I'm still trying to get used to my new shoes so this morning I added some hill repeats. A beautiful morning for a run but I'm still not finding much joy in the shoes.

I’d really like to have an IOS widget for the Garmin Coach.
There is just so many things (metrics etc) a widget would be useful. None exists, though.
@twoowls73 Excellent! Tagging for #SolarPunkSunday !
Out shopping with the family and found a #Garmin Forerunner 305 for $25 at a second hand store. It has everything but the heart rate chest strap. I don't know if it powers on yet.

This is a great example of proprietary abandonware being saved from landfills and remaining useful tech through open-source software.
Why aren't there laws forcing companies to open-source their software after a ten-year-or-so period? (Money that's why.)

Germany has also 'wunderschönen' trails to run. Directly from campsite (borderland-camping) I got 250 m EG in 12.7k. Some nice trails, some covered with small bushes and nettles some steep and some easy. It bit of all, very enjoyable.
Went for some reward cake afterwards.
Nice parkrun this morning where I could release my daemons after a long time .
Not yet the PR from 2 years back (21min) but starting to get there.

Started my vacation with a long #run — out the door in the dark, turning it into a memorable #sunriserun.
Covered 27.11 km in 2h 28m 23s at a pace of 5:28/km.
Okay, die penetrante Podcast-Werbung für Join.cc hat mich endlich dazu gebracht einen erneuten Versuch mit #Garmin Coach zu starten! Mittlerweile kann das ja sogar #Krafttraining in den Fahrradplan einstreuen..
Also los, bisschen #HappyHardcore auf die Ohren und hübsch mit "Ganzkörper Zirkeltraining" loslegen!
There is one thing though. The Garmin watch recording this - a Fēnix 7 - was probably drunk. Or did I miss the waterfall/white water river we went up and down.
We definitely did not ascent 84m.
como hai novas rotondas por aquí aproveitei para actualizarlle os mapas ao trebello Garmin (Edge 520, pero hai moitos compatibles, tamén reloxos)
Xa postos, porque non lembraba o procedemento (moi simple), escribín unha nota coas instruccións e referencias, que publiquei na cápsula
gemini://gem.xmgz.eu/gemlog/2025-07-25-osm-garmin.gmi
…pero que pego aquí tamén por se a alguén lle resulta útil, pois son xenéricas:
Mapas de OSM no Garmin (Edge 520)
/Garmin
o procedemento é o descrito, pero no Edge 520 tiven que cambiarlle o nome do ficheiro .img
descargado de gmapsupp.img
a gmapbmap.img
, porque se non non mo recoñecía (ou polo menos non souben facer que funcionase)
mirar tamén que no tipo de actividade (Training, Race, etc.) estea «Activa» a función do mapa (que xa o tiña).

I contacted #Garmin customer support to find out whether they have a #recycling program for Garmin devices that have reached the end of their lives. They do, and the information is on their website, but it's hard to find. Here is the link: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/sustainability/environment/product-recycling/
Garmin also has a generous replacement program. I have a fitness tracking band that has a torn wristband and is out of warranty. Customer support offered to replace the device for $79. The closest model they are currently selling costs $150.
Feels like 102F/39C? Time for another base run.

About today's run…
Garmin:
Taper Phase Started
The taper phase decreases training volume but maintains intensity to help you be fresh and recovered.
Also Garmin:
Today's workout: 25' at threshold pace

Do you have a running or sports watch that is running out of battery? I am uk based and offer watch battery replacement and button fettling as a service, to keep them out of landfill.
I know that Garmin has excellent customer service, but some people want to keep their existing watches going for longer.
I use quality components from reputable suppliers, get in touch if you want to discuss
Recommendations on which Garmin smartwatch to buy for health monitoring are very welcome as well #garmin #LongCovid #mecfs
Considering buying a Garmin watch because they seem to have the best options for monitoring LongCovid/ME/CFS related stuff. I plan to connect it to my phone with GrapheneOS with Gadgetbridge to share as little data as possible with third parties. Anything else I should/could do to protect my privacy as much as possible? #privacy #garmin #gadgetbridge #grapheneos #LongCovid #mecfs
Calling all Garmin watch users: MIPS or AMOLED?
Why? Why not? Please share your thoughts with me.
