Garmin watch thingy for running

114 replies

WhomessweetWhomes · 30/12/2013 20:06

I may have posted about this before, ages ago, but does anyone have one of these for running? And if so would you recommend it? I have tried various apps but find them annoying and inaccurate. Also I think I'd find a watch easier to look at while running.

Yes, I'm abxxxx :-)

I can see one other person...

I've got a goal to run 40km in 30 days going, started yesterday. Going to up it each month I hit it...

I've definitely got my settings on 'connections and groups' so I don't know why my activities aren't coming up.

Mitchy1nge · 06/01/2014 20:39

yayyyy at LAST can see someone else - are you ab something?

yes I just want to see where other people live go running!

we could set group mileage targets and stuff, everyone pile in

but why can we see some people's stuff and not others?

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new purple Garmin. May I join when it arrives?

msmoss · 06/01/2014 20:28

Hello can I join? really enjoy using my Garmin, don't know what the model is though I suspect it might be the 10 as the battery doesn't seem to last long.

How can you not look at it when you're running? Am I the only one totally obsessed with my pace? Blush

EauRouge · 06/01/2014 20:25

I can see someone else apart from Mitchy now.

WoodBurnerBabe · 06/01/2014 20:19

I'm hoping to run 3 times a week to help with general weight loss and fitness, hopefully having this to spur me on will be great!

WoodBurnerBabe · 06/01/2014 20:19

Found it and joined - can you see my runs?

EauRouge · 06/01/2014 20:19

I thought you were interested in my athletic prowess but you just want to have a nosey at my house, don't you? Grin

Mitchy1nge · 06/01/2014 20:17

it's on the garmin connect thing and it's called Team MN Connection (how inspired) and there is a picture of a cougar in the snow - you should be able to just walk right in

I don't really 'get' these groups but I keep joining them anyway, there is a tiger one too but that's not a MN one just some randoms

WoodBurnerBabe · 06/01/2014 20:15

I have a Forerunner 210, can I join your group? How do I find it?

Mitchy1nge · 06/01/2014 20:10

haven't used it but think have read it has some advantages over garmin connect

it is still just me, and the worst week or two of my running career so far (what with christmas, partying, virus etc)

annoying!

mscnile · 06/01/2014 20:04

Anyone use strava run app? Does it do more or less the same thing (but free...?)

Mitchy1nge · 06/01/2014 20:03

argh so annoying

I will try logging out and back in, garmin is a bit rubbish sometimes isn't it

am so sick of seeing my own house! I want to look at other people's maps!

Lazysuzanne · 06/01/2014 20:01

I have my privacy setting such that my groups can see my profile and my groups & connections can see my activities...I think my stuff should be showing up? Confused

EauRouge · 06/01/2014 19:56

I've changed my privacy settings but I can still only see your activities, Mitchy.

Mitchy1nge · 06/01/2014 19:53

nah is still just mine

am in a few groups and some people's stuff shows up and others not, there must be privacy thing somewhere?

Lazysuzanne · 06/01/2014 19:51

Ok, I think mine are showing?

Mitchy1nge · 06/01/2014 19:43

please can people set their activities to show though please please

is just a list of my own stuff

Lazysuzanne · 06/01/2014 19:41

I'm very flattered:o

Mitchy1nge · 06/01/2014 19:39

hello! I have started stalking you sent you a request Grin

Lazysuzanne · 06/01/2014 19:37

I have joined!
although I've not used my garmin for a while, and I only run on the treadmill...for five minute intervals, I think team MN should probably expel me Blush
I did a fair bit of swimming with my garmin swim watch...back in the summer, before I gave up swimming Blush

Mitchy1nge · 06/01/2014 19:10

hello! :) I have thoughtfully abdicated made you an administrator, can you see what the groups can actually do?

all being well I will have some activities to put in there tomorrow but I can't see yours at all, is it your privacy settings? so far it's just me walking my dog over the weekend!

EauRouge · 06/01/2014 18:13

Me, I'm in it now :)

Mitchy1nge · 06/01/2014 13:14

so far it is still a team of one, just me, the cougar, playing alone in the snow in captivity :(
