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.

Third comment is ga,y!

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.

Last I checked about a month ago, at least in the UK, they've reduced the free trial to 2 months only. Apologies if someone else has posted this. I also feel this has to be said, why is the sighting a premium feature? Imagine if Garmin charged you to use a feature already inbuilt in your Fenix (say sleep coach, or whatever), and these are features I use every day! It's quite an unsavoury direction some of these companies are taking. Currently, I'm considering the Finis Smart Goggle which - for now - is the opposite of this in that it's aimed at pool swims, but Finis is considering adding openwater features without the life time subscription.

I love comments but… Why do people feel the need to do it. “I do I do I do this”…. Just do it… We can’t see you nor do we need to… Love it for you.. Its a weird kind of bragging.

Garmin is a GPS tracking watch right? I feel the reason why all of these Garmin watches are sooo woeful at getting an accurate distance of your pool swim is that they use other metrics to try and calculate distance. That is the failure. Let the GPS calculate the distance Garmin!! I've been swimming with Garmin watches for over 10 years. I have swam 1km sessions in the same pool for over 500 times and the watch has NEVER gotten the distance correct even ONCE.

You have an ocean in your skin. No other explanation

How did you change the data field to display your pace per 100 too? Today it only showed the compass for me and the elapsed time. Did you just use the goggles or use it with the watch too! Thanks

Good day, I am concerned about the quality of distance counting during the "pool swimming" activity with the new Fenix ​​7x Pro Solar Sapphire... Fenix ​​7X do not correctly recognize my swimming style - crawl - freestyle, while fenix 6x pro recognize every length correctly as freestyle... Of course, my swimming style is still the same and has not changed in any way during the change of watches. Furthermore, Fenix ​​7X calculates pool lengths quite badly: sometimes they add an extra 25-75m, once they even added +125m... I turned on the circuit detection for 100 meters after 4 lengths (25 meter pool) while thoroughly checking my technique and turns, I made absolutely no mistakes and always counted much more before finishing 100m. Miscounting almost always happens with each new swim interval... This way, after finishing the swim, I have swum about +-500 meters by wrong measurement, which is pretty crazy! I also tried resetting the watch to factory settings and checking the enabled function - shot detection - ON. Problem still the same... In the past, when using the watch: Garmin Fenix ​​6x PRO Sapphire, the pool distance calculation and style detection were perfectly fine with a maximum deviation of 25-70m.

Hello i always follow your videos and advises … recently i purchased FORM 2 based on your recomendation specially for open water… could you help me to setup my watch or goggles to my swimming pool size which is 45meters … on custom distance is going to max 25??? Thank you in advance

Mr. Allen is spot on with nutrition...ESP on sugar intake; ESP on protein also. Mr. Allen is just spot on, top tier..

Simple but not easy. Train slow to train a lot. Train a lot to go fast.

It's cramp

Maltodextrin (is not derived from corn) is different from Glucose. Sucrose (standard table sugar) is 1:1 Glucose and Fructose.

Turning 60 in less than a month. I ride a bike mountain and or road 2-3x a week, lift weights 2-3x a week and play golf 2-3 x a week, stretch, core work are all important. Finished a 8 race mtb series and doing a 50 miler in September. Yup won’t stop! I’m still weigh about what I did at age 25.

I already purchased form membership, do I need another subscription to use the compass feature?

The part I'm having trouble understanding is this: is my cadence always 180 despite my intended pace? How do I keep the same cadence with different paces?

Eat food for crying out loud

Great to see Jessica join the pro triathletes 👍👍👍

Do you have to charge after every swim? Assume 45 minutes of swimming.....

interestinly enough they don't recommend over 3 servings in one day. Did you experience any heart palpitations?

Hi I used them today for the first time. On the way out it worked great [30°] on the way back calibration was off... should have been 0° and it set me at 30°. Here is my major objection... is there a way to eliminate or at least adjust the "sight for safety" popup? VERY annoying Thanks Stephen Ps. Ive got a tri this weekend -- Don't do anything new on race day!!!!! I've made that mistake a time or two😂

I think of it like this. When I was younger my 'engine' was like a 3ltr car nowadays my engine is like a Fiat Panda. I still go, just a bit slower than before. This interview should be seen by more people over 50. I summited Kilimanjaro in 4 days in 2022, nothing special about that except I was 70 when I did it. The only thing I would add to this great advice, be active but also get outside of your comfort zone in the process!!

I’m 62 years old I was 5k 10k 1/2 marathon and marathon running for 35 years and after the pandemic I the vaccine I have minor cardiac I was in my regular training of the week ( no historical data in the family never been sick in my life???) but this was 16 months ago I came back to training again and doing low carb for losing weight I’m have two months in training now and I feel much healthier than before my is to be able to run again the New York marathon last time I runs I was in good shape and I fish in 2:42 :03 in 1997 and my last 1/2 marathon in Fairfield Connecticut 1:23:15 now I just running 20 miles per week and I will be in this for more two months before I start increasing mileage on my program I never stopped running also I I’m doing traditional archery 🏹 training and hunting with the bow , ( use peace maker for my hard conditioning) fitness training Two times per week this is my history 😢

We are a minority if you fit after 50. Im in my fifties and fitter than most 20-30 year olds. Training takes effort and im sorry to say too many people dont like to put the effort in. Lazy society. But hey they make me stand out so what i say to my coworkers at work who make fun of me because im fit. " Just keep watching Netflix and laying on the couch - but the only way to be truly comfortable is to make yourself uncomfortable a few times a week".

Ha! I never realized that what I have been saying all these years had not only another proselytizer but also an actual name!
