CR7 - Jeffing and a drunk Garmin

6 Replies

Hiya,

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!

Cheers, Evy

Hi BlackScorpion! It sounds as though Jeffing will suit you. Just don’t leave your watch near any alcohol before your next run! 🤣

And you should know that besides chocolate gin I dislike alcohol. So no idea where he got it 😳

My Apple Watch decided to miss the first 2km off yesterday’s run. When technology works it’s brilliant. Frustrating when it goes slightly awry.

Ah no, with me it is only 500 or 600 meters. 2 km is a total bitch! And yeah technology, so fun when it works. And I know many people run 'naked' (no technology), but I like seeing the numbers after a run. I run for fun, but I like the lil numbers...

Hahaha. Ditto. It was a 7km run I was on. When I felt a buzz where I normally hit 5k it only registered 3 when I looked. I nearly stopped running in frustration.

It almost feels as if you did not run those 2 km, eh? Reminds me of the joke 'if it is not on Stravema then you did not run it'. Have I run those 500 meter if Garmin did not register it? 😂

Not what you're looking for?
