distance. Swimming should at least try to use the GPS to figure out distance. It could use GPS to evaluate movement direction and detect the turn around points then calculate distance based on the pool length.

Hola yo tengo las gafas aún no he probado en aguas abiertas pero en tal caso de no ver la boya como se haría

Is it possible to add interval running workout in Garmin Swim 2?

Born to run!😊

many people brag about their zone 2 workouts on strava

this is not true, "drill log" is for all kind of exercises like only legs or only drills with one hand etc., so you can register exercise distance because garmin can recognise only full swimming style in the pool... not exercise, this is not a calibration thing,

Bricks are a cornerstone of good triathlon training.

Also, integrated and one-piece cockpits are a pain in the posterior if you fly anywhere. They make it really difficult take down the bars to make the box or bag a bit slimmer. Plus, if they stick out, your shifters can get dinged ... another surprise when you arrive 🤣 Cheers

Strava lol

If you were always an athlete VO2max will go down but not if you were never an athlete and you start running, hiking, biking, etc after 50 it might just go UP.

I love listening to Joe. I’m 68, inspired by him , and a rider

Spot on! It's always a good idea. Otherwise you risk arriving somewhere with a busted bike.

I am going to try to glue a mini compass(12mm) on the inside of my goggles. 4 euro's on Aliexpress. Good idea?

Thank you for the review. I have had mine for a year. But I have somewhat contrary experience. The stock plans are ok, but you really need a coach to know what drills to do. You need to do drills correct your faults but goggles don't replace video coaching. The headcoach is not as great as made out as. The screen is hard to match while your rotating. The Form score is not that useful since strongly tied to pace, and the pace is not well corelated to training zones. The Training Peaks sync is good but not perfect. For example, drills and other notes from the coach workouts on TP don't make it across and require manual edits. The Zones do not seem to adjust for pools of different sizes. I swim in both 25m and 25yd pools and the goal pace does not adjust. Problems: 1. Fogs up, and won't last. Goggles for me last 6 months before anti-fog is gone, but that is problem with the price of Form. 2. The fit is ok, but sometimes leaks for me. 3. The new swim straight is a cool idea, but since you head is moving while swimming is actually less useful than pictured.

People should brag on Strava about completing faster times with the lowest possible heart rate. That way they can still express high competitiveness but be training in the right way.

Personally, I find staying strictly in Zone 2 is not that easy unless I am constantly checking HR and power. Typically, I train alone and ride or run or swim at what feels easy and at a pace that won't gas me by the end of a workout. I live in a very hilly area, so staying in zone 2 is challenging while climbing on a bike or running up these steep hills. Walking or grinding at a very low cadence does work but is annoying since rhythm is interrupted. Anyway, I appreciate all the podcasts about low HR training.

One negative that you didn't mention, but I think is fairly obvious to anyone who has tried them - the field of view is really restrictive. This isn't too much of an issue if you have a lane to yourself, but if you are swimming with others around you, it becomes a real impediment to avoiding confusion and risks of coliding into others. It can be quite disconcerting swimming with such restricted peripheral vision (side to side and forward)

Do you need reading glasses? I’m wondering it the display is too close to my eyes so I won’t be able to focus.

I'm reviewing the 1050 also and there's a ridiculous difference in dark or indoor conditions but in direct sunlight it's not so clear. In fact, I'd give the edge to the 1040 in really sunny conditions. Nice clip! 🙌

Gummy Berry? But yeah I tasted the gel, it tastes great..only a little challenging to have it on the go while riding.. maybe cos I am not that skillful.

Strava. I used to be embarrassed if I'd post a ride under 200w's average due to ego. In 2 to 3months in summer when fit 200w's is in my zone 2 so all good. For most of the rest of the year zone 2 tops out at around 180watts so an "easy" 200w ride is anything but. Sometimes I'd be doing 100% effort in the last hour of a 3hr ride, with legs burning trying to keep my average above 200w's lol Pretending I was on an endurance ride. So stupid!

Zone 2 training worked for him doesn't mean it will work for everyone

Be careful if on a high dose of Blood Pressure meds. ... My heart wouldn't go over 120 when my GP put me on a high dose. Usually get into 150s easy. The drug was fighting me ! Always use fitness watches to monitor stuff. And if you're gonna take up cycling or running... go to the gym first and talk to a physio. Your knees will thank me ! 😂

Wonderful video except... of course, there's an except 🙄. For my own experience, Joe Friel is wrong when he says it's not until you get into your 50s typically that you realize I could use a little bit more fitness here. And now it's too late. A year ago I was 61 and obese. Modified my diet and steadily added exercise. Now, I'm 5 lbs short of a 25 BMI, my resting heart rate is down 15 bpm, and my VO2 max is up 5. Sure, I'd be even better off if I'd started years earlier; however, I was so far out of shape that I didn't just slow age related decline, I actually improved significantly and hope to continue improving for a while. I believe many are in the same situation that I've been in.

Just turned 53 been in competitive sport since i was 8 years old. The day I can’t challenge myself anymore will be my final day on my journey through this life.

The ‘mistake’ was the potato not the steak. There’s no dietary science that can prove carbs are a necessary component of nutrition - period.

Research now conclusively finds if over 50 do NOT exercise at max heart rate and intensity more than 20 percent of any workout.. less even. Irreversible heart damage occurs. This is a valid researched finding. I am a psychologist ex pro racer and research methodologist. I follow these guidelines as a 75 year old athlete.
