It could be down to which Garmin product you have then. I have the FR 235 which uses Firstbeat's algorithms to determine calorie burn.That seems intuitive, but Garmin says:
"...The Garmin fitness device uses this (activity class) information along with gender, age, weight, height, and lifetime athlete settings in order to calculate the calories burned during a given activity...."
No mention of HR.
https://www.firstbeat.com/en/consumer-product/forerunner-235/
I have the 620. I have no idea how it works. I just have observed that the calorie calculation overshoots it (or I eat too much and am sloppy at tracking it) to lose weight. Haha! Cheetos, donuts, and ice cream don't help any either. But I feel like I should be able to eat ALL of that if I'm running 20+ MPW. But sadly that's not the case.
ETA My watch has all those features. DH has the 235 also. I just know I'm not burning as much as he does.1 -
I just figured out how to set run/walk intervals on my Garmin. Look out world, the interval queen is ready.
Also, I will probably not even hit 50 miles running this month. Stupid injury. Oh well, with all the walking miles added in I'll be over 100.6 -

Gone for almost 5 months..dropped out about September when work got crazy but unfortunately stopped all running.
Beginning at C25K level again. So the goal is small and will mostly be walking vs. running.

@garygse I know this is a dead horse. I did change my activity level and maybe that's all it is.
A year ago the same run
6.45 miles vs 6.35,
73 minutes vs 77 minutes,
traning effect 2.8 vs 5.0,
570 calories vs 812.
Hr average both ~160 but max is lower on the run a year ago. Because I'm not back 100%. Yet.
So I wonder how much of my 800+ calorie burn estimate is activity setting, or is there really something in the data that suggests I burned more- because the run was harder. *Shrugs* Maybe so. That training effect has been spot on as far as I've noticed.
Anyhow, thanks for the help. I'm still not eating the 800 calories even if they are real!0 -

Welcome back! Glad you can get back into it.0 -
Welcome back @GBrady43068! It's never too late to start running again.1

Your HRMax and training effect seem the culprit. Those hearts are crazy, I tell ya! You go between easy and medium effort and the heart shouts out "Seventy Five" in the cryptic metabolic function the heart inputs to, but then you hit a hill and your HR shoots up and your heart shouts out "WTF IS THIS...257 BAZILLION AND A HALF" into that same formula which I don't think expects fractional parameters.@garygse I know this is a dead horse. I did change my activity level and maybe that's all it is.

Today was a very soggy 7 miles. It's the first time I've knowingly and willingly ran in the rain! It started raining steadily about a mile in and let up a little when I had about a half mile left. I wonder if drivers passing me by thought I was crazy...
I just couldn't wrap my mind around doing 7 miles on the treadmill! I think 5 miles is my max on a treadmill.

This is something I actually find rather interesting, but as no company is going to release their algorithms to show how things are actually calculated, it can take some tweaking of settings to eventually get things in the right ballpark. One of the key settings I tried to get as accurate as possible was the max HR, and that can only be done with hard work and lots of sweat and tears (and in my case, cuss words). Then I adjusted the HR zones (I use heart rate reserve), and finally, I keep my body weight updated. After that, I can only rely on letting Firstbeat's algorithms do their thing.
Yeah, it's not perfect, but I've found it to be relatively consistent to my activity levels. And I too have noticed that Training Effect seems to have adjusted itself appropriately as my fitness levels have gone up. I do, on the other hand, have a tendency to eat back a lot of the calories...which is probably why these last few 'stubborn' pounds haven't really been going anywhere, lol.

April goal: 91.1/100 miles
I'm noticing on days I'm pressed for time, my runs feel fantastic and I'm disappointed I have to stop. However, on days where I actually have time & try to plan a longer run, my body just isn't cooperative and I end up just doing my regular average distance. ARGGH!1 -

Hill repeats for group workout tonight. 20 minutes of them! Plus warmup and cooldown. Love the Monday groups because people bring their bling from their races over the weekend/week. Some very cool medals this week including one guy with his from Boston (he qualified again) and an awesome 50k medal. Inspiring!4 -

WhatMeRunning wrote: »One thing I have noticed in my training, and can't say it works for all, is when I do a steady build over 3 weeks to new mileage compared to just running my new target mileage for 3 weeks is that I feel better at the end of that 3 week period when I do the target mileage over the 3 week period than when I steadily build. I have a theory why, but it's just my observation. The first week is the most tiring, but your cardio adapts and by the 3rd week it is easier than the 3rd week of a slow build, as each week building up you have to adapt again. I think your strength gains are better off also as you get 3 weeks at that effort as opposed to 2 lower weeks and one at target.
This in no way means it is for all. But I have experienced it and for whatever value tools like Sport Tracks provide that show your fitness adaptations and fatigue, the results on those tools seem to back it up.
The trick is to know how to build up the right amount and not just jump into too high of mileage that the first week at new mileage is more harm than good.
Of course, much is to be said with going with what you know will work and you are comfortable with. I know I'm comfortable with my plans and have seen them work, but what works for one may not work for others.
Just thought I would put that out there because I'm not sure it has been discussed here before, and I have found it pretty interesting. I'm not saying it's right, just thought I would solicit others opinions.
This is actually the method that Jack Daniels suggests for increasing mileage.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnEI8MPVOas
@Stoshew71 Thanks for that! That's brilliant!
I've never understood the 10% rule.
Love this, so I'm writing it out.
Increase your weekly mileage by the number of runs you do. e.g. if you run 5 times, increase by 5 miles. If you run 7 times, increase by 7 miles. But only increase by a maximum of 10 miles (e.g. people who run twice a day 7 days a week should only increase by 10 miles.) And once you increase your mileage, stay at that level for 4 weeks, so your body has time to adjust to the stress. Don't increase every week, because you'll be continually increasing stress.
Hmm, I can't really do miles. I might use this in kilometres to be on even safer ground.0 -

I got a short run in today. It was just a little over a mile, but it put me over my goal for April. I may not get to run tomorrow, but I should be able to get in one or two more runs before the month is out.

7.99 km ( being 10m short is going to bother me ) Track Session doing repeats with 4 other club members.
I must qualify that - I was doing 6 x 400m repeats and they were doing the dreaded Pyramid Ladders, 400, 800, 1200, 800, 400 with 400m or 800m rest between speed sessions, the 1200m are hard to maintain. Since this meant I would finish first I added in some slow laps at the end which amounted to another 3 km.
My Ham String barked at me once on the 1st repeat when I got below 5:00 min/km. Pulled it back and tried to stay around 5:20 min/km. Then on the last 400m Lap I really pushed hard and
PB of 4:33/km = 1:48 for 400m.
Strava said.
Best estimated 5k effort (29:12)
Best estimated 1/2 mile effort (4:15)
Best estimated 400m effort (1:48)
2nd best estimated 2 mile effort (18:33)
Times per 400m 1:59 ^ 2:12 ^ 2:03 ^ 2:11 ^ 2:08 ^ 1:48
Pace per 400m varied from 5:30/km to 4:33/km.
The 4:33/km surprised me.

Travel day tomorrow to Edmonton for work. Hopefully I can get a Brick Workout in ( swim 1k & run 10 k )
Will use it as a chance to shop at the Running Stores and a Bike Shop for a new Road Bike. We have no real Bike shops in my town. ( I don't consider Canadian Tire or Wal-Mart as real Bike Shops ) Quite often some of the Running Stores have Mid-week Popup mystery or organized runs so will be dropping in with my gear on.5 -
Had a great 10 mile run on Saturday with no calf pain, but now my IT band is bugging me. Ugh...so frustrated.
My left leg is apparently out of whack, but insurance doesn't kick in until I spend lots of money so PT will be completely out of pocket. I'll probably break down and start going again soon though.
Walked yesterday and rode my actual bike for the 1st time in ages this morning. My son likes to ride his bike to school sometimes. Normally, Hubby rides with him, but he couldn't today so I did. I ended up riding after I dropped him off and went for almost 10 miles. I may need to make a habit of this. It was way better than the stationary bike at the gym.
I also took some Texas Bluebonnet pics on my run this weekend. It was such a great run while running, and I ended up finishing the last 2 miles with another lady who is doing her 1st marathon soon in France!! I rarely have company on runs so it was fun to have someone to chat with.

@mobycarp - thanks for reminding me about @ohhim BQ. I vaguely remember that now.
@WhatMeRunning - yes, those were such fun runs!
@skippygirlsmom - I'll try to post some pics!
Back to my usual 4:30 run. It was really nice out! Almost the same temps as in London!
While on my vacation and running with my daughter I went a lot faster and didn't check my HR the way I do when I am alone. I never had time to study what my HR did on those runs but hope to do that soon - once I catch up with my work.
I have had 3 friends have heart attacks in the past 3 months (one a cyclist, one a runner and the last a couch potato). They all survived, but it got me so nervous about my own heart. So I went to a cardiologist who thought I was a nutcase when he asked me why I was there and I said "because my friends are all having heart attacks". He said ... well, you have no family history, low blood pressure, low cholesterol... so you have little chance. And I said well, same with 2 of my friends and they still had one. So he said if I wanted I could pay for a test called calcium score - so I did. I got the results the day I left for vacation - I got a score of 0. Which means I have no plaque or calcium built up in the arteries. So I have very little chance of having a heart attack in the next 10 years. The only scary thing is the radiologist noticed a nodule on my lung.
So now I have to get a different kind of cat scan or something or other to make sure it is nothing. They said it probably is nothing - but you can't just ignore it. So need to schedule that.
Anyway, that was a long way of saying I think I am comfortable pushing myself again on runs and cycling. I realize I was holding back because of my friends having heart attacks. Ridiculous I know... but it is what it is!

Monthly Goal: Stay "healthy" and get in good marathon training
Nominal Mileage goal: 191 miles.
Today's notes: Today's assignment was 4 miles a E pace and 4 strides. Ran my miles in 38:36 for an average pace of 9:38. HR was a little higher than I wanted, at 153, but still in the E range. HR may have been due to me dressing warm for the weather.
With it being cool out, and wanting to get some heat acclimation running in, I've been running some of my runs overdressed, just to get used to running while too warm again. Hopefully I'll get lucky with a cool race day, but until I know for sure, I'm working on coming up with ways to train for warm weather, while it's cool/cold out.

Today's run with the group was extremely relaxed, as the faster-paced runners were a no-show. Tomorrow and Friday I'll be back to the longer runs as I begin to slowly ramp the mileage back up again.
In other news, I hit my goal 5 days early, although I knew I was being a little bit somewhat conservative trying to take the HM race in the middle of the month into account.

@MNLittleFinn Thanks man! I keep taking it slow and steady, and the miles quickly add up. Soon I'll need to adopt an actual marathon training plan, like maybe in June to give me four good solid months of proper training...although I do prefer to just keep running long distances.
You're doing great also, and your June marathon is just around the corner!0 -

Thanks. Yeah, I'm actually starting to get to the point where I'm excited about the marathon, but then no rest for the wicked, I'll have to jump back into training after a minimal rest time. It's going to be a crazy/awesome summer!1 -
