Awesome running Andy! Super pumped about Coros joining your training regimen. Can’t wait to get more insights and stats in the future-it’s going to be great!
Garmin missed a trick with andy. He has been wearing that garmin for years and I always thought why are they not getting him on board! Fair play to coros! Big man deserves it with work he puts into this channel 👏
Another fantastic week of training Andy, you're in such great shape for Abingdon. I've used the coros pace 2 and heartrate monitor all this year and absolutely love it. The heartrate is so accurate 👍
I've been using Coros for nearly a year and can't see me switching back to Garmin. It's very runner focused and doesn't constantly try to tell you how to live your life like some of the pricier Garmins. Great shout on the bicarb company. Dawn is looking into that.
Awesome, sounds like you’ve got some vast experience with it already! I’m looking forward to building up some data in the app 🤘 Yes do check them out, they seem to be doing great things!
I went back to Garmin as found the Coros pace 2 screen just too Small along with scrolling system a bit hit and miss and the 255 I went for with multi band gps is I feel far more accurate . My old 935 is a good backup but for the money the 255's a winner. Will be interesting to see how you get on with the Coros. I've gone back on my (second hand) Treadmill for my main quicker rep's session per week, would be interesting to see a video from you on how you use your treadmill. Ian
Oh really? That’s interesting! For me, as you’ve seen, I’ve gone from an instinct 2 to this, it feels like an insane upgrade and all the extra features are welcomed, but will definitely take some time to get used too for sure! Yes someone else asked about the treadmill, I will sort that soon, but it might be after the marathon block
Be interested to see how Hr monitor compares to Polar. I’m more than happy with my Polar arm strap & would take a huge improvement to consider splashing out.
So far, as per my feedback here, I’m finding the responsiveness better… as is when I level off the top of a hill and start going downhill my HR readings are dropping much quicker, it’s like the polar one seemed to have a lag that I never noticed! But then that could be the age of it as it was over 3 years okd
@@TheFODRunner yes polar does have a lag by a few seconds (you can tell when looking at an interval, the max Hr reading will actually be in the first few seconds of the rest period) I’ve kind of just gotten use to it.
more phantastic running👍i can`t relate much to the overboarding tech, which is flooding into the running scene. To be honest this is one aspect, when i am grateful to be old and not have to either go with the flow or getting left behind. I understand all the hype but it is nothing i want to be a part of......the baking soda is not nutrition but a way to reduce the acidity in the muscles to let let them work longer before the pain makes the run slower. I am quite surprised that your stomach did not explode, be careful with that stuff
Thanks Thomas! For me, it’ll just be nice to have something reliable in the forest in the height of summer when tree coverage is at its thickest! As for the bicarb…. Yes I was anticipating bad results but it’s mixed in with a hydrogel formula, same as the maurten product so it’s injested easier
I love my pace 3! The training load suggestion is great and the base fitness level is great as well. I felt my garmin was too annoying tbh 😅 it's only missing a bloody shoe tracker! C'mon coros! Not everyone uses strava.
Hey Andy, I think your videos are fantastic but I have a question. You live in such a beautiful part of the world, how come a lot of your runs are around trading estates and road. Mine fast are on road as its easier and more often is flat is the same for you? Many thanks James
Thanks so much! Only the last 6/8 weeks have been really focused on the estate… that’s because my trainings become “marathon specific”… so I’m basically in the final specific phase where I try and replicate marathon terrain. If I need to practice marathon pace, I need to do it on flat road, not trails. It’ll change once the marathon is done! But all my other runs in the week are trails if I get out in the daylight 👌
Tip for the bicarb - prepare your own capsules. This gets rid of the foul taste and the costs are less than 0.35 EUR (30 pence) per 'serving' (about 20 grams of bicarbonate in 12 size 000 capsules). I would not use bicarb too often though - there's a lot of sodium in there!
@@TheFODRunner I personally just use it for races 5k and below - for this the science is quite strong because they have an important anaerobic component (especially 400m-1500m). Not too sure about marathons.
@@jbtl1130 yeah I won’t be using it for the marathons but when 5K season comes back around I’ll definitely give it a whirl before racing! Thanks for sharing, it’s great to hear your experience
Really? See for me, that shows how poor the garmin app is, because instantly one of the best things about coros is the app… it’s insanely better than the garmin one! But obviously the app is different to the watch itself, just saying the app is more intuitive in these early days of testing! Watch testing continues 👊
The “push” is where you kick on a bit faster, so you “push the pace” a bit faster…. So 5K at MP, 1K push a bit faster than MP then 1k float a bit slower than MP
Finally someone paid for you to get a new watch 😂 no more GPS issues in the woods 🙌
Thanks! I hope so haha!

Thanks buddy! That’s good to hear your thoughts on coros as well!
Awesome Andy, thank you for the great review! We're glad that the first trials went well and we hope that it continues that way. Josh
Thanks so much Josh, appreciate it more than you realise 🤘
Training is perfect for the marathon Andy. One marathon specific day, one quicker day and a long run and you can't go wrong!
Thanks buddy 👊

@@TheFODRunner yes that predictive data is uncannily accurate. It had my 10k within a few seconds.
@@TheFODRunner the race predictions are uncannily accurate
@@tworunningbrooms I’m waiting for a weeks worth of data, but after 5 days it already has me down for a 2:44, which I’m impressed with!
I love the end of peak week.. all the hard graft done. Just need to keep healthy and get to that start line raring to go! Yaaaas!
Thanks buddy, looking forward to 3 weeks time now
Great session. You’ll be flying come your marathon.
Thanks!
Love it! You got this…!
Cheers buddy!
COROS Pace 3 and arm band is my setup. I've been really happy with it.
Awesome to hear 👊
tremendous progress. impressive stuf.
Thanks Michael 👊
Well done on another cracking week Andy - what’s your pacing strategy?
Thanks! I talked about my pacing here - ruclips.net/video/fE4rWzURLBo/видео.htmlsi=JHI9gMZVdzMxJcck
Awesome training block Andy
Thanks buddy!
4:07 k float! I can only dream of that. Nice job man.
Thanks!

I do belive you are able to bulk load workout data from your old Garmin to the Coros app :)
Oh really? I’m going to look that up now!
I love my pace 3! The training load suggestion is great and the base fitness level is great as well. I felt my garmin was too annoying tbh 😅 it's only missing a bloody shoe tracker! C'mon coros! Not everyone uses strava.
Yes I’m keen to see what it thinks of my trainjng load too when I’ve got 2/3 weeks in there! Great to hear you get on with it well!
Shoe tracker is coming in the next feature update (currently in public beta)

Great tip, thanks! Yes they recommend only twice a week max, so it wouldn’t be something that’s used regularly

Garmin does the Shoe Tracker & also Running Plans...Nothing new there from Coros...just saying..
Really? See for me, that shows how poor the garmin app is, because instantly one of the best things about coros is the app… it’s insanely better than the garmin one!
But obviously the app is different to the watch itself, just saying the app is more intuitive in these early days of testing! Watch testing continues 👊
COROS has shoe tracking on the watch which saves you from having to edit your activities on the app
Good Job I ran 14 miles
Awesome well done 👊
what is the company called you purchased the bicarb from
www.bicarrb.com
Can you put the link to the bicarb product?
Of course - www.bicarrb.com/
@@TheFODRunner thanks! And good luck on Sunday!
@@danieldepalol6101 Thanks buddy!
I know what Float is. But what is Push?
The “push” is where you kick on a bit faster, so you “push the pace” a bit faster…. So 5K at MP, 1K push a bit faster than MP then 1k float a bit slower than MP
