I got the book, reading since evening at about 1/3 finished. Book is excellent. I recommend reading to everyone before coming here to argue about anything. You do need base line training not only below aerobic threshold but some zone2-3 biology also

If your aerobic base is solid.

I meant Zone2-3 Biology course :laugh: you need to understand words author is saying to make sense of it.

Watches don’t run

That might become a similar epic „meme“ in the sportswatch area like Bruce Lee‘s „boards don’t hit back“ in martial arts

@chrisa probably I can design some T-Shirts this message: “Keep calm, because watches don’t run”

isazi

@suzzlo and I’m already listening to “Watches don’t run” a cover of “Boys don’t cry”

suzzlo

@isazi yes, it is very catchy message

@lexterm77 Funny, this is stuff I know very well…

It’s similar to other training plans. Majority under AoT, very little between AoT and LT, some Z4 and Z5 intervals. If you put percentage under zones you basically get same numbers 80/20. Part about throwing away watch I liked because watch can’t tell you anything if you never went to a lab. Also I liked how author said the truth about wisely choosing your parents and grandparents and that doing large volume of aerobic stuff at very young age and while growing up has epigenetic effect on how quickly can you adapt to training loads and what can you do.
What else, nose breathing or talk test is useless if you are not aerobically trained.

When Killian Jornet noted if you train only 600h a year you can be good at short distances was funny.

The default map area it downloads is a 54km square centred on your location, so pretty wide

I was reading the thread and my right eye focused on that number: 54km.
I am unable to select an area greater than 42km. Why?

That’s odd, mine defaults at 54km.

Where are you looking to get this?

I go into the following:

Open Suunto App with top right button
Scroll down to ‘Map Options’
Scroll down to ‘Offline Map’ (under this in grey text it says ‘Tap to define’)
This next screen shows my local map with a 54km square. Using the top and bottom buttons on the right hand side of the watch I can zoom in to a minimum of 3km to a maximum of 10,872km (HUGE!). The middle button confirms the selction.
You can also use the touchscreen to pan the map around as well as pinch to zoom in and out.

Hopefully this works for you.

directly on the watch, probably that’s the reason

@olymay believe or not, it does not work.

Very odd. In that case, I would suggest contacting Suunto Support.

One last thought…
Is your watch storage full? maybe it is limited on how much storage is left?
I have no music or third party apps installed, so have loads of free space.

olymay

@g-q Are you able to share a screenshot? or a photo of the watch?

Just out of curiosity if you pinch to zoom out to say 20km and then you use the ± buttons are you able to restore your old default i.e. 54km?

@olymay not now, I’ll do this evening. thanks!
