I have tried it before and it was great for my knees. Strength training is something else... I just can't seem to get into it even though I know I should

I hate the strength sessions aswell. FOOKIN HATE!!!
 
Anyone ran into the Garmin GPS glitch putting devices into a loop/reboot cycle?

Thankfully I haven't had issues with mine.

Best to sync your device with Garmin connect before trying to do a GPS activity to avoid any issues.

Ran into it with mine and then out of normal intuition I tried to turn it off but did a reboot of the device which fixed the issue
 
Crusader said:
Yeah, apparently if it does happen you need to reboot and sync with Connect. Issue should then be solved.

My Forerunner 265 got itself into a irrecoverable boot loop. Wouldn't even turn on to synch in the first place. I was forced to perform a physical hard reset (while powered off, Press Start + Back + Light then at the first beep release Start, then at the second been release the other two buttons).

These instructions are buried deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep in the Garmin forums. Had to get instructions from DC Rainmaker.

For other people not even this works and they have to connect the device to a PC and manually go in and delete the problematic files. It is a mess.

Shameful communication by Garmin. They should have sent an email to all their clients with information about what is happening and how to fix it.

Only saw a warning message on the Connect App on my phone after the fact, thankfully no issues though.

Same here but now I HAVE to get into strength due to injury, so it's a bit of a Catch 22 situation.
I noticed there's much more wear and tear on my left shoe at the heel.
Started single leg strength and my left leg/glute is noticably weaker. Injury is also left ankle.
Good to learn these things.
 
So just an update, I got my shoes delivered from the New Balance online store, took 3 days but everything was smooth.

The worst part now is that no one has asked me whether they make me run fast! I buy a pair of elcheapo tekkies from PnP for my 3 year old and everybody notices how much faster she can run... not fair

As long as you feel faster, that is all that matters..
 
Ive just come back from the specialist. What appears to have happened in my case, is that I caused an injury from overtraining and then never stopped to treat it and have caused scar tissue in the area.

Basically no running for 6 months :crying:.

I might have to delete strava app to not get depressed.

Im so sorry to hear! Maybe try swimming and/or cycling. I found swimming helped my running quite a bit
 
Anyone else unable to log into their Brooks account? Their site keeps giving me a "You have been locked out of this site" error. I'm 100% sure I used the correct login info. Tried to reset the password, but the reset email never arrives. Once I get the locked out message not even the normal pages of the site wants to load.

Ouch. That sucks. Hopefully recovery is speedier than that and allows you to do some other activity in the meantime.
 
For those into trail, this race is amazing and it's only 4hrs from JHB and a stunning setting. 21-22 March.

I think I might have dodged something similar last year around April. Thank goodness my body pulled the handbrake and just told me, "F u".

Speedy recovery.

That really sucks, wish you a speedy recovery, nothing worse than an injury for a runner.
