Today I have tried Jeffing my 30 mins with a 05:30:30 plan. Meaning I ran 5 mins and walked 30 secs for 30 mins (actually 33 with the walking). I think I ran a bit faster and it was still hard (running after work). But I was not as exhausted by the end. So I think this Jeffing actually works! Going to look more into it.
And yes I THINK I ran faster because my Garmin watch decided to be drunk. How else can you explain that I ran exactly the same road as every other run, knowing I should have reached around 3,50 km and my watch says I ran only 2,92 km? Did 600 meters disappear in a black hole? And my Garmin map tells me I was actually running in another part of town than where I actually was. Again: did I run in a black hole?
Anyhow, I do hope my Garmin will be sober again next time. And looking forward to my next run!
Great that you tried this and it seems to work for you !! As for the drunk Garmin - there seems to be a lot of this these days ! Happened to me a couple of weeks ago and it had me running in a completely different location to where I was in reality ! And doing super fast splits ! Messed up my PB records !
Yeah I apparently ran at one moment 15 km/h, while I am a snail who runs around 6 km/h. Was also somewhere else and ran in total less than the distance I actually did. Looks spectacular, but I prefer the real and correct data 😂
But I also dislike how long it takes my watch to lock on a satelite. I should be standing still in a field for half an hour I think. Not really up to that.
