Welcome to the gang.
I'm still getting use to/ and having a hate relationship with my Garmin connect so I tent to upload once a week.
Kill it everyone0 -
So, as I can't find a way to post in the garmin group I thought I would post here. Seeing as we are all in the group I thought it would be good to share goals and future events planned so we can support each other along the way.
My goals are to improve my 5 & 10k times. I'd like to go sub 50 for the 10k and sub 23 for the 5. Event wise I have three 10k's booked for this year and one for New Year's Day.0 -
I'm not sure I really get the group - I think the administrator can put events in the calendar. I thought it was going to show all our activities (like our individual calendars) but it doesn't.
Anyway my goal now is to get my 5k time down to under 27.5 minutes which is about a 10% improvement over where I am now.
As for events - I don't have anything planned but am considering the Winchest Duathlon in March - 5k run, 20k cycle, 5k run - would love to come in under 2 hours on that.0 -
Well I'm back from wales. Didn't do any running in the end....it would have been a near death experience I think as there was no paths where we were staying.
I would like to get a 30min 5k and to run all of a 10k as I was disappointed not to this year as it was sooooo hot.
I have few runs I would like to do next year but nothing set in stone as yet. One of those is a donut dash 5k0 -
Hi - I've joined the UKMFPers group on Garmin Connect. There's also a group forum here called "Garmin Connect" - not sure how active it is TBH, been a while since I looked at it.
Anyway, I'm on Garmin Connect as Doug_T, anyone can add me, all requests gratefully accepted.0 -
added you
really don't know how to make any use of the group but I do enjoy seeing everyone's activities in the feed0 -
Yep, welcome aboard, the more the merrier!0

Hi Doug hi everyone
So what have you all been up too0 -
I just got back from a lung busting 5k on the treadmill at work. I knocked about 50 seconds off my PB so it's down to 28:31. I haven't been able to move since I sat back at my desk though.
I'm going to make a tea in a minute, but I have to walk through the whole office so I want to make sure my legs aren't wobbly and that I'm not still bright red.0 -
Well done, 27 is in sight!0

Trying to get faster! Intervals last night at the club (forgot my watch so entered manually). My wife and I have a coaching session booked for this Saturday at the Battersea running track so hopefully hoping to improve my technique and efficiency.0 -
Well done Steve as smiffy says 27 is in sight. Bright reg is never a very good colour.....also on the wobbly front you don't want to still the tea.
I've only every tyres intervals once it wasn't a nice sight.
I'm trying to get the motivation going for a run tonight. I need to be able to run about 4k min so I can join my local club. I don't want to hold others back which is why I haven't taken the plunge and just joined0 -

You should just join, you will be amazed how much ability the power of the collective group brings, joining a running club changed my ability so much. Clubs are there to support runners of all abilities you wont be holding anyone back except yourself by not joining!0 -
I don't no if it's the ability or the confidence that is holding me back.
I would like to think it will make be a better runner. I did the clubs 10k this year open to all. They were all (the ones I saw) a lovely bunch of people0 -
I take that back it is ability...I just looked and it says about joining seniors should be able to run/jog 3/4 MILES. Might be a target for January0

Hi All, I've just joined the garmin group. I've been running a while (in june ran a 100km ultra marathon and have ran a few full and half marathons). But since June my training's came off the boil, i've gained a few pounds and lost the fitness level i worked so hard to attain. So i've decided to utilise the fact that connect and MFP can sync looking forward to virtually running with you all.0

Did you manage to sync GC and MFP directly? I never got it to work, so instead, I now sync from GC to Strava, and Strava to MFP. That works, but it's not flawless, e.g. swims are just reported as "aerobic exercise". If you search for garmin connect and myfitnesspal, there seem to be a lot of complaints.0
