@StravaSupport why am I being spammed by loads of notifications for activity uploads, have pushed a update out with a bug?

Most runners don’t want to hear it… but your 30-40 mpw is simply not enough.

My take... EVERY BODY should walk 🚶 I program walking for my pro athletes, even though their heart rate will barely break 60bpm! 🫀 Why? There are 2 basic types of fitness - cardiovascular fitness and metabolic fitness. For many recreational athletes (VO2max < 50ml/kg/min) walking *does* offer a sufficient cardiovascular demand to force the heart to expand and deliver more O2 to the muscles and improve cardiovascular fitness. It's, IMO, underutilized as a cardiovascular stimulus for many in this regard. However, for very well trained athletes, with a huge heart and massive potential for cardiac output, 60bpm will do nothing for cardiovascular fitness. It's just not a challenge at all to their system to get that measly amount of O2 to the muscles. But... Even a simple walk requires energy. For athletes who challenge their glycogen stores on the regular with hard training, you know where this energy is going to come from? Fat. 🔥 Therefore, even a simple walk serves as an important metabolic stimulus to the body to keep that fat-burning furnace cranking. In this way, it offers important complementary benefits to the "serious" training on the metabolic side of the health and fitness equation. IOW, I don't care how fit you are, you should still spend a lot of time walking.

@SteveDawsonCKT @GarminUK @Garmin I’ve also a Fenix and the battery life just drains since the software update a week or ago. Why does it now drop 10% overnight when I sleep ?!! Sort it out @Garmin

My @GarminUK @Garmin Edge 530 is brilliant. My Fenix watch was great but now has awful battery life on par with an iWatch. I 100% won’t be buying another Garmin watch. But a big reason I’m looking else where is the app! It gets worse with each update. It’s yet down again!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

@VHilitski @BarryRoubaix1 Great work Victor 🙌 @DEFITofficial

@BarryRoubaix1 Psycho Killer is a race to remember: 100 miles of pure headwind! 🌬️🚴‍♂️🥵🥶🤬 It was a fantastic event and an absolute killer race when you push yourself to the edge (ride analysis won't lie: new FTP set, massive relative effort with average 16.1mph and 203W power). It was a constant grind, staying with a strong group and keeping my eyes glued to the road. The strong wind felt like it was trying to push me off the bike every time I dared to relax my grip on the handlebars. After my only stop to pee and grab some supplies from my hydration pack, I lost a great group of around 10 riders, with whom I'd been grinding together as one unit for ~40 miles. From then on, it was pretty much a solo mission. I had to zone out, battle the headwinds, and meticulously calculate my pace to reach the finish line within the 6.5-hour cut-off for the special Psycho Killer mug! Thankfully, my legs, bike and energy held up, and I crossed the line with less than 2 minutes to spare! Thankful to @0xDebeliou, my @defitofficial #TheFitNerds Teammate, for providing me with a much-needed 180min unlock for this activity! I wish there was an in-app marketplace already (any updates ? @ataraxiaDEFIT ) so I could've also bought a rare 20-minute unlock too, to maximize my earnings. I wish the idea of earning $defit from the race could cover all registration. But even at this point, it made almost 1/3 of the $entree fee back, which is great! Together with the many training rides I did before it was definitely all covered! Can't praise @DEFITofficial 💙⚡more for being such an increadible #web3 #fitness app for all sports enthusiasts out there! btw @DEFIT_Preacher could we add it into a #Legendary #barryroubaix #blackrocksbarryroubaix #gravel #gravelgrinder #gravelbikes #gravelcycling #michigan #gravelrace #getsome #specialized #DivergeSTR @iamspecialized @iamspecialized #web3 #hilitski_victor #bikerace #gravelrace

@xanthamgum @DEFITofficial @DEFIT_Preacher @DEFIT_F50 @LondonMarathon 😂 was a busy weekend

@Escher_Ultra @DEFITofficial @DEFIT_Preacher @DEFIT_F50 @LondonMarathon Well done! Did wonder why you were a bit quiet this weekend 😆

London Marathon with @DEFITofficial and aura from captain @DEFIT_Preacher OT - 2:37:52 @DEFIT_F50 #move2earn @LondonMarathon

@Defitmeandmykey @DEFITofficial @DEFIT_Preacher @DEFIT_F50 @LondonMarathon Thank you 🙏 - There might be a quicker Deffiter out there - 33:09 10k and 1:13:13 HM

@Escher_Ultra @DEFITofficial @DEFIT_Preacher @DEFIT_F50 @LondonMarathon Congrats! Great performance! You are for sure the fastest runner on #Defit What are your PB on 10km and half-marathon?

For your sub 4 hour marathon training It’s not about running as many miles at 9:09 as possible It’s about getting that 10:30 or 11:00 mile as easy as possible If there’s too large a gap between your easy pace and race pace Last 6 miles won’t go well

Want to spot the good runner? Find the fit looking, efficient runner going SLOW (even when others pass them). The confidence to run slow, even when you're being outrun, is a sure sign of quiet confidence and strategic thinking. I'll bet on that runner every time.

Slow in posting after a bit of recovery. Last weeks race including 100mile PB 15h27m33s. Would have earned more @DEFITofficial giving each BF a run out but stuck Koffi for the full event. Not quite the legendary run of 2023 @DEFIT_F50 #m2e #ultrarun
