Garmin still down.

Going for my run in a bit... checked Garmin’s status page, connect is still down. I needed some inspiration, so I’ve been reading and watching running stuff.

I saw this. Apparently, not only was Garmin connect not working at this time, there was some major issue with the GPS satellites (it was before they turned off selective availability I guess) and the guy even forgot his Hoka’s so had to run in some very unsuitable shoes.

Happy running everyone.

Does this help? support.garmin.com/en-US/?f...

Unfortunately not - Garmin Express isn't having any of it either. Will just have to be patient.

My bad... I looked for how to do it without express and for some reason that link was what came up.

It looks so easy. And only took 4 mins to watch, so that's time saving.

Effortless... I can do that... and get a mile done in 12 minutes 🤣

I noticed Kipchoge set all his records sans watch too 🤣

Wow that was phenomenal. 🤩❤️

As a bit of a techie, I was enthralled by Kipchoge’s attempts to break the 2 hour marathon record... especially the first as there was a film made... but that at the time with no help from computers or data analysis must have been mind blowing to see happen. That track is special... that’s where humans started to do impossible runs. I thought about it when I first ran 30 minutes... I need to run there again one day.

Yes, I agree! 🤩 I watched both of Kipchoge’s runs too!! I was glued to his last one from start to finish. He is absolutely phenomenal too. 🙌🏽

I’m sure you will run back there one day!! ❤️

I’d have missed the last one if you hadn’t told me it was on! Saw the last stages of it... something tells me it’ll happen again in a street race soon.

Very kind of them to hit garmin while I’m having a running break. Don’t worry if it’s on your watch it will download eventually.

Great film !

It will... and I’ll edit the titles and tag my shoes before ignoring all the stats as usual 🤣

Not so bad for me with Garmin down. I'm at home nursing a broken ankle. I got taken out by a door wedge at work. I reached 7k. Back to the beginning after I'm healed.

Oh no that's awful! Hope it mends quickly and that you're not in too much pain .

ShadowDee in reply toFionamags

Thank you. Pain is easing off. Not as bad as before. I think 2020 is cursed.

The app keeps flashing about a maintenance still, but things go through... just not at race pace... more of a recovery run!

Apparently Garmin had a bug - not Covid, but ransomware. Were told they had to pay $10,000,000 ransom to get their systems back

UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply toTartancat

That’s what I heard too. They could afford it, but would you really trust these people? 🤣
