Marathon Pacing Strategy - COROS Activity Screens
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.6 месяцев назад
For marathon racing on a flat course, and even split (or slight negative split) is the ideal pacing strategy. I use the "Lap Pace" data field to help ensure I keep an even effort throughout the race. This video goes into further detail on how I have the Activity Screens setup on my watch for both training and racing.

    Hi ! Thanks for the great review. Can the Coros HRM measure the heart rate without wearing the watch? Or does it always need to be paired with it during activity? The reason I ask is because, in addition to running, I also play beach volleyball. So obviously I cannot wear my Pace 3, but would still like to track my hr. Thanks!

    Ben, thanks for the video - I was expecting you to smack the box off the table at the end (LOL). I know you said you don't pause workouts. I wish there was a way to edit the pause screen data. Example, after running a lap on the track if I hit pause it doesn't show the current lap or last lap time it only show cumulative time. Thoughts?

    Enjoyed the vid. I run only slightly slower than you at 56 yo and assume we put the same force into our foot plant. How you get this mileage out of the shoe is amazing. My 3 pairs of V1 lasted about 150 miles before the sole and upper started becoming detached. Might be the tropics and I am a HEAVY!!! sweater. I have a pair of V1 at 430 that would take a close look to determine they are an AF because of all the repairs and holes. I have noticed that a pair I've worn through the cool season might make it to 200 miles before I'll be adding glue to something after every run.

      Mine fall apart after 150 usually. I live in the tropics, HEAVY sweater and run only harder sessions which are around 5:50/mile. I can get them to 400 miles with repairs after almost every run. My guess is it is the water that causes the sole or upper detachment.
