Anyone know of a local online store that has the Coros Heart rate monitor for sale and in stock? Google search hasn't been helpful. I'm considering getting one for the days where I don't want to bother with a chest strap. I could import from Amazon.com, but want to see what local options are available.

Coros local site shows as sold out.

I mean it looks nice to have. I like the segments leader board thing but I cant really justify just paying for that xD

I think the most useful thing for me is the run matching so you can see your improvements over time.

Is his plan pretty hardcore

longer runs, and then he always hits you with like a speed session on like a Monday xD

Ok so before I can do a garmin training plan for a marathon its recommending that I first do a 10k plan.

Avg pace currently 6:41km .

Whats a good pace to aim for in a 10k?

Will probably go with coach Greg

Would putting down 5:00 as a goal pace be suicide

Did a 5k charity run yesterday dressed as an elf. It was horrible - cold and windy with horizontal rain, and a lot of standing about waiting before the start. Really struggled with the run.

Rest day today, much needed...


Tomorrow's scheduled Runna workout looks like a bastard

yes.

if you current average is 6:41, I think a way more realistic pace is 6:00

Unless you naturally gravitate to run at that pace then I would say yes. You can 100% achieve it with a decent amount of time but i would not advise that starting out.

What is you weight and height btw? That really matters as well.

As I said before it should be doable. My average easy pace runs were 6:30 and I managed just under 5:00 as PR. Don't remember that I pushed myself to the limits to achieve it. Think it was tough, but still had gas in the tank left.

This was 30th April so lost some weight

F you. I hate you. You are already primed and ready. Just get there gradually and don't get injured but you can deffo have that as a goal.

182 and 95kg here

Tbh haven't been running often enough. Will probably just listen to garmin suggested workouts this December.

That is a very decent strategy

1km warm up at a conversational pace (no faster than 8:10/km), 90s walking rest

1.2km at 7:15/km, 90s walking rest
1km at 7:10/km, 90s walking rest
800m at 7:00/km, 90s walking rest
600m at 6:50/km, 90s walking rest
400m at 6:45/km, 90s walking rest
200m at 6:30/km, 90s walking rest

1.2km cool down at a conversational pace (or slower!)

Not really a 5k pb, just the fastest since I installed Runna
